Occupations: landscape architects; references to landscape architect professionals in 1966 PA 165; revise. Amends sec. 1 of 1966 PA 165 (MCL 691.991).

HB 4880 amends Michigan's 1966 law on construction contracts to prevent public entities (like cities, counties, and school districts) from requiring licensed landscape architects, architects, engineers, or contractors to cover the public entity’s own negligence. The bill makes it void for public contracts to force these professionals to pay for damages caused solely by the public entity’s mistakes. Instead, liability must align with each party’s share of fault, ensuring fairer risk distribution. This directly affects licensed professionals working on public infrastructure projects such as roads, schools, and water systems.
