House Bill 1999 amends the Government Code to set out provisions relating to a claim asserted by a governmental entity against a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or design professional for damages arising from damage to or loss of real or personal property caused by an alleged construction defect in an improvement to real property that is a public building or public work or for indemnity or contribution for such damages. Among other provisions, the bill requires a governmental entity to provide certain parties with a report and an opportunity to inspect and correct any construction defect or related condition before bringing an action asserting such a claim and provides for the dismissal of an action brought by a governmental entity that does not comply with these requirements.
