An Act To Establish Immunity For A Receiver Appointed By The Public Utilities Commission To Oversee The Operations Of A Consumer-Owned Water Utility

This bill (LD 1127) provides legal immunity to receivers appointed by Maine's Public Utilities Commission to oversee consumer-owned water utilities. It ensures these receivers are treated like government employees under Maine's Tort Claims Act when acting in good faith. The key provision clarifies that receivers - acting in place of trustees - will have the same liability protection as public officials. This change applies specifically to receivers managing water utility operations, not to broader policy changes.
