Section 40-2-66

Employment of special counsel.

Whenever any matter is pending before any court affecting the revenue laws of the state and in which the state is an interested party and the interest is very important, the Department of Revenue may, with the approval of the Governor and Attorney General, employ special counsel to represent the interest of the state on the trial thereof; provided, that the Attorney General certifies to the Governor in writing that neither he nor any of his assistants are available for service, and no case pending before a court affecting the revenue laws of the state shall be dismissed by counsel representing the state, whether specially employed counsel or otherwise, except by order of the Department of Revenue.
