What this law does
A public school contract is any agreement between a public school contracting entity and a contractor whose principal purpose is to acquire supplies, services, or construction, or to dispose of supplies, for the direct benefit of or in support of a public school, other than an agreement for professional services.
A public school contracting entity includes a school district and, to the extent authorized by law, a public school, an administrative unit, a participating provider, or any other entity authorized to contract for the direct benefit of or support of a public school.
A public school contract must include provisions, and is deemed to include them if they are omitted, that require the contractor to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations, including the accessibility standards for an individual with a disability that the Office of Information Technology adopted under section 24-85-103.
The contract must also include, and is deemed to include, a provision requiring the contractor to indemnify, hold harmless, and assume liability on behalf of the public school contracting entity, the public school, and the public school's employees and agents for all costs, expenses, claims, damages, liabilities, court awards, attorney fees and related costs, and any other amounts a school district incurs in relation to the contractor's noncompliance with those standards.
A public school contracting entity may require that the contractor's compliance with those standards be determined and attested to by a qualified third party that it selects.
