Existing law requires an owner of a private work of improvement to release retention proceeds withheld from any payment within 45 days after the date of completion. Existing law requires a public entity to release retention proceeds withheld from any payment by the public entity within 60 days after the date of completion. Existing law requires an original contractor to pay any subcontractor within 10 days from the time that all or any portion of retention proceeds are received by the original contractor. Existing law requires an original contractor or subcontractor to pay any subcontractor within 10 days from the time of receipt of each progress payment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Existing law imposes a penalty of 2% on the amount due per month on funds that are improperly withheld in a contract dispute relating to public and private works of improvement, as specified. Existing law requires any person or corporation that has contracted to do business with a public utility to pay any subcontractor within 15 working days of receipt of each progress payment from the public utility, except as specified. Existing law also requires a state agency that fails to make any progress payment within 30 days after receipt of the payment request to pay interest at the rate of 10% per year. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to reconsider prompt payment statutes regarding public and private works of improvement to aid in their clarity and application.
