Requiring that certain contractual provisions be incorporated in all contracts for certain cities and counties, including the provisions of form DA-146a, with certain exceptions.

HB 2116 requires cities of the second or third class and counties with under 35,000 residents to include specific contract terms from the state’s DA-146a form in all new contracts. Key provisions include banning cities/counties from agreeing to indemnify others for their own actions (Section 2) and mandating that all contracts follow Kansas law and courts (Section 3). While local governments can waive most DA-146a terms with a majority vote, they cannot omit Sections 2 and 3. This bill directly affects how smaller local governments draft contracts, ensuring standardized terms and limiting liability exposure.
