S.222

Contracts/Choice of Law & Forum

Introduced·3/3/25

North Carolina S222 prohibits choice of law and forum selection provisions in government contracts.

North Carolina S222 amends the state's General Statutes to redefine "business contract" and explicitly include "government contract." This change ensures that choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to government contracts. The act is effective immediately upon becoming law and applies to contracts entered into, renewed, or amended after its enactment.
