# The Local Government (Indemnities for Members and Officers) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 2014, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This Order amends the Local Government (Indemnities for Members and Officers) Order (Northern Ireland) 2012.
That Order requires councils to include terms within any indemnity (including any insurance secured) for the re-payment of sums expended by the council or insurer in any cases in which a member or officer has been convicted of a criminal offence (if the indemnity or insurance policy would otherwise cover the proceedings leading to that finding or conviction).
This Order extends that requirement to cases in which a member has been found to have failed to comply with or admitted that they have failed to comply with the Northern Ireland Local Government Code of Conduct for Councillors.
