The certificate of the conservator or other public official in charge of such bank to the effect that waivers and/or releases have been so executed to the amount of sixty per centum of the total net unsecured liabilities of such bank, shall constitute the necessary condition precedent to such action by the town board of the town. Neither the supervisor nor any member of a town board shall be liable to the town for any authorization given or release or waiver executed pursuant to the provisions of this section. * NB Effective until June 30, 2025; then becomes § 64-a
