Okla. Stat. tit. 18, § 18-865: Liability of directors - Findings of Legislature

The Legislature finds that nonprofit corporations serve

important functions in providing services and assistance to persons

in the state and that in order for these nonprofit corporations to

function effectively, persons serving on the board of directors

should not be subject to vicarious liability for the negligence of

corporate employees or other directors. The Legislature finds that

potential exposure to vicarious liability has a detrimental effect

on the participation of persons as directors of nonprofit

corporations and that providing immunity to directors of such

corporations for certain types of liability will promote the general

health, safety and welfare of citizens in the state.
