Section 701.157 - Satisfaction of order against commercial contractor.

(A) Board orders as a result of complaints against a commercial contractor by a person furnishing labor to a contractor or owed employee benefits by a contractor have payment priority to the full extent of the bond over all other types of complaints.
(B) If the complaints described in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph do not exhaust the bond, then amounts due as a result of all other types of small commercial or large commercial structure complaints may be satisfied from the bond, except complaints for costs, interest and attorney fees.
(C) If complaints described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph do not exhaust the bond, then complaints for costs, interest and attorney fees resulting from small commercial or large commercial structure complaints may be satisfied from the bond.
(b) A 90-day period begins on the date the first complaint is filed with the board. Subsequent 90-day periods begin on the date the first complaint is filed with the board after the close of the preceding 90-day period.
(2) If the total complaints filed with the board against a commercial contractor within 90 days after the board receives notice of the first complaint against the contractor exceed the amount of the bond available for those complaints, the bond shall be apportioned as the board determines, subject to the priorities established under this section.
(3) If the total amounts due as a result of complaints filed with the board within 90 days after the first complaint is filed do not exceed the amount of the bond available for those complaints, all amounts due as a result of complaints filed within the 90-day period shall have priority over all complaints subsequently filed until the amount of the bond available for the payment of complaints is exhausted.
