Pennsylvania contractors must register with state attorney general.
Last year, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act as a way to help state residents avoid problems with shady home-improvement contractors as well as to impose criminal penalties on pros who commit fraud. The law goes into effect on July 1.
As part of the legislation, contractors who perform $5,000 or more a year in jobs are required to register with the state attorney general's Bureau of Consumer Protection, keep minimum insurance coverage, and use contracts that contain the start date and completion date of a project, a description of work being performed, and the clients' legal rights.
Contractors in the Keystone State must register by July 1; they can register online and get a license number issued by the end of the day. Consumers can also visit the same site to check whether a contractor has registered.
