final payment, or other payment made by the contracting agency.
(b) The information provided under
paragraph (a) must include:
(1) the amount of the payment;
(2) the date the payment was made or
approved; and
(3) a copy of the payment application
submitted by the contractor.

provide the requested information within seven calendar days of receipt of the
request.
(d) The public contracting agency must
post on its public website for solicitations or bids or its homepage, and
otherwise make available to contractors and subcontractors, contact information

request a requestor to use that system.

the contractor or subcontractor providing information required under this
section.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 15.72, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. Retainage. (a) A public contracting agency may reserve as retainage from any progress payment on a public contract for a public improvement an amount not to exceed five percent of the payment. A public contracting agency may reduce the amount of the retainage and may eliminate retainage on any monthly contract payment if, in the agency's opinion, the work is progressing satisfactorily.
(b) The public contracting agency must release all retainage no later than 60 days after substantial completion, subject to the terms of this subdivision. If the public contracting agency reduces the amount of retainage, the contractor must reduce retainage for any subcontractors at the same rate.
(c) A contractor on a public contract for a public improvement must pay all remaining retainage to its subcontractors no later than ten days after receiving payment of retainage from the public contracting agency, unless there is a dispute about the work under a subcontract. If there is a dispute about the work under a subcontract, the contractor must pay out retainage to any subcontractor whose work is not involved in the dispute, and must provide a written statement detailing the amount and reason for the withholding to the affected subcontractor.
(e) After substantial completion, a public contracting agency may withhold no more than:
(1) 250 percent of the cost to correct or complete work known at the time of substantial completion; and
(2) one percent of the value of the contract or $500, whichever is greater, pending completion and submission of all final paperwork by the contractor or subcontractor. For purposes of this subdivision, "final paperwork" means documents required to fulfill contractual obligations, including, but not limited to, operation manuals, payroll documents for projects subject to prevailing wage requirements, and the withholding exemption certificate required by section 270C.66.

(i) Nothing in this section requires payment for a portion of a contract that is not complete or for which an invoice has not been submitted.
(j) When an invoice is required,
prohibiting or delaying submittal of the invoice is contrary to public policy
and is void and unenforceable. A
contract provision waiving the right to submit an invoice is void and
unenforceable.

A progress payment shall not be considered acceptance or approval of any work or waiver of any defects therein.
(b) Retainage on a building and construction contract may not exceed five percent. An owner or owner's agent may reduce the amount of retainage and may eliminate retainage on any monthly contract payment if, in the owner's opinion, the work is progressing satisfactorily. If the owner reduces the amount of retainage, the contractor must reduce retainage for any subcontractors at the same rate. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to require that retainage be withheld in any building or construction contract.
(d) A contractor must pay all remaining retainage to its subcontractors no later than ten days after receiving payment of retainage, unless there is a dispute about the work under a subcontract, in which case the contractor must pay out retainage to any party whose work is not involved in the dispute.
