SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
State employees; defense of such persons. Provides that any state agency, board, or other employer of a state employee, other than an agency head, may employ counsel to defend such person when he is investigated of a crime, arrested, indicted, or otherwise prosecuted on any charge arising out of his official duties. The state entity must first make a preliminary finding that (i) the employee did not violate any law, ordinance or regulation as a result of the act in question, and (ii) the employee will not be terminated from employment as a result of such act. In addition, the Attorney General must approve of the counsel hired and the reasonable compensation to be paid to such counsel. Compensation for counsel will be paid out of the funds appropriated for the state agency, board, or other employer of the state employee.
