Prompt Payment Task Force

The Prompt Payment Task Force examines Hawaii's laws and practices governing timely payment to contractors, subcontractors, and vendors who do business with 該州 and counties. The task force identifies bottlenecks in the payment process, reviews whether existing prompt payment statutes are being followed, and recommends statutory or administrative changes to reduce payment delays. Its work particularly benefits small businesses that depend on timely cash flow from government contracts.

Late government payments can threaten the financial viability of small businesses and contractors across Hawaii. Business owners and trade associations can engage with the task force to report payment problems and advocate for stronger prompt payment enforcement.
