SB65

Removing persons who perform drywall services from definition of “contractor” in Contractor Licensing Act

Chamber Passed·2/21/26

Exempts drywall service providers from the definition of "contractor" under the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act.

The bill amends the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act to exclude individuals or entities performing drywall services from the definition of "contractor." This change means that those who specialize in drywall installation and related services will not be subject to the licensing requirements applicable to other contractors. The bill specifies that the definition of "contractor" does not include persons who perform drywall services, thereby clarifying their status under the licensing act.
