6-806. EFFECT OF RELEASE OF ONE TORTFEASOR ON HIS LIABILITY FOR CONTRIBUTION TO OTHERS — LIMITS ON APPLICATION OF SECTION. A release by the injured person of one (1) joint tortfeasor does not relieve him from liability to make contribution to another joint tortfeasor unless the release is given before the right of the other tortfeasor to secure a money judgment for contribution has accrued, and provides for a reduction, to the extent of the pro rata share of the released tortfeasor, of the injured person’s damages recoverable against all the other tortfeasors. This section shall apply only if the issue of proportionate fault is litigated between joint tortfeasors in the same action.
