Louisiana HB490 modifies payment requirements for public entities under public contracts.

Louisiana HB490 amends existing law to provide limited exemptions from payment under contract requirements for public entities in certain circumstances. It defines "public work" as the erection, construction, alteration, improvement, or repair of any public facility or immovable property owned, used, or leased by a public entity. The bill exempts public entities from payment-related conditions and penalties if they receive funding from another public entity or the United States government. It also interrupts payment-related time limits and requirements during declared emergencies.
