SB262

Require construction contracts note variation from standard form

Final Passage·6/3/26

Ohio SB262 mandates clear notation of any changes to standard construction contract forms.

Ohio SB262 amends the Revised Code to require public authorities to clearly indicate any alterations to standard construction contract forms. If a contract form is altered, the changes must be noted by striking through and underlining the modified text or by cross-referencing supplemental conditions. Failure to properly indicate changes renders the alteration void, with the original language prevailing. The bill also outlines procedures for selecting construction managers at risk and design-build firms, including evaluation of pricing proposals and negotiation of contracts.
