12C.24  Liability.

When public deposits are made in accordance with this chapter, a public body depositing public funds or its agents, employees, officers, and board members are exempt from liability for any loss resulting from the loss of a depository in the absence of negligence, malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance on the part of the official. If the treasurer of state sells a depository's collateral securities, the depository shall deposit additional collateral to meet required collateral levels.

In making an assessment against depositories holding public funds as a result of a failure, the treasurer of state is exempt from any liability for loss, damage or expense to a depository which has accepted public funds.
