MO SB448

Parties to public or private construction contracts must be responsible for liability arising from their own negligence, wrongdoing, or recklessness and cannot transfer that responsibility to another party

Contract provisions requiring one party to indemnify, defend, insure, or hold harmless another party from that other party's own negligence, wrongdoing, or recklessness are void and unenforceable

Adds "recklessness" as a new standard alongside negligence and wrongdoing throughout the statute

Expands the definition of "construction work" to explicitly include public and private real property, streets, roads, shafts, wells, water/sewer systems, and gas distribution systems

Removes the previous exception that allowed indemnity agreements when the indemnifying party was required to obtain specified insurance limits and could recover the cost in their contract price
