Filed under Occupational.
Contracting; Providing minimum penalties for certain unlawful actions, etc.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDUnlicensed contracting is already a first-degree misdemeanor. A conviction now carries a mandatory minimum sentence too: at least 15 days in jail, or at least 12 months of probation, whichever the court chooses to impose.
These criminal penalties are not the only consequence. They can be imposed on top of the separate licensing-board remedies the state can already pursue against unlicensed contractors.
AIA person convicted of unlicensed contracting under this paragraph must now receive at least 15 days in jail or at least 12 months of probation. Previously the general misdemeanor penalty statutes governed, with no mandatory floor on the sentence.
