Requires State Treasurer to reimburse county treasurer for defense costs and administrative expenses incurred by county in defending certain lawsuits during supersedure of county prosecutor by Attorney General.

This bill (S 3736) requires the State Treasurer to reimburse county treasurers for defense costs and administrative expenses when a county faces lawsuits during a period when the Attorney General supersedes a county prosecutor. It directly affects counties, county treasurers, and the Attorney General's office by mandating state reimbursement for civil suits against the Attorney General acting as temporary county prosecutor. The key provision amends existing law to expand reimbursement coverage beyond law enforcement-related lawsuits to include administrative matters, such as employment disputes. This change responds to a court ruling that previously denied state funding for such administrative lawsuits. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
