The
House Committee on Regulated Industries offers the following substitute to HR
1293:
A
RESOLUTION
Creating
the Joint House and Senate Study Committee on the Licensure of Residential and
General Contractors; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
home building and commercial general contracting represent two of Georgia's
largest industries; and
WHEREAS,
Georgia's extensive statutory provisions have created an inefficient and overly
cumbersome licensing process for residential and general contractors;
and
WHEREAS,
the regulation of residential and general contractors is a critically important
issue relating to the recovery of Georgia's economy and this state's overall
economic success.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that there is
created the Joint House and Senate Study Committee on the Licensure of
Residential and General Contractors to investigate the current statutory
provisions and regulations and make suggested revisions and amendments. The
committee shall be composed of four members of the House of Representatives to
be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and four members of
the Senate to be appointed by the President of the Senate. The Speaker of the
House of Representatives and the President of the Senate shall designate one of
the members appointed by each of them as a cochairperson of the committee. The
committee shall meet at the call of the cochairpersons.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall undertake a study of the
conditions, needs, issues, and problems described in this resolution and issues
related thereto and may recommend any actions or legislation which the committee
deems necessary or appropriate. The committee may conduct such meetings at such
times and places as it may deem necessary or convenient to enable it to exercise
fully and effectively its powers, perform its duties, and accomplish the
objectives and purposes of this resolution. The legislative members of the
committee shall receive the allowances authorized for legislative members of
interim legislative committees but shall receive the same for not more than five
days unless additional days are authorized. The funds necessary to carry out
the provisions of this resolution shall come from funds appropriated to the
House of Representatives and the Senate. In the event the committee makes a
report of its findings and recommendations, with suggestions for proposed
legislation, if any, such report shall be made on or before December 1,
2010. The committee shall stand abolished on December 1, 2010.
