Proprietary functions are money-making activities that government units engage in and may be liable for injuries arising out of these activities. Municipal operations refer to traditional government services such as maintaining public parks and roads, which are still immune from liability. Commercial ventures and pecuniary interests essentially refer to the same concept as proprietary functions, and are not commonly used terms in this context.
