CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS – Amends existing law to provide for certain construction contracts to be subject to Idaho law and that such contracts shall not require dispute resolution in another jurisdiction.

S 1006 amends Idaho law to require all construction contracts for private improvements within Idaho to be governed by Idaho law. It specifically prohibits contracts from mandating that disputes be resolved in another state or country.
