What this bill does
This bill would extend governmental immunity from lawsuits to outside lawyers hired by government entities, in certain circumstances, giving them the same protection a government's own employed attorney has. It also includes a technical clause to keep the bill's changes consistent with another bill, H.B. 48, if both pass.
