Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the State Prompt Payment Act. Provides that if a contractor is assessed liquidated damages by the State, the contractor is still responsible to each subcontractor under the subcontracts. For contracts with the Department of Transportation, provides that if a contractor is assessed a liquidated damages penalty equal to or exceeding the total amount of the contract and the contractor is unable to pay its subcontractors, the Department of Transportation shall verify completion of the work performed by the subcontractor and, upon successful verification, pay the subcontractor the amount owed on the subcontract with the contractor.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the State Prompt Payment Act. Provides when a contractor receives any payment under a contract with a State official or agency, the contractor shall pay each lower-tiered subcontractor and material supplier and each subcontractor and material supplier shall make payment to its own respective subcontractors and material suppliers. Provides that for construction contracts with the Department of Transportation, the contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier, regardless of tier, shall not offset, decrease, or diminish payment or payments that are due to its subcontractors or material suppliers without reasonable cause. Requires a contractor who refuses to make prompt payment to make written notice. Sets forth requirements for administrative hearings held in the event a contractor refuses to make prompt payment. Allows contractors to be further barred from entering into State public construction contracts for a period of 6 months if, on 2 or more occasions within a 3-calendar-year period, there is a finding by an administrative law judge that the contractor failed to make payment in full without reasonable cause. Allows for the award of attorney's fees. Provides that orders under these provisions are subject to the Administrative Review Law. Sets forth rules of construction. Allows State agencies to adopt rules as may be deemed necessary to establish formal procedures in accordance with the provisions. Makes other changes.
