Oregon’s New Labor Payment Law Gets a Closer Look — Free Webinar Set for August 20

If SB 426 has been sitting on your “figure this out eventually” list, eventually just got a deadline.

Miller Nash LLP is hosting a free webinar on August 20 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. PT breaking down Oregon’s newly passed Senate Bill 426 and what it means for owners and contractors managing labor payment obligations on construction projects. The session is part of the firm’s ongoing Construction Series and is aimed squarely at the question contractors have been asking since the bill passed: whether owners and contractors could end up paying twice for the same labor under the new law’s provisions.

SB 426 sits alongside HB 4089 and HB 4012 as part of Oregon’s broader legislative push this year to tighten enforcement around labor practices on construction projects — a framework NW Construction News has tracked as one of the defining regulatory stories of 2026 for Oregon contractors. Unlike some of the compliance deadlines that have already passed, this webinar gives contractors a chance to get ahead of implementation questions before they show up on a jobsite or in a dispute.

Why this matters for contractors: Labor payment law changes are exactly the kind of regulatory shift that looks abstract until a payroll dispute or subcontractor claim makes it concrete. An hour on a free webinar is a low-cost way to understand exposure before it becomes a legal bill.

The details: August 20, 8:30–9:30 a.m. PT, hosted by Miller Nash LLP. Registration is free.
