Summary

The bill changes when the clock starts and how long a plaintiff has to sue over defects in a building or other improvement. It sets a four‑year period from the improvement’s completion (or related trigger dates) and a hard seven‑year deadline, with special rules for latent defects, model homes, and multiple‑building projects. The changes would affect architects, engineers, contractors, designers and property owners.
