[§ 3345.12.2] § 3345.122. Immunity of trustees.
 

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a member of a board of trustees of an institution of higher education, as defined in section 3345.12 of the Revised Code, is not liable in damages in a civil action for injury, death, or loss to person or property that allegedly is caused by an expenditure made or a contract entered into by the institution of higher education unless the trustee acted with malicious purpose, in bad faith, or in a wanton or reckless manner with respect to the expenditure or contract. 
 

HISTORY: 147 v H 215 (Eff 6-30-97); 147 v H 770. Eff 9-16-98.
 

The effective date is set by section 30 of HB 770. 

The provisions of § 16 of HB 770 (147 v  - ) read as follows: 

SECTION 16. The enactment by this act of R.C. 3345.122 is intended to confirm the enactment of the section by Am. Sub. H.B. 215 of the 122nd General Assembly, the biennial operating budget measure. The Statement of the Reasons for the Veto of Items in Amended Substitute House Bill 215, Item Number Three, states that the Governor disapproved the enactment of the section, R.C. 3345.182, that immediately follows R.C. 3345.122 in Am. Sub. H.B. 215. In boxing R.C. 3345.182 to indicate this disapproval, however, the Governor also boxed R.C. 3345.122. The Statement of the Reasons for the Veto of Items, Item Number Three, indicates no intention to disapprove R.C. 3345.122. And neither do the Governor's disapprovals in the enacting clauses of the title and Section 1 of Am. Sub. H.B. 215, where the Governor boxed the intention to enact R.C. 3345.182, but not the intention to enact R.C. 3345.122. 

This section is subject to the referendum.
