Require construction contracts note variation from standard form

Clearer contract changes for Ohio construction firms

Ohio public authorities and covered construction firms must clearly identify changes to covered standard contracts and subcontracts. This includes standard forms prescribed under Ohio Facilities Construction Commission rules. They must cross out deletions and underline additions with references to supplemental conditions, or link supplemental conditions to changed sections. Changes not identified as required are void, and the original wording controls. The covered amendments apply to contracts entered into on or after the section’s effective date, not contracts already in effect.
