This bill requires that the statute of repose—a legal deadline for filing construction defect lawsuits—applies equally to claims brought by the state or local government as it does to claims by private citizens. The change means government entities can no longer use special rules to file construction lawsuits after the standard deadline that would apply to a private homeowner or business.
