Water Infrastructure: Subcontractor and Taxpayer Protection Act
This new law aims to enhance financial security in federally funded water infrastructure projects. It mandates payment and performance security, protecting subcontractors from non-payment and taxpayers from uncompleted work. This ensures public funds are better safeguarded, and projects are more likely to be completed on time and correctly.
