Title: Revision of 28 CFR Part 15 Pertaining to the Defense of Certain Suits Against Federal Employees To Conform to the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act | |
Abstract: This rule revises 28 CFR part 15, pertaining to the defense of certain suits against Federal employees, to conform the regulations to changes made by the Federal Employee Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act, Public Law 100-694. Under prior law, the defense of suits against Federal employees for torts committed in the scope of their employment was limited to claims involving the operation of motor vehicles. Public Law 100-694 expanded the coverage of the immunity provisions to include all common law torts committed by Federal employees in the scope of their employment. This rule conforms the Department's regulations to the expanded coverage of the statute. | |
