Ohio Rev. Code § 2744.11: Assumption of liability in shared equipment service agreements.

If a shared equipment service agreement is entered into by a contracting lender state agency or political subdivision to lend its capital equipment to a contracting recipient political subdivision for the temporary use by the recipient political subdivision in the performance of a governmental or proprietary function, the agreement may provide that the recipient political subdivision and its officers and employees, as the case may be, assume any potential liability under this chapter in a civil action for damages for injury, death, or loss to person or property allegedly caused by an act or omission of the recipient political subdivision or its officers or employees resulting from the use of the equipment in the performance of the recipient political subdivision's governmental or proprietary functions. This chapter applies insofar as the recipient political subdivision under the agreement or any of its officers or employees is engaged in the use of the equipment covered by the agreement in the performance of a governmental or proprietary function.
