Bill Summary
For legislation relative to snow removal service liability limitation,- reports the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2314).
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws in Massachusetts by inserting a new section, Section 29C1/2, which addresses liability limitations in snow removal and ice control services contracts. The key provisions of the bill are:
1) It defines important terms, including "service provider" (the person providing the snow removal and ice control services), "service receiver" (the person receiving the services), and "snow removal and ice control services contract" (the contract for services like plowing, shoveling, de-icing, etc.).
2) It declares that any provision in a snow removal and ice control services contract that requires the service provider to indemnify the service receiver, or the service receiver to indemnify the service provider, for damages resulting from their own negligence or the negligence of their agents/employees, is against public policy and void. This effectively limits liability for both parties under such contracts.
