Sec. 08.18.171. Definitions.
(4) "contractor" means a person who, in the pursuit of
an independent business, undertakes or offers to
perform, or claims to have the capacity to perform, or
submits a bid for a project to construct, alter,
repair, move, or demolish a building, highway, road,
railroad, or any type of fixed structure, including
excavation and site development and erection of
scaffolding; "contractor" includes a general
contractor, builder, mechanical contractor, specialty
contractor, and subcontractor;

CHAIR HUGHES asked for an explanation of changes from version B
to version G.
MR. PHELPS stated that the CS is in response to a point the
Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development
(DCCED) made about home inspectors being required to provide the
same identification information as contractors. He reviewed the
following explanation of changes from version B to version G for
SB 181:
Section 1 AS 08.18.051 (b) Page 1, Line 3 through
Page 1, Line 12
Removes the definition of "landing page" from this
section and places it in section 3. No other changes.
Section 2 AS 08.18.053 (b) Page 1, Line 13 through
Page 2, Line 6
Adds a section which offers a similar opportunity for
home inspectors regulated under AS.08.18.053 as was
made for contractors under AS.08.18.051 in section 1.
The amendment language is identical in both sections.
Section 3 AS 08.18.171 Page 2, Line 7 through Page
2, Line 10
Moves the definition of "landing page" from
AS.08.18.051 to AS.08.18.171 which is the definitions
section for all of chapter 18.
