This important piece of legislation will prohibit certain indemnification agreements in construction contracts.  This legislation would ensure that all construction-related businesses would not be held responsible for risk outside their control. 

Currently, Pennsylvania does not have an anti-indemnity statute regarding construction contracts. The result is the common practice of general contractors forcing subcontractors to except liability for the general's negligence. This legislation makes those types of indemnification provisions unenforceable.  

Forty-five states, including neighboring New York, Delaware, and Ohio have enacted anti-indemnity statutes that limit the enforceability of various forms of indemnity clauses in construction contracts.
