Relating to the payment of funds under construction contracts.

HB 3289 clarifies when disputes about construction contract payments are valid, preventing unrelated contract disagreements from delaying payments. It defines that a "good faith dispute" does not include disagreements about contracts or agreements unrelated to the specific construction work being paid for. This applies only to new construction contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025, affecting government agencies and contractors working on public construction projects. The bill aims to streamline payments by limiting payment delays to disputes directly tied to the construction work itself.
