839 A.2d 743 (2003)

154 Md. App. 241

Sheldon I. LANDSMAN v. MARYLAND HOME IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

December 22, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sheldon I. Landsman, Potomac, for appellant.

Joel Jacobson (J. Joseph Curran, Jr., Atty. Gen., on brief), for appellee.

Argued before DAVIS, KRAUSER, and BARBERA, JJ.


BARBERA, J.

We are asked to decide in this case whether the General Assembly's 2000 amendment to the Home Improvement Guaranty Fund, increasing by a third the maximum amount a homeowner can recover for actual loss due to the unsatisfactory work of a contractor, applies retroactively to contracts entered into before the effective date of that amendment. For the reasons that follow, we hold that it does.
