Bill overview
This bill requires Oregon state agencies and contractors to handle additional work requested on public improvement contracts or public works contracts more transparently. Specifically, it mandates that agencies issue change orders for the extra work within a set timeframe or pay interest if they don't, and it extends similar requirements to contractors working with subcontractors and private owners. The bill also establishes clear rules for calculating and paying interest on unpaid balances and ensures timely payments to subcontractors and material suppliers.
