Chamber opposes contractor licensing proposal

1/7/2020

 
Picture
​Due to the potential negative impact on business growth and jobs, the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce opposes Toledo City Council Ordinance 2-20. This proposal would require additional construction contractors to complete examinations and obtain a local license to perform work in the city. A hearing will take place before Council’s Regional Growth, Development & Small Business Enterprise Committee on Wednesday, January 8 at 2:00 p.m. on the first floor of One Government Center located on Jackson Boulevard in downtown Toledo.
​Toledo is an outlier among metro Ohio cities by requiring local examinations and licensing for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and home improvement and remodeling contractors. By creating local licensing requirements for framers and drywall installers, the ordinance would place Toledo’s regulations further out of the norm. This proposal does not make it easier for people to do business in Toledo.
 
Depending on the outcome of the hearing, it is possible that City Council could vote on this proposal at their next meeting on January 14. If you have concerns as to how this will impact your business or future opportunities, it is important to voice your concerns now.
 
Members are encouraged to attend the hearing to share their concerns directly with Council members. You may also call council members at 419-245-1050 or email them at:
