MINOR

The bill was amended to expand its application to include the Capital Development Board alongside the Department of Transportation, ensuring contractors under both entities must pay subcontractors promptly. A new requirement was added mandating that State officials make voucher numbers, dates, and amounts available electronically to ensure transparency. Additionally, the law now explicitly extends payment protections to lower-tier subcontractors and material suppliers throughout the entire contracting chain, not just direct contractors.
