Florida S0888 regulates professional services contracts by limiting indemnification and defining professional standards.

Florida S0888 amends the state statutes to modify professional services contracts. It prohibits contracts from exempting design professionals from liability for negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. The bill mandates that design professionals perform services with the standard of care expected from competent professionals. It also voids any contract provisions that require design professionals to list the contracting party as an additional insured on their liability insurance policy. The changes apply to contracts entered into after July 1, 2026.
