Bill that would change claims process on construction contracts fails to pass

Contact:

SB 5788 concerning construction contracts, has died. Also known as the “Mike M. Johnson” bill, referencing a state Supreme Court case that was favorable to public owners, this bill would have undermined the claim notification process in contract procedures. It was highly problematic for cities and AWC opposed the bill.
