A bill for an act relating to state grounds and contracts, including by providing for required and prohibited contract terms and regulating events on the capitol complex, and including applicability provisions.

HF 952 regulates state purchasing contracts by specifying terms that are prohibited, such as those requiring the state to indemnify vendors, accept unknown vendor terms, or be governed by foreign laws. It also mandates that all state agency contracts include provisions for Iowa law to govern and for any litigation to occur in Iowa courts. Additionally, the bill amends rules for events held on the capitol complex grounds, limiting them to six per year per person and requiring a recommendation from an elected official or a state senator and representative. These provisions apply to contracts entered into or renewed after the bill's effective date.
