standing
in
Senate
File

any
case
or
contested
action
related
to
the
account
or
a
tank
to
assert
any
claim
that
the
department
may
have
regarding
the
tank
at
issue
in
the
case
or
contested
action.
Upon
motion
and
sufficient
showing
by
a
party
to
a
cost
recovery
or
subrogation
action
provided
for
under
this
section,
the
court
or
the
administrative
law
judge
shall
join
to
the
action
any
potentially
responsible
party
who
may
be
liable
for
costs
and
expenditures
of
the
type
recoverable
pursuant
to
this
section.
6.
Third-party
contracts.
An
insurance,
indemnification,
hold-harmless,
conveyance,
or
similar
risk-sharing
or
risk-shifting
agreement
shall
not
be
effective
to
transfer
any
liability
for
costs
recoverable
under
this
section.
The
department
may
proceed
directly
against
the
owner,
operator,
or
other
potentially
responsible
party.
This
subsection
does
not
bar
any
agreement
to
insure,
hold
harmless,
or
indemnify
a
party
to
the
agreement
for
any
costs
or
expenditures
under
this
part
8
of
subchapter
IV,
and
does
not
modify
rights
between
the
parties
to
an
agreement,

to
the
extent
the
agreement
shifts
liability
to
an
owner
or
operator
eligible
for
assistance
under
the
program
for
any
damages
or
other
costs
in
connection
with
a
corrective
action
for
which
another
potentially
responsible
party
is
or
may
be
liable.
Any
such
provision
is
void
and
of
no
further
force
and
effect.
7.
Later
proceedings
permitted
against
other
parties.
The
entry
of
judgment
against
a
party
to
the
action
does
not
bar
a
future
action
by
the
department
against
another
person
who
is
later
alleged
to
be
or
discovered
to
be
liable
for
costs
and
expenditures
paid
from
the
account.
Notwithstanding
section
668.5,
a
potentially
responsible
party
shall
not
seek
contribution
or
any
other
recovery
from
an
owner
or
operator
eligible
for
assistance
under
the
program
for
damages
or
other
costs
in
connection
with
corrective
action
for
a
release
for
which
the
potentially
responsible
party
is
or
may
be
liable.
Subsequent
successful
proceedings
against
another
party
shall
not
modify
or
reduce
the
liability
of
a
party
against
whom
judgment
has
been
previously
entered.

not
