This bill amends the existing act from July 9, 1970, which pertains to indemnification agreements involving architects, engineers, surveyors, and various contractors. The title of the act is updated to reflect the inclusion of indemnification agreements related to construction contracts, specifically those for architectural, engineering, or land surveying services. The previous reference to indemnification agreements concerning snow removal or ice control services has been removed.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that declare any indemnification clauses in construction contracts, which protect a party from liability for damages resulting from their own negligence, as void and unenforceable against public policy. It also defines "construction contract" to encompass a wide range of agreements related to the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and structures. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
