it for its purposes separately from the funds of the Georgia Building Authority.

(c) The committee, as a division and arm of the Georgia Building Authority, shall hold the status of the authority as a public body corporate and politic and an instrumentality of the state, but neither the committee nor its members shall be amenable to any action of any kind or nature arising out of the discharge of its powers and responsibilities under this article. The committee shall otherwise have and enjoy the sovereign immunity of the state.
