Limits home improvement contractor from entering into contract with full indemnification provision.
This bill prohibits home improvement contractors from requiring subcontractors to cover 100% of liability for defects or poor workmanship in contracts. It limits such liability clauses to a maximum of 50% indemnification. Contractors must certify in writing (for contracts over $500) that they will not seek full indemnification from subcontractors. The law directly affects contractors and subcontractors in home improvement projects, ensuring homeowners are not left fully responsible for contractor or subcontractor errors. It amends existing law to clarify that contractors cannot shift all financial risk to subcontractors for work quality issues.
