Relating to funds reserved for certain construction materials.

SB 2131 prevents construction owners, contractors, and subcontractors from reserving funds under Property Code Section 53.101 for specially fabricated materials that have already been delivered, accepted, and covered by a manufacturer's warranty. The bill applies only to new contracts signed on or after September 1, 2025, leaving existing contracts unaffected. It restricts fund retention for materials that meet both delivery/acceptance and warranty conditions. This change directly affects how construction projects manage payments for specific materials.
