New legislation in Louisiana could change the game for contractors—and not in a good way.
In this episode, Galen Hair sits down with Jonathan Davis of Gator Roofing to break down House Bills 924 and 388, two proposals that could severely restrict how contractors operate, especially after major storms.
While these bills are framed as "consumer protection," the reality is far more complicated—and potentially dangerous for both contractors and policyholders. Jonathan shares what's happening behind the scenes, why these bills are so concerning, and what the industry needs to do right now.
Highlights:
- Why HB 924 could block contractors from helping homeowners for up to 6 months after a storm
- How HB 388 could effectively ban all forms of contractor outreach
- The real impact these bills would have on storm recovery timelines
- Why "protecting consumers" isn't the full story
- The risk of fines, contract cancellations, and losing your license
- What contractors should be doing right now to stay protected
- Why this isn't just a Louisiana issue—it's a national warning sign
