Bill Summary
Relative to timely public payments for work not included in original construction contracts
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 30 of the General Laws to require that every construction contract subject to certain sections of Massachusetts law provide a reasonable time period, not exceeding 30 days, for the approval or rejection of a written request for an increase in the contract price. The bill also specifies that a request that is neither approved nor rejected within the required time period shall be deemed approved and may be submitted for payment, and that any rejection must be in writing with an explanation of the factual and contractual basis. Additionally, the bill renders void and unenforceable any contract provision that requires a party to delay commencing the applicable dispute resolution procedure until more than 60 days after the rejection.
