Legislative History

(1971, P.A. 466, S. 15; P.A. 97-125, S. 7, 9.) History: Sec. 38-287 transferred to Sec. 38a-850 in 1991; P.A. 97-125 extended “no liability” provision to any person serving as an alternate or substitute representative of any director, and to any failure to act, effective July 1, 1997. Sanctions imposed by workers' compensation commissioner that obligated association to pay an amount of money constitute a “liability” under section, and section therefore affords association immunity from those sanctions. 298 C. 620.
