The Office of the Attorney General has advised that people working for the State are indemnified for any reasonable legal fees and/or damages if they are sued for undertaking their duties on behalf of the State and they acted in good faith and in a bona fide manner. The State carries its own insurance in this regard. This indemnity would apply to those civil servants appointed to State boards as part of their official duties.
