Summary

The bill removes the usual restrictions on what can be included in state contracts for agreements entered into by the Office of International Trade in the Department of Commerce. It permits those contracts to contain clauses—such as indemnification, arbitration, venue selection, and liability limits—that are prohibited for other state contracts. The change is intended to give the Office greater flexibility in developing international business opportunities.
