§ 29611 County Official Legal Defense Costs

• •If the county's money people (auditor and treasurer) have to go to court to check if a law or order about county money is fair or legal, the county pays for it.
• •This only covers real costs, like lawyer fees, not extra or fake expenses.
• •The law is about making sure county money is used right, so the county picks up the bill for these court fights.

The county treasurer gets sued because someone says a new rule about how to spend school lunch money is unfair.

The treasurer has to hire a lawyer to fight the case in court. The county will pay for the lawyer because the fight is about whether the rule is fair or legal.
