How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

In any civil action brought against any present or former officer, employee, immune contractor, member of a board or commission of the State or a political subdivision or State Legislator, in which a judgment is entered against the person based on any act or omission relating to the person’s public duty or employment, the State or political subdivision shall indemnify the person unless:

1. The person failed to submit a timely request for defense;

2. The person failed to cooperate in good faith in the defense of the action;

3. The act or omission of the person was not within the scope of the person’s public duty or employment; or

4. The act or omission of the person was wanton or malicious.
