There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Defense And Indemnification.
§ 2642-o. Defense and indemnification. 1. The authority shall not execute any of its powers except as necessary to commence its corporate existence, until it has elected to make the provision of section eighteen of the public officers law applicable to its employees (as such term is defined in section eighteen of the public officers law) pursuant to subdivision two of such section; provided, however, that nothing contained within this section shall be deemed to permit the authority to extend the provisions of section eighteen of the public officers law upon any independent contractor. 2. Neither the members of the authority, nor any participating county, municipality, officer or employee acting on the authority's behalf, while acting within the scope of his, her or its 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; provided, however, that this shall not be held to apply to any independent contractor.
