Show Notes
Maine lawmakers are considering a bill, LD twelve twenty-six, to license home contractors, aiming to protect homeowners from scams. The bill, which has already passed both houses, would require a license for jobs over $15,000, overseen by a new Residential Construction Board. Maine is one of the few states without such protection. The Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee is deciding whether to fund the bill, with estimated startup costs of $600,000. The committee is weighing the bill against other funding requests, such as health services for seniors and kids. The outcome of this decision will significantly impact Maine homeowners.
