26ZB: Members not personally liable

You could also call this:

"Council members are not personally responsible for mistakes made by the Council"

If you are a member of a Fish and Game Council, you are not personally responsible for any mistakes the Council makes. This is as long as the Council and its members are acting in good faith, meaning they are trying to do the right thing. You are protected from being personally liable for any errors made during the Council's operations.
