AN ACT TO REQUIRE APPROVAL FROM THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY BEFORE STATE AGENCIES MAY ENTER INTO INDEMNITY AGREEMENTS. 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  Article 8 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 143-133.1.  Approval required for indemnity agreements.
No State agency shall agree to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless another party from claims, demands, causes of action, suits, judgments, or other liability, including expenses and attorneys' fees, for any death or injuries to persons, for loss or damage to property, or for liability arising from the use of real property unless the General Assembly has enacted legislation specifically authorizing the indemnification provisions.
Nothing in this section shall apply to bonds issued by this State."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to agreements entered into on or after that date.
