29-20-108. Immunity of emergency communications district boards Exception.
(a) Emergency communications district boards, established in § 7-86-105, and the members of such board shall be immune from any claim, complaint or suit of any nature which relates to or arises from the conduct of the affairs of the board except in cases of gross negligence by such board or its members. The finding of the general assembly is that the service of such boards and the members thereof is so critical to the safety and welfare of the citizens of this state that such absolute and complete immunity is required for the free exercise of the duties of such boards by the members.
(b) Such immunity shall not, however, be construed to extend to any employee of the emergency communications district.
[Acts 1985, ch. 144, § 1.]
