Sub Groups Publish Booklet on Retainage
Contractors contemplating out-of-state projects can look up individual payment and retainage laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the first reference of its kind published jointly by the Associated Specialty Contractors (ASC) and the American Subcontractors Association (ASA).
Entitled Summary of State Laws on Payment for Public Works Construction, the booklet is divided into five sections: retainage by 1) state and 2) topic: payment laws by 3) state and 4) topic, and 5) a numerical summary. The individual state laws apply to public works construction only.
"Although federal legislation attracts more attention," said ASC president Bob Wilkinson, "contractors should be most concerned about the laws of their own states. For most contractors, state and local public works are a significant portion of their market-much more so than federally funded projects which are often administered by state and local authorities in accordance with applicable local laws."
To order copies of the booklet (1-10 copies, $3.00 each; 10+ copies, $1.50 each), contact either: Associ
