119A.528  Removal of member of board; indemnification and defense of member of board.

      1.  Notwithstanding any provision of a time-share instrument or the bylaws of an association to the contrary, the owners, by a two-thirds vote of all persons present, in person or by proxy, who are entitled to vote at any meeting of the owners at which a quorum is present, may remove any member of the board, with or without cause, other than a member appointed by the developer.

      2.  If a member of the board is sued for liability for actions undertaken in his or her role as a member of the board, the association shall indemnify the member for his or her losses or claims, and undertake all costs of defense, unless it is proven that the member acted with willful or wanton misfeasance or with gross negligence. After such proof, the association is no longer liable for the costs of defense, and may recover from the member of the board who so acted, costs already expended. Members of the board are not personally liable to the victims of crimes occurring on the project. Punitive damages may not be recovered against the association, but may be recovered from persons whose activity gave rise to the damages.
