Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a joint powers agency or entity provided for by a joint powers agreement pursuant to this article, the members of which may conduct agricultural, livestock, industrial, cultural, or other types of fairs and exhibitions, or educational programs and activities, may establish and administer risk pooling arrangements for the payment of liability losses, workers' compensation losses, and other types of losses incurred by members of the joint powers agency or entity and by nonprofit corporations conducting or benefiting agricultural, livestock, industrial, cultural, or other types of fairs and exhibitions, or educational programs and activities, and by members of the joint powers agency or entity and by nonprofit corporations or auxiliary organizations operating facilities, programs, or events at public schools, the California Community Colleges, the California State University, or the University of California.  For purposes of this section, one or more public agencies and one or more nonprofit corporations or auxiliary organizations operating facilities, programs, or events at public schools, the California Community Colleges, the California State University, or the University of California may enter into a joint powers agreement.  The joint powers agency or entity may provide the nonprofit corporations with any services or nonrisk pooling programs provided to the agency's or entity's members.  Aggregate payments made under each risk pooling arrangement shall not exceed the amount available in the pool established for that arrangement.  The joint powers agency or entity may establish and administer as many separate risk pooling arrangements as it deems desirable.  A liability risk pooling arrangement established pursuant to this section also may provide for the payment of losses incurred by special events users, lessees, and licensees of facilities operated by nonprofit corporations, auxiliary organizations, public schools, the California Community Colleges, the California State University, or the University of California and for the payment of losses incurred by employees, participants and exhibitors in programs sponsored by those entities.
