Any person serving as a member of a county board of mental illness, whose action regarding the applications or petitions for involuntary commitment, for the treatment of any involuntarily committed person, or for the safekeeping otherwise of any person subject to involuntary commitment is taken in good faith, is immune from any civil liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed. The immunity from civil liability under this section does not apply if injury results from gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct.
