HB 402-IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR IN ADS 9:04:54 AM CO-CHAIR HANNAN announced that the next order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 402, "An Act relating to identification requirements for contractors and home inspectors." 9:05:07 AM RYAN JOHNSTON, Staff, Representative Calvin Schrage, Alaska State Legislature, presented HB 402 on behalf of Representative Schrage, prime sponsor. He said the bill would address an issue related to the advertising requirements of contractors, based on statute established in 1968. The contractors currently are required "to list fairly specific language" and HB 402 would provide opportunity for an online option. He read the sectional analysis of HB 402, included in the committee packet. The bill would amend AS 08.18.171 to add new language specifying that a contractor's Internet website or "landing page" satisfies the contractor's identification requirements. He said Section 2 would amend AS 08.18.053(b); he indicated that the same action would be taken for home inspectors. He noted that HB 402 would add the definition of "landing page" a single page that appears in response to clicking on a search engine and other advertisement. 9:07:15 AM REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND expressed total understanding of the proposed legislation. MR. JOHNSTON noted that the bill looks to help small business owners with multiple licenses by modernizing the process. 9:09:06 AM MR. JOHNSTON, in response to Representative McCarty, explained that the bill would establish a way for all licensing information to be made available in one online search platform. In response to a follow-up question, he confirmed Representative McCarty was correct in saying that the website information would still need to be included in a print advertisement. 9:11:53 AM CO-CHAIR HANNAN, to clarify, offered her understanding that the proposed bill would not require use of a website but would allow it. MR. JOHNSTON confirmed that is correct. 9:13:54 AM CO-CHAIR SCHRAGE, as prime sponsor, confirmed that Co-Chair Hannan had aptly expressed the status quo in comparison to what HB 402 would allow. 9:14:04 AM CO-CHAIR HANNAN announced that HB 402 was held over.
