SB342

Prohibit certain clauses from conservancy district contracts

Chamber Passed·6/10/26

Ohio SB342 prohibits certain clauses in contracts for conservancy district procurement of goods or services.

Ohio SB342 amends the Revised Code to prohibit conservancy districts from entering into contracts that include specific clauses. These include provisions that limit the district's ability to recover costs for a replacement contractor, impose indemnification obligations, require the district to be bound by unknown terms, or limit liability for direct losses. Contracts containing these clauses are void, but otherwise enforceable. The bill aims to protect conservancy districts from unfair contractual terms.
