2004 US Code
Title 41 - PUBLIC CONTRACTS
CHAPTER 7 - OFFICE OF FEDERAL PROCUREMENT POLICY
Sec. 436 - Protection of constitutional rights of contractors

A contractor may not be required, as a condition for entering into a contract with the Federal Government, to waive any right under the Constitution for any purpose related to Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1997 [22 U.S.C. 6701 et seq.] or the Chemical Weapons Convention (as defined in section 3 of such Act [22 U.S.C. 6701]).

Nothing in subsection (a) of this section shall be construed to prohibit an executive agency from including in a contract a clause that requires the contractor to permit inspections for the purpose of ensuring that the contractor is performing the contract in accordance with the provisions of the contract.

(Pub. L. 93–400, §40, formerly §39, as added Pub. L. 105–277, div. I, title III, §308(a), Oct. 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 2681–879; renumbered §40, Pub. L. 108–136, div. A, title XIV, §1431(d)(2), Nov. 24, 2003, 117 Stat. 1672.)

The Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1997, referred to in subsec. (a), probably means the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998, which is div. I of Pub. L. 105–277, Oct. 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 2681–856, and is classified principally to chapter 75 (§6701 et seq.) of Title 22, Foreign Relations and Intercourse. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 6701 of Title 22 and Tables.
