Newly Enacted HB 715 / SB 1076 (2025) Imposes New Requirements on Roofing Contractors
Since 2019, roofing contractors have seen new requirements and changes to their scopes of work imposed under Florida’s contractor licensing statutes. Many of these changes require contractual disclosures and impose various timelines, including cancellation deadlines. Most recently HB 715 (formerly SB 1076) was signed into law by Governor DeSantis. The new bill creates multiple changes to Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, that effect roofers.
