If a contractor fails to make full payment within 10 business days or 15 calendar days after receiving payment, they must pay interest to subcontractors and suppliers. The State is required to pay interest to vendors if payments are not made within 60 days. The bill also mandates that State agencies review bills and invoices within 30 days and provides for administrative hearings if payment is withheld without reasonable cause.
