§65. No liability for acts performed in good faith
A. Neither the department nor any enforcing officer, agent, or other employee of the department shall incur any liability whatsoever for any search, arrest, seizure, or other act done by him in the good faith performance of his duties under this Chapter. The attorney general may defend any employee of the department in any civil action in which the employee is a defendant as a result of acts performed in the course of his duties as an employee when the attorney general determines that the defense by the attorney general is required to protect the interests of the state.
B. If the attorney general does not defend an employee as provided in Subsection A of this Section, the attorney for the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries may so defend such employee. The department's attorney may also defend such employee in any criminal action in which the employee is a defendant as a result of acts performed in the course of his duties as an employee when the department determines that such defense is required to protect the interests of the state.
