This bill aims to amend the business and professions code to regulate home improvement contracts.

This responsibility does not exempt them from administrative discipline against subcontractors or home improvement salespeople who violate the law. The bill also mandates a disclosure in home improvement contracts regarding the use of subcontractors.
