AI Summary
This bill provides indemnity from prosecution for probation officers and court officers employed by the Trial Court. Specifically, it requires the Commonwealth to provide legal representation for these officers if they are sued for damages resulting from an alleged intentional tort or a violation of civil rights. The Commonwealth will also indemnify the officers for any personal loss and expenses, up to $1 million, arising from such claims, actions, or judgements, as long as the alleged actions occurred within the scope of the officers' official duties. However, the officers will not be indemnified if they acted in a willful, wanton, or malicious manner, in violation of federal or state law.
