(a) The
					 Commonwealth will not provide an attorney to defend a present or former
					 official or employe in a criminal case arising from acts or omissions occurring
					 while in the service of the Commonwealth. If it is determined by the General
					 Counsel or the General Counsel's designee that there is no basis for the
					 prosecution as a matter of law or fact, the Commonwealth will reimburse the
					 employe for reasonable attorneys fees and to that end will make any required
					 advance of these fees, limited by the balance in the retirement account of the
					 employe.
(b) In a case in which the
					 General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee does not determine that there
					 is no basis for the prosecution in law or fact, he may nevertheless authorize
					 the reimbursement of reasonable attorneys fees if the employe's defense is
					 successful.

						with an attorney of its choosing at its expense. If there is no insurance
						coverage, the Commonwealth will provide an attorney to defend the official or
						employe. The Commonwealth will indemnify the defendant for the expense of a
						judgment against him in this case. The defendant may engage his own attorney
						but any attorneys fees will not be reimbursed by the Commonwealth and
						indemnification will be in the sole discretion of the General
						Counsel.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Good faith in exercise of
					 authority.
Regardless of the allegations made against the defendant,
					 if it appears to the General Counsel or to the General Counsel's designee that
					 the defendant's conduct giving rise to the cause of action was within the scope
					 of his employment and a good faith exercise of his authority, the Commonwealth,
					 or its insurance company if there is coverage, will undertake the defense with
					 an attorney of its choosing at its expense, and will indemnify the defendant
					 for the expense of a judgment against him or a settlement that is approved by
					 the General Counsel or the General Counsel's designee. The defendant may engage
					 his own attorney but indemnification and reimbursement of attorneys fees by the
					 Commonwealth will be in the sole discretion of the General Counsel.
(b)
Bad faith or malicious conduct,
					 or conduct outside the scope of employment.
(1) If the General Counsel or the General
					 Counsel's designee determines that the defendant's conduct was a bad faith
					 exercise of his authority, malicious or outside the scope of his employment,
					 the General Counsel, in his sole discretion, will determine whether the
					 Commonwealth will undertake the defense of the defendant. The Commonwealth will
					 not indemnify the defendant for a judgment against him, and will notify the
					 defendant that he may be subject to personal liability and should engage his
					 own attorney.
(2) If the General
					 Counsel or the General Counsel's designee has determined initially that the
					 defendant's conduct was a bad faith exercise of his authority, malicious or
					 outside the scope of his employment, and the defendant ultimately prevails in
					 the civil action, the General Counsel, in his sole discretion, may determine
					 that the Commonwealth will reimburse the defendant for the costs of defense and
					 fees of his private attorney.

(a) The
					 Commonwealth will not provide a defense to an official or employe whose failure
					 to notify the Commonwealth promptly of a suit or prosecution brought against
					 him has jeopardized the defense of the case, and the Commonwealth will not
					 indemnify the defendant for the expense of a judgment under these
					 circumstances.
(b) If the
					 Commonwealth provides a defense to an official or employe, the employe shall
					 cooperate fully in the defense of the case.
(c) To the extent the Commonwealth is
					 indemnifying the employe, the employe is deemed to authorize the Commonwealth
					 to settle the case as it deems appropriate and is deemed to authorize the
					 Commonwealth to make other legal and strategic decisions relating to defense of
					 the case as it deems appropriate.
