PRIVILEGES/LIENS: Provides for privileges on immovables. (8/1/24)

This bill updates state laws regarding payment bonds for public construction projects to ensure subcontractors and material suppliers get paid. It clarifies that all bonds for these projects must follow specific rules, and any extra promises in the bond are ignored while missing requirements are automatically added. The law creates a clear process where suppliers must wait 45 days after delivering materials before notifying the contractor and surety about unpaid bills, and if the bill is not paid within 90 days, the surety must pay them within 10 days. By standardizing these payment terms, the bill aims to protect workers and suppliers on government-funded construction sites from non-payment.
