| Prompt payment to subcontractors | The contractor must pay the subcontractor within 14 days after the contractor receives payment from the owner.

| Retainage cap on private work | No statutory cap was confirmed — retainage is whatever the subcontract says, and should never exceed what the owner holds from the general contractor |
