§ 18620 Nonprofit Association Liability Rules
This law says that people who run or work for a nonprofit can be personally responsible if they cause harm, agree to be responsible, or are already liable under another law.
A nonprofit holds a fundraiser in a park. One of the directors signs a contract with a food vendor, and the vendor’s grill causes a fire that hurts a visitor.
Because the director signed the contract and the fire happened because of that decision, the director can be held personally liable for the visitor’s injuries under this law.
