An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to civil actions and proceedings, providing for indemnification.

Pennsylvania House Bill 2726 adds a new section to the state's civil procedure laws that prohibits specific types of indemnification clauses in contracts. The bill declares any contract term void and unenforceable if it requires one party to cover claims, damages, or expenses resulting from their own negligence, strict liability, or intentional wrongdoing. This change directly affects individuals and businesses by limiting their ability to shift financial responsibility for their own misconduct to other parties through contractual agreements. The provision applies only to contracts entered into on or after the bill's effective date, which is set at 60 days after enactment.
