Public Employee Attorney Fee Recovery Amendments

Summary

The bill lets a court require a public entity to cover reasonable attorney fees and court costs for a public employee who faced criminal charges tied to their job, but only when the charge is dismissed or results in acquittal and the entity acted in bad faith. It does not apply if the employee is later found guilty of a similar offense.
