What This Bill Proposed
Louisiana HB 924 prohibits unsolicited direct contacts by residential contractors and roofing companies during a six-month following a declared disaster. The measure bans deceptive insurance claim promises, requires written pre-contract disclosures, and allows homeowners to void violating contracts for up to one year.
Residential property owners facing repairs after a natural disaster gain expanded contract cancellation rights and clearer written cost disclosures, while contractors face specific monetary penalties and license suspensions for uninvited door-to-door solicitations or insurance claim inducements.
