Utah's construction licensing law currently classifies anyone who offers, for a fee, to provide a list of subcontractors or suppliers on a construction project as a "contractor," requiring them to hold a state contractor's license. This bill would remove that specific activity from the legal definition of "contractor," so people who only offer subcontractor or supplier referral lists for a fee would no longer need a contractor's license to do so; those who provide more hands-on services, such as construction consulting, managing subcontractors, or offering project management or counseling, would still need to be licensed. The bill also includes a coordination clause aligning this change with a related bill, H.B. 40, so that if both pass, the definition of "contractor" in the newer law will be updated consistently starting January 1, 2027.
