Increases the exemption threshold for handyman services in Hawaii from $1,500 to $2,500.

This bill increases the exemption threshold for handyman services in Hawaii from $1,500 to $2,500. The exemption applies to projects where the aggregate contract price for labor and materials is not more than $2,500. This exemption does not apply if a building permit is required or if the project is part of a larger or major operation. The bill aims to address the shortage of licensed contractors and rising renovation costs in Hawaii.
