New York Laws
Title 1 - Nassau County Interim Finance Authority
3662 - Actions Against the Authority.

(b) In connection with any such claim, demand, suit, or judgment, any
director, officer or employee of or representative to the authority
shall be entitled to representation by private counsel of his or her
choice in any civil judicial proceeding whenever the attorney general
determines based upon his or her investigation and review of the facts
and circumstances of the case that representation by the attorney
general would be inappropriate. The attorney general shall notify the
individual in writing of such determination that the individual is
entitled to be represented by private counsel. The attorney general may
require, as a condition to payment of the fees and expenses of such
representative, that appropriate groups of such individuals be
represented by the same counsel. If the individual or groups of
individuals is entitled to representation by private counsel under the
provisions of this section, the attorney general shall so certify to the
state comptroller. Reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation expenses
shall be paid by the state to such private counsel from time to time
during the pendency of the civil action or proceeding, subject to
certification that the individual is entitled to representation under
the terms and conditions of this section by the authority, upon the
audit and warrant of the state comptroller. The provisions of this
subdivision shall be in addition to and shall not supplant any
indemnification or other benefits heretofore or hereafter conferred upon
directors, officers, or employees of and representatives to the
authority by section seventeen of the public officers law, by action of
the authority or otherwise. The provisions of this subdivision shall
inure only to directors, officers and employees of and representatives
to the authority, shall not enlarge or diminish the rights of any other
party, and shall not impair, limit or modify the rights and obligations
of any insurer under any policy of insurance.
