A Good Day for Trade Contractors

The Government of Alberta introduced Bill 30, Service Alberta Statutes Amendment Act, 2024. Bill 30 provides amendments to the Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act (PPCLA) and also introduces requirements for Prompt Payment rules to apply to Alberta Infrastructure’s Public Works Act with implementation planned for the spring of 2025. Once passed final reading, the highlight of Bill 30 will be a ‘No Stay’ provision for the Adjudicator’s decision. An Adjudicator’s decision will be final unless, through an application to the court by the losing party, the court order’s a Stay of the decision. The Alberta Trade Contractors is please that the Government of Alberta listened to our concerns and implemented these changes. Trade Contractors can now be confident that the decision made under the PPCLA will result in enforceable payment terms.
