This bill amends the existing law regarding indemnification agreements between architects, engineers, surveyors, and various parties involved in construction contracts. The title of the act is updated to include "indemnification agreements relating to construction contracts," while removing references to snow removal or ice control services. The bill introduces new provisions that declare certain terms in construction contracts void and unenforceable, specifically those that indemnify a party for damages resulting from their own negligence. It defines "construction contract" and "party" to clarify the scope of the law.

Additionally, the bill establishes guidelines for insurance coverage for additional insureds in construction contracts. It stipulates that if an additional insured is added to a general liability insurance policy before any loss occurs, the coverage must not exceed what is required by the construction contract. The bill also defines "additional insured" and reiterates the definition of "construction contract" for consistency. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
