Why does your website inidcate that there is no state law in Massachusets that limits retainage on private jobs?

MassachusettsRetainage

Hi all, Your very useful database of retainage limits for all 50 states indicates there is no limit by state law in Massachusetts for private jobs. On the other hand, we have known that since 2014 Massachusetts, via Senate Bill 2271 has limited retainage to 5% on private projects over $3MM. I can’t find any info indicating the law was repealed or changed. I tried contacting your customer service folks but got a "not my job" response that directed me here. You may want to look into it. I'd be curious why the website lists retainage in Massachusetts the way it does.
