Summary — SB 5509 (2025)

Title: Relating to the financial administration of the Construction Contractors Board; and declaring an emergency.
Status: Chapter 247, 2025 Laws. Governor signed May 28, 2025. Effective date listed as July 1, 2025.

Main purpose and intent

SB 5509 is intended to revise how the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) is funded, budgeted, or otherwise financially administered. The bill’s title indicates the legislature intended to change one or more aspects of the CCB’s fiscal management (for example: fee authority, fund structure, accounting or expenditure rules, reserves, assessments, or transfers). The title also indicates an emergency declaration was included to address timing of implementation.

Note: The full bill text is required for precise details of the specific financial changes enacted.

Key provisions (summary approach)

Because the bill text was not provided with the request, the summary below identifies the likely categories of change given the bill title. To determine exact provisions, consult the enacted bill/chapter text.

Possible types of changes the bill may contain:
- Adjustments to CCB fee schedules, licensing or renewal fees, or fee-setting authority.
- Revisions to the CCB’s allowable uses of revenue, accounting procedures, or internal fiscal controls.
- Changes to fund structures (creation, consolidation, or transfers of dedicated funds or reserves).
- Direction on budget authority, appropriation limits, or reporting requirements to the legislature or the Department of Administrative Services.
- Temporary or immediate fiscal measures enabled by the emergency declaration (e.g., immediate transfers, accelerated rulemaking, or revised effective dates for fee changes).

Who is affected

  • Construction Contractors Board (agency operations, budgeting, and rulemaking).
  • Licensed contractors and applicants (if fees, assessments, or licensing costs are changed).
  • Consumers and the construction industry broadly (indirectly, via regulatory capacity and enforcement funding).
  • State budget and other agencies that interact financially with the CCB.

  • Enrolled as Chapter 247, 2025 Laws. Listed effective date: July 1, 2025.
