Requiring public construction contracts to include a mutual waiver of consequential damages.

Summary

The bill obligates every construction contract between a Kansas public entity and a contractor to include a mutual waiver of consequential damages, covering losses such as rental costs, lost profit, financing, reputation and related expenses for both sides. It leaves intact any liquidated‑damage or direct‑damage claims that the contract otherwise provides for, and any contract language that conflicts with the waiver is overridden. The change standardizes how risk for indirect losses is handled in public construction projects.
