§ 1745. Limited liability. Neither the members of the board nor any
officers or employee of the authority acting on behalf thereof, while
acting within the scope of such person's authority, shall be subject to
any liability resulting from carrying out any of the powers expressly
given in this title. A trustee, officer or employee of the authority
shall be deemed an "employee" for the purposes of section fifty-k of the
general municipal law, provided, however, that any trustee appointed by
the governor or any employee of the state shall be deemed an "employee"
for the purposes of section eighteen of the public officers law for any
actions relating to their activities as a trustee of the authority
created by this title.
