§ 2799-www. Limited liability. Neither members, officers or employees

of the authority, nor any municipality, or an officer or employee

thereof acting on behalf of the authority, while acting within the scope

of their authority, shall be subject to any personal liability resulting

from the construction, maintenance or operation of any of the properties

of the authority or from carrying out any of the powers expressly given

in this title unless the conduct is finally determined by a court of

competent jurisdiction to constitute intentional wrong doing or

recklessness provided, however, that this section shall not be held to

apply to any independent contractor.
