Relating to voidable provisions contained in certain construction contracts.
HB 3874 requires owners to provide contractors with copies of any documents referenced in construction contracts at least 10 days before signing. This applies to contracts between property owners and "original contractors" (those working directly with owners). If owners fail to provide these copies by the deadline, the referenced terms become voidable by the contractor. The bill aims to prevent contractors from being bound by unexpected terms they haven't reviewed.
