Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the judgment in the action is not binding or conclusive on the following:
(a) The state, unless individually joined as a party to the action.
(b) The United States, unless the United States is individually joined as a party to the action and federal law authorizes judgment in the action to be binding or conclusive as to its interests.

Exempts the state and the United States from being bound or conclusively affected by a judgment unless each is individually joined as a party. For the United States, joinder alone is insufficient; federal law must also authorize the judgment to be binding or conclusive as to federal interests.
