Latest version.
  • In addition to any other remedy which  may
      exist,  a person whose negligent, willful or reckless conduct results in
      an expenditure by the office for the purpose of  effectuating  a  rescue
      shall  be  liable for the amount of such expenditure and shall reimburse
      the office therefor. The  attorney  general  may  institute  any  proper
      action,  suit  or proceeding to recover the amount owed to the office as
      provided in this section and any  such  amount  so  recovered  shall  be
      deposited  in  the state treasury to the credit of the general fund. For
      purposes of this section, reckless  conduct  shall  mean  a  failure  to
      exercise  reasonable  care,  reasonable  caution  or  the foresight of a
      reasonably prudent and careful person, with a deliberate  disregard  for
      the consequences of such conduct.
