This bill, the Private Works Change Order Fair Payment Act, establishes a process for resolving disputes related to change orders on construction projects in California. It requires owners to respond to contractor or subcontractor claims within 30 days and provides a framework for informal conferences, mediation, and, if necessary, litigation to ensure timely and fair payment for work completed. The act aims to reduce costly legal battles and promote stability within the construction industry, particularly for small businesses and disadvantaged enterprises.
