The bill proposes the enactment of section 6101.162 of the Revised Code, which aims to regulate contracts entered into by conservancy districts for the procurement of goods or services. Specifically, it prohibits these contracts from including certain provisions that could impose undue liability or obligations on the conservancy district. The prohibited provisions include indemnification clauses, venue selection clauses that do not comply with state jurisdiction, limitations on liability for negligence or misconduct, unknown terms that could be unilaterally changed, inconsistencies with public records obligations, and restrictions on recovering costs for replacement contractors.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if any contract contains a prohibited term or condition as outlined in the new section, that specific term or condition will be considered void from the outset, while the remainder of the contract remains enforceable. This legislative measure is designed to protect conservancy districts from potentially harmful contractual obligations and ensure that their procurement processes are fair and transparent.
