What the source says

Some states, including Connecticut, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, require retainage for certain state-funded public projects to be held in interest-bearing escrow accounts, providing additional security for contractors. This requirement does not typically extend to private projects, although some states, such as Tennessee and Louisiana, do mandate interest-bearing escrow accounts for private construction retainage.
