Design Professional Contracts

Summary

The bill creates a new statute that makes any contract with a licensed architect, engineer, surveyor, landscape architect, geologist, or interior designer void if it forces the professional to indemnify, defend, or add insurers beyond what their professional liability policy covers, or imposes a different standard of care. It sets a default standard of care and permits limited insurance and fee reimbursement provisions. The measure aims to protect design professionals from overly broad liability clauses.
