What’s in it

AI summary When a local government finishes a public construction project, they must send a written notice to the main contractor, the bond company, and anyone who filed a claim for labor or materials. This notice must be sent within 14 days of the project being officially accepted. If the government fails to send these notices, they cannot be held responsible for any resulting claims or damages.¹

Why it matters. Public corporations, principal contractors, bond sureties, and labor or material claimants would be affected by new notification requirements following the completion of a public improvement project. Once a project is finally accepted, the public corporation must send written notice of the acceptance date to the contractor, the bond surety, and any claimants who have filed a claim.²
