AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Administrative Services to conduct a comprehensive study on alternative methods for implementing retainage provisions in public improvement contracts, which are agreements for construction or infrastructure projects where a portion of payment is typically withheld (retainage) to ensure satisfactory project completion. The department is required to submit a report, which may include legislative recommendations, to interim legislative committees focused on public procurement by September 15, 2026. The study and reporting requirement will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited directive for the department to explore potential improvements to how contractors are paid and held accountable in public construction projects.
