Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board for Contractors intends to consider amending 18VAC50-22, Board for Contractors Regulations. The purpose of the proposed action is to amend the prohibited acts, specifically, the provisions of 18VAC50-22-260 B 9, which currently require that the residential written contract contain a statement of the total cost, to allow cost-plus contracts as well as time and material contracts. The amended language would include specific hourly rate and percentage markups and caps on the total cost. This will align the contract requirements issued by the Board for Contractors with industry standards.

The agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-201 and 54.1-1146 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Comment Deadline: February 2, 2022.
