Section 20-867 - Exemption from liabilityA. The officers and members of the supreme governing body or a subordinate body of a society are not personally liable for any benefits that are provided by the society.B. A society may indemnify and reimburse any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a society or who is or was serving at the request of the society as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other firm, corporation or organization for expenses reasonably incurred by and liabilities imposed on the person in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding or the threat of an action, suit or proceeding in which the person may be involved. In a civil action a person shall not be indemnified or reimbursed if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the person breached a duty owed as a director, officer, employee or agent of the society or the matter is the subject of a settlement, unless the person acted in good faith for a purpose the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the society. In a criminal action a person shall not be indemnified or reimbursed if the person negotiates a plea bargain or is found guilty in a court of competent jurisdiction of an offense relating to his position of director, officer, employee or agent of the society unless the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The supreme governing body or board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of persons who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine if the person acted in good faith. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding or a plea of no contest does not create a conclusive presumption that the person failed to act in good faith. The right of indemnification and reimbursement does not abrogate any other right to which the person is entitled as a matter of law and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the person.C. A society may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the society or who is or was serving at the request of the society as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other firm, corporation or organization against any liability that is asserted against the person and that the person incurred in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent. A society may purchase and maintain insurance pursuant to this subsection regardless of the society's ability to indemnify the person.D. A director, officer, employee, member or volunteer of a society who serves without compensation is not personally liable and no action may be maintained against him in his individual capacity for damages resulting from an act or omission within the scope of his duties and responsibilities unless the act or omission was caused by wanton or wilful misconduct.
