Bill overview
This bill restricts home improvement and home elevation contractors in New Jersey from including full indemnification clauses in their contracts with subcontractors. It amends existing law to prohibit contractors from requiring subcontractors to cover defects or poor workmanship beyond 50% of the liability. The bill also requires contractors to certify this restriction in written contracts for projects costing over $500. It aims to protect homeowners from potentially unlimited financial responsibility for contractor errors.
