| From: | Representative Harry Readshaw |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Co-sponsor: Home Improvement Guarantee Fund |
| Upon our return, I plan to re-introduce legislation (HB427) 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. If you have any questions, or need any additional information, please contact Margaret Tricarico at 717-772-5568, Democratic Extension 6168 or mtricarico@pahouse.net. Thank you!
