House Bill 1585 amends the Government Code to require a county or municipality to insure law enforcement officers against liability to third persons arising out of operation of a county or municipal vehicle at any time the officer is authorized to operate the vehicle. The act requires the liability insurance coverage to comply with the Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Act and provides alternate means for a political subdivision to satisfy this requirement.
