The network, the board, a board member and the State of Oregon may not be liable for any loss incurred by any person as a result of participating in the network. (3) The board, in the exercise of its sole discretion and without liability, may remove the networks funds from any financial institution and reinvest the funds in a similar or different investment alternative at another financial institution pursuant to a contract, agreement or arrangement entered into under ORS 178.315 (4).
