     Authorizing the Secretary of Highways to pay out of the Motor
        License Fund, judgments rendered against employes of the

     the course of their official duties, and the insurance carrier
     has become insolvent or gone into liquidation without making
     adequate provision for the protection required by the policy,
     the Secretary of Highways is hereby authorized to pay, subject
     to the approval of the Attorney General, all or any portion of
     the amount of any valid final judgment, together with costs
     which has been or may be recovered against such employe as

     the Department of Highways out of the Motor License Fund for the
     purposes of this act.

     its final enactment.
