An Act amending Title 67 (Public Welfare) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in miscellaneous provisions, providing for waiver of subrogation.
This bill prohibits Pennsylvania county agencies and municipal governments from including clauses in service contracts that waive their right to seek reimbursement from insurance companies for liability claims. It directly affects government entities that hire external service providers regulated under state child and family services rules. By declaring such waiver clauses unenforceable, the legislation ensures that insurance carriers retain the ability to recover costs from the government if a service provider causes a liability issue. The changes apply to any service contracts entered into or renewed after the law takes effect 60 days from its passage.
