§ 77555 Commission Liability Limitations

Key Takeaways

  • •The state won't pay for mistakes made by the commission or its contracts.
  • •If someone on the commission or working for them makes a mistake, they usually can't be personally sued unless they did something dishonest or illegal.
  • •Each person is only responsible for their own actions, not for what others on the commission do.

Example

A worker for the commission accidentally approves a wrong payment to someone.

The worker can't be personally sued for this mistake unless they did it on purpose or broke the law. The state also won't pay for this mistake unless there's money collected by the commission to cover it.

§ 77555 Commission Liability Limitations

The state is not liable for the acts of the commission or its contracts. Payments of all claims arising by reason of the administration of this chapter or acts of the commission are limited to the funds collected by the commission. No member of the commission, alternate member, or any employee or agent thereof, is personally liable for the contracts of the commission. No member of the commission, alternate member, or any employee or agent thereof, is responsible individually in any way to any other person for errors in judgment, mistakes, or other acts, either of commission or of omission, as principal, agent, or employee, except for his or her own individual acts of dishonesty or crime. No member of the commission, alternate member, or any employee or agent thereof, is responsible individually for any act or omission of any other member of the commission, alternate member, or any employee or agent thereof. Liability is several and not joint, and no member of the commission, alternate member, or any employee or agent thereof, is liable for the default of any other member of the commission, alternate member, or any employee or agent thereof. (Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 550, Sec. 1. Effective August 27, 1990.)
