SUBCONTRACTORS HAVE RELIEF FROM WEST-FAIR   

Governor Signs Into Law Amendment Allowing Lawsuit Against            Payment Bond Without First Exhausting All Other Legal Remedies

On July 16, 2009, Governor David Paterson signed into law Ch.224/L. 2009 amending General Obligations Law Section 5-322. 1 in relation to a subcontractor's or materialman's right to file a claim and/or commence an action upon a payment bond.  This amendment forbids agreements in construction contracts to condition subcontractor's and materialman's rights to file a claim and/or commence an action on a payment bond on exhaustion of another legal remedy.
