LD1127

An Act to Establish Immunity for a Receiver Appointed by the Public Utilities Commission to Oversee the Operations of a Consumer-owned Water Utility

Complete·4/30/25

Establishes immunity for a receiver overseeing a consumer-owned water utility in Maine.

This bill specifies that a receiver appointed by the Public Utilities Commission to oversee the operations of a consumer-owned water utility must be treated in the same manner as an employee acting on behalf of a governmental entity under the Maine Tort Claims Act. This change provides a receiver, who acts in place of trustees, with the same immunity accorded to trustees.
