§ 74877 Commission Liability Limitations

Key Takeaways

  • •The state won't pay for mistakes made by the commission or its contracts.
  • •If someone on the commission makes a mistake, they usually won't be personally responsible 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 commission member accidentally approves a bad contract that loses money.

The state won't cover the loss, and the member won't have to pay for it unless they did something dishonest.

Liability is several and not joint, and no member, alternate member, or any employee or agent of the commission is liable individually for the default, act, or omission of any other member, alternate member, or any employee or agent of the commission.
