The term includes an administrator, as that term is defined by Section 4151.001, Insurance Code. (b) Notwithstanding any other law, a program administrator that contracts with a political subdivision to manage or administer a plan or program of employee benefits for the political subdivision's employees is liable for a claim against the administrator, regardless of whether the political subdivision has governmental immunity, if: (1) the claim arises from a duty of the administrator under the contract; and (2) the administrator would otherwise be liable to the claimant under law. (c) A program administrator may not assert a defense of governmental immunity to suit or liability for a claim against the administrator described by this section. This section does not waive the governmental immunity to suit or liability of a political subdivision.
