<a id="pl.2.3"></a><var>2.3</var>billing within 30 days following receipt of the invoice, merchandise, or service whichever <br/>
<a id="pl.2.4"></a><var>2.4</var>is later. A negotiated contract or agreement between a vendor and a state agency which <br/>
<a id="pl.2.5"></a><var>2.5</var>requires an audit by the state agency prior to acceptance and payment of the vendor's <br/>
<a id="pl.2.6"></a><var>2.6</var>invoice shall not be considered past due until 30 days after the completion of the audit by <br/>

<a id="pl.2.9"></a><var>2.9</var>engineer's estimate or a payment application approved by an architect, an invoice includes <br/>
<a id="pl.2.10"></a><var>2.10</var>an engineer's estimate or a payment application, as applicable, if made in regular intervals <br/>
<a id="pl.2.11"></a><var>2.11</var>that are: (1) as specified in the contract, and (2) no less frequent than once per month.<br/>

<a id="pl.2.14"></a><var>2.14</var>(c) All interest penalties and collection costs must be paid from the agency's current <br/>
<a id="pl.2.15"></a><var>2.15</var>operating budget. No agency may seek to increase its appropriation for the purpose of <br/>
<a id="pl.2.16"></a><var>2.16</var>obtaining funds to pay interest penalties or collection costs.<br/>
<a id="pl.2.17"></a><var>2.17</var>(d) Any vendor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from a state <br/>
<a id="pl.2.18"></a><var>2.18</var>agency shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred <br/>
<a id="pl.2.19"></a><var>2.19</var>in bringing the actions.<br/>

<a id="pl.2.21"></a><var>2.21</var>due to a disagreement with the vendor; provided, that the dispute must be settled within 30 <br/>
<a id="pl.2.22"></a><var>2.22</var>days after the bill became overdue. Upon the resolution of the dispute, the agency must <br/>
<a id="pl.2.23"></a><var>2.23</var>pay the vendor accrued interest on all proper invoices for which payment was not received <br/>
<a id="pl.2.24"></a><var>2.24</var>within the applicable time limit contained in subdivision 3. No interest penalties accrue <br/>
<a id="pl.2.25"></a><var>2.25</var>under this section against an agency for claims made by a contractor under a construction <br/>
<a id="pl.2.26"></a><var>2.26</var>contract.<br/>

<a id="pl.2.29"></a><var>2.29</var>$10. For unpaid balances of less than $100, the state agency shall pay the actual penalty <br/>
