HB 2091: registrar of contractors agency; continuation

Sponsor: Representative Hendrix, LD 14

Committee on Regulatory Affairs

Overview

Continues the Registrar of Contractors (ROC) for 8 years.

History

Established in 1931, ROC licenses and regulates residential and commercial contractors, investigates complaints against contractors, is authorized to suspend or revoke licenses, conduct hearings, issue citations and assess civil penalties. ROC's daily operations are overseen by the Governor appointed Registrar. ROC is a 90/10 agency that deposits 90% of its collected revenues into the ROC Fund for administrative expenses and 10% into the state General Fund.

The Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund is administered by ROC for the benefit of claimants damaged by an act, representation, transaction or conduct of a licensed registered contractor that is in violation of statutory rules or regulations relating to contractors (Title 32, Chapter 10, A.R.S.).

ROC is set to terminate on July 1, 2024 (A.R.S. § 41-304.04). The House of Representatives Commerce Committee of Reference (COR) met on January 16, 2024, to conduct a sunset review of ROC and recommended that the ROC be continued for 8 years.
