1    defect. If one or more items on a construction related bill
2    or invoice are disapproved, but not the entire bill or

5        (2) Where a State official or agency is late in payment
6    of a vendor's bill or invoice properly approved in
7    accordance with this Act, and different late payment terms
8    are not reduced to writing as a contractual agreement, the
9    State official or agency shall automatically pay interest
10    penalties required by this Section amounting to $50 or more

14    paragraph (4), an individual interest payment amounting to
15    $5 or less shall not be paid by the State. Interest due to

19    which time the accrued interest shall be payable and
20    interest will begin accruing again, except that interest
21    accrued as of the end of the fiscal year that does not
22    exceed $50 shall be payable at that time. In the event an
23    individual has paid a vendor for services in advance, the
24    provisions of this Section shall apply until payment is
25    made to that individual.
