Sec. 6. (a) Appropriations to support the operations of the survey shall be made to Indiana University by separate line item.
(b) Indiana University is not responsible for the expenses and cost of operating and maintaining the survey except to the extent that the appropriations and the income generated by contracts and other operations of the survey are sufficient. If at any time the board of trustees of Indiana University determines that it is no longer feasible for the survey to be a part of Indiana University, the director of the department of natural resources and the governor shall be advised as promptly as possible so that the state may make other arrangements to fulfill the mission of the survey.
(c) The state, and not Indiana University or the department of natural resources, shall defend against and be liable to satisfy claims against the survey arising from the performance by the survey of the powers and duties set forth in section 3 of this chapter.
