What’s in it
AI summary State agencies and certain technology groups are no longer allowed to include specific rules in their contracts with outside companies. If these rules are included, they will be considered invalid. Additionally, all state vendor contracts must now state that Iowa law applies and that any legal battles must take place in courts located in Polk County or Des Moines.1
