Legal Question in Business Law in Kansas

Re: The Miller Claim Act (40 USCA 270)

Yes. The Miller Act gives suppliers of labor or materials right to sue on a prime contractor's bond if payment for labor or materials is not made. This Act basically represents a congressional effort to protect persons supplying labor and material for the construction of federal buildings in lieu of the protection they might receive under state statutes with respect to construction of non-federal buildings, with the essence of its policy being to provide a surety who must make good the obligations of a defaulting contractor to his suppliers of labor and material.
