	*Notes:*	Not For Profit-ICPAS Supports House Amendment #5 becomes the bill. Enacts the Community Partner Fair Contracting Act to overhaul State payment, grant, and litigation processes to improve prompt payment, transparency, and accountability. Key shifts include: Prompt payment reforms: eliminates outdated language, extends payment windows to 90 days for certain fiscal years, imposes clear 30-day review timelines, and mandates timely, pro rata downstream payments to subcontractors with explicit flow-down requirements. It introduces a new 2% monthly interest penalty for late contractor payments and strengthens dispute resolution mechanisms. Funding flexibility: expands permissible sources for paying interest (beyond General Revenue) to include other non-prohibited funds, and creates DOT-specific funding flexibility. Grant transparency: requires standard grant methodologies (advance, reimbursement, working capital) in grant agreements, strengthens reporting and stop-payment procedures, and obliges grant-making agencies to align with 2 CFR parts and provide technical assistance via OBM. Court of Claims modernization: creates a new Contractual Claims framework (8.2) for lapsed-appropriation claims with tight timelines for agency decisions and court awards, plus a clear defect-cure path. The Court’s procedural authority is updated to permit remote/electronic filing and streamlined administration. Lapsed-appropriations oversight: mandates ongoing reporting to the General Assembly on lapsed-appropriation claims commencing 2027, and clarifies Attorney General involvement in defense and recoupment. Overall, the bill emphasizes timely payments, stronger enforcement tools, greater transparency in grants, and modernized court procedures, with an effective date of July 1, 2027.
