Text

(a) Obligations incurred by the council and
other liabilities and claims against the council may be enforced only
against the assets of the council in the same manner as if the council
were a corporation. Liabilities for the debts or actions of the council
may not arise against:
(1) the state;
(2) a political subdivision (as defined in IC 34-6-2.1-155); or
(3) a member, an officer, an employee, or an agent of the council
in an individual capacity.
(b) The members and employees of the council may not be held
responsible individually in any way to any person for errors in
judgment, mistakes, or other acts either of commission or omission, as
principal, agent, or employee, except for their own individual acts that
result in the violation of any law.
(c) An employee of the council may not be held responsible
individually for the act or omission of any member of the council.
(d) Any liability of the members of the council is several and not
joint. A member of the council may not be held liable for the default of
any other member.
