b. suits, actions or proceedings upon any causes of action whatsoever, upon, in connection with, or arising out of any contract, express or implied, entered into or assumed by or assigned to the Commission before the effective date of this act (including any supplement to, or amendment, extension or renewal of any such contract, even if such supplement, amendment, extension or renewal is made on or after the effective date of this act), regardless of whether such cause of action accrued before or after that date;

c. civil suits, actions or proceedings for the recovery of statutory penalties; and

d. suits, actions or proceedings for judgments, orders or decrees restraining, enjoining or preventing the Commission from committing or continuing to commit any act or acts, other than suits, actions or proceedings by the Attorney General of New Jersey or by the Attorney General of New York, each of whom is hereby authorized to bring such suits, actions or proceedings in his or her discretion on behalf of any person or persons whatsoever who requests the Attorney General to do so, except in the cases otherwise excluded by this act; provided, that in any such suit, action or proceeding, no judgment, order or decree shall be entered except upon at least two days' prior written notice to the Commission of the proposed entry thereof.

The Commission shall be immune from liability as though it were the state of New York, except to the extent that such immunity is waived by the state of New York under section 8 of the New York court of claims act.
