(b) An agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the state, its officers, and employees, from any loss resulting from the issuance of the replacement warrant.

No indemnity agreement shall be required: (1) when the payee is the United States Government, a state of the United States, any agency, instrumentality or officer of the United States Government or of a state, or any county, city, city and county, town, district, or other political subdivision of a state, or any officer thereof; or (2) when the owner or custodian is the State of California or any agency or officer thereof.
