KS HB2116

Requires contracts entered into by second or third class cities and counties with populations under 35,000 to contain mandatory provisions from Kansas Department of Administration form DA-146a

Contracts entered into after July 1, 2025 are automatically deemed to incorporate DA-146a provisions even if not explicitly included in the contract language

Governing bodies may omit DA-146a provisions by majority recorded vote, except for indemnification and choice-of-law requirements which cannot be waived

Prohibits covered cities and counties from agreeing to indemnify other parties for damages, injuries, or deaths resulting from those parties' actions or inactions

Mandates all contracts be governed by Kansas law and requires disputes be heard only in Kansas courts; contract provisions violating these requirements are void and unenforceable
