MI HB4880

Revises indemnification provisions in construction contracts to clarify that landscape architects authorized to do business in Michigan (rather than only Michigan-licensed landscape architects) are included in protections against excessive liability requirements

Prohibits public entities from requiring architects, engineers, surveyors, landscape architects, or contractors to assume liability or indemnify beyond their actual degree of fault in design and construction contracts

Maintains that contract provisions requiring indemnification for damages caused by the sole negligence of the promisee remain void and unenforceable as against public policy

Updates statutory language throughout to modernize references (replacing "thereof" with "of this state," "his" with gender-neutral terms, etc.)

Takes effect only if House Bill No. 4879 is also enacted into law
