| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Co-sponsor: Home Improvement Guaranty Fund |
| In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation to amend Act 132 of 2008, the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, to establish the Home Improvement Guaranty Fund. This bill was House Bill 598 during the 2011-12 Session. The Guaranty Fund would be established within the State Treasury and be administered by the Bureau of Consumer Protection in the Attorney General’s Office. A contractor that registers their business in compliance with Act 132 will pay a fee of $100 biennially to the fund. The money will be used to compensate consumers for the actual loss that results from an act or omission by a contractor in the performance of services, as well as a court determined violation of Act 132. Previous co-sponsors: PRESTON , D. COSTA, DeLUCA , JOSEPHS , KORTZ , MURT , PAYTON , READSHAW and YOUNGBLOOD Thank you. |
Introduced as HB427
