Codify the Spearin doctrine in public construction contracts

HB 605 would formally include the Spearin doctrine in Ohio law for public construction projects. This means if a government agency provides inaccurate or incomplete plans or specifications, it becomes responsible for any resulting construction problems, not the contractor. The bill directly affects public contractors working on state or local government projects and government entities that create project plans. It establishes a clear legal standard to shift liability for issues caused by faulty government-provided plans.
