Construction contracts-indemnity provisions.
HB 94 prevents construction contracts in Wyoming from including clauses that require one party to cover the other for the contractor's own negligence or intentional mistakes. It allows contracts to require specific insurance (like project protection coverage) but voids provisions shifting liability for the contractor's own actions. This affects contractors and property owners signing construction agreements, making certain liability clauses unenforceable. The law took effect July 1, 2019, for new or renewed contracts.
