HB 4536 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to notice submitted to state and local contractors of complaints alleging a violation of certain prevailing wage laws.

HB 4536 requires public bodies (like state or local governments) to send written notice to contractors when a complaint alleges a violation of prevailing wage laws. It mandates that public bodies make a decision on such complaints within 31 days of sending the notice and limits payment withholdings to only the final payment unless "good cause" is determined. The bill directly affects contractors who may face wage law complaints and public bodies that administer contracts. It applies only to complaints received on or after September 1, 2025.
