N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1745: Limited liability

§ 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

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

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.
