§2195. Prohibited provisions
A. It is hereby declared that any provision contained in a public contract, other than a provision naming another as a co-insured or additional beneficiary in a contract of insurance, which requires a public entity to assume liability for damages arising out of injuries or property damage to the contracting parties or to third parties caused by the negligence of anyone other than the public body, its employees, or agents, is contrary to the public policy of the state of Louisiana. Any and all such provisions in any and all public contracts issued on or after October 1, 1988, are null and void.
B. The provisions of this Section shall be inapplicable with respect to intrastate intergovernmental contracts and to contracts with private providers for the placement and care of persons in the custody of the state.
C. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to contracts between any public entity and the owner of immovable property when the purpose of such contract is to grant the public entity a servitude, right of way, or other authority to go upon, construct works, perform activities, or otherwise exercise control over or use the owner's property.
