 In 2010, the Legislature passed White's Construction Prompt Pay Act (LB 552) which ensures that contractors, subcontractors, and workers receive payment in a timely manner.Under the bill, owners must pay contractors within 30 days and contractors and subcontractors must pay within 10 days.The bill was aimed at large out-of-state contractors who use Nebraska craftsmen as a bank, putting off paying them well beyond the normal 30-day tradition.
