SB550: Understanding New Virginia Law 2/9 NV

ABC-VA Northern Virginia Training Facility ABC-VA Northern Virginia Training Facility, 42680 Trade West Drive, Dulles,, VA, United States

SB550: UNDERSTANDING NEW VIRGINIA LAW New Virginia law prohibits Pay-if-Paid clauses and adds Prompt Pay provisions. In 2022, the Virginia General Assembly and Governor passed SB550, which would eliminate or prohibit “pay-if-paid” clauses in public and private construction contracts in Virginia. Payment by the owner can no longer be a condition precedent to payment to any lower-tier subcontractor, unless the owner is “insolvent or a debtor in bankruptcy.” SB550 went to a Public Body Procurement Workgroup, which has now reported its recommendations to the General Assembly, with the law effective on January 1, 2023. The proposed new § 11-4.6 (B) also mandates “prompt pay” provisions in private construction contracts that (i) requires the owner to pay the general contractor within 60 days of receipt of an invoice after “satisfactory completion” and (ii) requires a “higher-tier contractor” to pay a “lower-tier subcontractor" within 60 days of satisfactory completion of the work or within seven days after receipt of payment from the owner, whichever is earlier.
