§ 75546 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 have to pay for it themselves—unless they did something dishonest or illegal.
  • •Each person on the commission is only responsible for their own actions, not what others do.

Example

A worker at the commission accidentally approves the wrong payment to a farmer.

The worker won’t have to pay back the money from their own pocket, and the state won’t cover it either. The mistake is only fixed if the commission has the money to do so.

§ 75546 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, alternate member, employee, or agent of the commission is personally liable for the contracts of the commission nor is any such person responsible individually in any way to any producer or any other person for errors in judgment, mistakes, or other acts, either of commission or omission, as a principal, agent, or employee, except for his or her own individual acts of dishonesty or crime. No member, alternate member, employee, or agent of the commission, is responsible individually for any act or omission of any other member, alternate member, employee, or agent of the commission. Liability is several and not joint, and no member, alternate member, employee, or agent of the commission is liable for the default of any other member, alternate member, employee, or agent of the commission. (Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1076, Sec. 2.)
