§ 672. Mutual aid agreements for coroners' services. 1. Two or more

counties are authorized to enter into written mutual aid agreements for

the provision of services provided by the county coroner's office or

office of the medical examiner in such counties. Each county shall be

liable for acts or omissions of its employees or agents when acting

pursuant to such an agreement in the same manner and to the same extent

as if such acts or omissions occurred within the county; and such

employees or agents shall have immunities and privileges for their acts

or omissions when acting pursuant to such an agreement in the same

manner and to the same extent as if such acts or omissions occurred

within the county.

2. Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter the liability

of any county that enters into a mutual aid agreement pursuant to this

section to a third party claimant for any cause of action that arises

out of such agreement or the joint and several liability of any county

that enters into a mutual aid agreement pursuant to this section.
