About the Program This August, Governor Patrick signed a landmark bill that fundamentally changes how parties to a private construction contract will relate to one another. The new law applies to all private construction contracts signed after November 8, 2010 (except for residential projects involving four or less units). The statute dramatically affects the following issues:
- Timing of submission of payment applications and requisitions
- The time allowed to review and approve or disallow change orders
- Timing of payment from owners, to general contractors, and general contractors to subs
- The enforceability of pay if paid clauses A contractor’s remedies following rejection of a requisition or change order, or following nonpayment
The law cannot be waived by agreement, and contains several “tripwires” that can cause contractors to incur significant liabilities if they are unaware of the law’s requirements. If you are involved with the construction industry, it is critical that you learn and understand the new Prompt Pay law. This seminar pro-vides practical business level advice on the law’s requirements, and offers tips and tactics on how contractors can successfully navigate this changed landscape.
