13.30 - Reimbursement for Expenditures Necessitated by Negligent, Willful or Reckless Conduct.

ยง 13.30 Reimbursement for expenditures necessitated by negligent,
willful or reckless conduct. 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.
