Office of the Legal Adviser; Indemnification of Department of State Employees

摘要

This statement announces a Department of State policy to permit payment of Department funds to indemnify Department employees who suffer adverse money judgments as a result of acts within the scope of their employment and to settle personal damages claims involving such acts, as determined by the Under Secretary for Management or his or her designee. This rule is similar to regulations adopted by other Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice (28 CFR part 50), the Department of the Treasury (31 CFR part 3) and the Agency for International Development (22 CFR part 207).
