ACT NOW! HB 3344 - Licensure for Roofing Contractors, has been set for public hearing by the House Trade, Workforce, Economic Development Committee on Tuesday April 15 at 10:30 AM. We will need your full support to get this bill voted out of the House committee! The bill: HB 3344 (Curry) Relating to the regulation of roofing contractors; providing an administrative penalty; authorizing a fee; creating a criminal offense; requiring an occupational license. We need you to do two things right away: 1) Use the House Public Comment site to submit your support for the bill. HOUSE PUBLIC COMMENTS SITE: Texas residents who wish to electronically submit comments related to agenda items on this notice without testifying in person can do so until the hearing is adjourned by visiting: https://comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c473 Once on this site, complete your information then scroll down to HB 3344 by Curry in the list and click on the "SELECT" button. You will then enter your comments in support of the proposed legislation. You can simply paste the following: Currently, our state’s roofing industry is plagued by bad actors who scam hardworking Texans, perform little to no work, and vanish after collecting payment. These fraudulent practices not only harm homeowners but also undermine legitimate businesses like mine. HB 3344 would protect consumers by creating commonsense licensing requirements for roofing contractors, similar to those that exist for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC professionals. The bill would also create an online database of licensed contractors and require written contracts with clear, transparent terms—tools that empower consumers and promote trust. All Texans deserve to have a safe roof overhead. I respectfully ask you to support HB 3344 to protect consumers and promote accountability in the roofing industry. 2) SHARE THIS INFORMATION!
