UNITED CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION

I whole heartedly agree with your position to repeal B&P 7027.2.It ought to require an unlicensed operator to state their workers compensation policy status, their General Liability Insurance status, as well as CLEARLY STATE that they cannot legally perform work where labor AND materials exceed $500. But even if all this happens it is all useless unless enforced. When law only applies to law abiding citizens it is only punitive to those who abide. I cannot understand why local law enforcement is not willing to enforce the law.

Something’s got to happen before all the legitimate contractors are defeated and end up joining the underground economy to just to survive. As long as homeowners are offered the opportunity to exploit this fringe element of society they won’t consider themselves as contributing to the problem. And no politician is ever going to do anything that legislates what a homeowner can and cannot do with their own property if they ever hope to get re-elected.
