Prohibit certain clauses from conservancy district contracts

Chamber Passed·6/9/26

Ohio HB603 prohibits conservancy districts from including certain clauses in contracts for goods or services.

Ohio HB603 amends the Revised Code to restrict conservancy districts from using specific clauses in contracts for goods or services. These clauses include indemnification, venue selection outside the state, liability limits for negligence or misconduct, undisclosed terms, and conditions inconsistent with certain state obligations. Contracts containing these clauses are void from the start but remain enforceable otherwise.
