A bill for an act relating to contracts entered into by state agencies and including applicability provisions.

This bill bans 19 specific terms from contracts entered by Iowa state agencies (including departments of administrative services and management, and other agencies), such as provisions requiring the state to pay attorney fees, waive jury trials, or use foreign law. It mandates that all state agency contracts must include two required terms: governed by Iowa law and litigation resolved in Polk County or Southern District of Iowa courts. The bill voids any contract containing prohibited terms and applies to all contracts entered or renewed after its effective date. It directly affects state agencies and their vendors by standardizing contract terms to protect public interests and reduce legal risks.
