(a) To receive federal aid, assistance, support, benefits, services, and interests in or rights to use federal property, a state agency may agree in writing to an indemnity provision by which the State agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless a United States agency, its officers, agents, and employees when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) Federal law expressly or by clear implication requires the indemnity provision;

(2) The governor, following a favorable review by the department of the attorney general, approves the State's proposed indemnification; and
