2019 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes
Title 15 - CORPORATIONS AND UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS
Chapter 91 - Unincorporated Nonprofit Associations
Section 9117 - Liability

(a) Scope.--

(1) A debt, obligation or other liability of a nonprofit association, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, is solely the debt, obligation or other liability of the nonprofit association.

(2) A member or manager is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for a debt, obligation or other liability of the nonprofit association solely by reason of being or acting as a member or manager.

(3) This subsection applies regardless of the dissolution of the nonprofit association.

(b) Liability for conduct.--A person's status as a member or manager does not prevent or restrict law other than this chapter from imposing liability on the person or the nonprofit association because of the person's conduct.

(c) Agents.--A person that makes a contract or incurs an obligation on behalf of a nonprofit association after September 9, 2013, is not liable for performance or breach of the contract or other obligation if the fact that the person was acting for the nonprofit association was disclosed to, was known by or reasonably should have been known by the other party to the contract or to the party owed performance.

(d) Observation of formalities.--The failure of a nonprofit association to observe formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or the management of its activities and affairs is not a ground for imposing liability on a member or manager of the nonprofit association for a debt, obligation or other liability of the nonprofit association.
