Liability of asbestos consultants; indemnification and hold-harmless agreements.
—State agencies or political subdivisions may agree to hold harmless and indemnify an asbestos consultant who has a written contract with the state or a political subdivision for any civil damages to third parties:
That result from the acts or omissions of the asbestos consultant in carrying out the contract; and
That are caused by a discharge or release of asbestos or hazardous substance, pollutant, or other contaminant from a site upon which the asbestos abatement is being carried out.
State agencies or political subdivisions, in determining whether or not to enter into hold-harmless and indemnification agreements, shall consider:

The need for the asbestos abatement; and
The availability of qualified asbestos consultants.
