Isaac, Brant, Ledman & Teetor, Mark Landes and Marc J. Kessler, urging reversal on behalf of amicus curiae, County Commissioners Association of Ohio.

MOYER, C.J.

The issue before the court is whether the immunity from civil liability conferred upon a county by R.C. Chapter 2744 extends to the county's human services department. We answer this question in the affirmative, reverse the court of appeals and reinstate the judgment of the trial court. The parties have not placed in issue the constitutionality of the provisions of R.C. Chapter 2744 involved in this case.
