Implications of New State Law on Indemnification

As I noted in a previous blog posting, the Washington State Legislature adopted EHB 1559 in 2012 that changes indemnification requirements on architectural and engineering contracts.  The new law will require different indemnification language in contract of public agencies

MRSC article:  The Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) has published an article entitled "New Indemnification Language for A/E Contracts" by John W. Carpita.  The article includes:
  • A summary of the new law
  • An analysis of the new law by Kevin J. Yamamoto, City Attorney for Puyallup
  • Recommended contract language provided by Eric Larson, Deputy Director of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority
