Latest version.
  • Unless limited by the requirements in this division, the county shall, upon written request, provide for the employee's defense in a proceeding pending before any professional disciplinary committee, commission, board, or court (except for any proceeding arising from the employee's discipline by the county or a county official) so long as the matter involves the exercise of that employee's official county duties. The defense of an employee may not apply unless the employee provides notice in writing of any claim or proceeding to the county attorney within five (5) days after the employee has notice of a proceeding or investigation. Grounds for refusal of a defense are explained more fully below in section 2-96.
