Businesses hoping the state will continue to pay for certain damages sustained on projects contracted with state agencies might need to temper their expectations.
The Senate Policy Steering Committee on Ways and Means voted unanimously Thursday to absolve the state of paying certain early-termination and liquidated-damage fees on contracted projects, and cap state leases of personal property at $500,000.
The bill, which also passed its last committee unanimously, is now headed to the floor.
