House Bill 566, which amends the state’s Contractor and Subcontractor Payment Act (otherwise known as Prompt Pay), was signed into law on June 12th. The amendments provide contractors and subcontractors with the ability to suspend work without penalty due to nonpayment. The suspension of performance provision requires that certain notification timelines are followed. The bill will take effect in October 2018.

Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP has produced a one-page summary, written by Patrick R. Kingsley, outlining the major changes found in House Bill No. 566.
