Miller Act

The Miller Act was enacted by Congress in 1935. This law replaced the Heard Act of 1894 which required contractors to obtain surety bonds on public works. The Miller Act requires federal government to require performance and payment bonds on its construction projects and extends the payment bond's protection to certain subcontractors and suppliers. Most public bodies such as states, cities, and municipalities follow a bonding requirement similar to the Miller Act (called "the little Miller Act").
