(2) The indemnification shall be contingent upon an express determination by the commissioner that the act or omission which resulted in liability was within the scope and course of employment of the conservation officer, and occurred during the performance of duty, and was committed or omitted in the good faith belief that the act or omission was lawful and proper.

(3) The indemnification shall not be construed to abrogate or limit any privilege, immunity, or matter of defense otherwise available to the conservation officer and shall not constitute a waiver of any privilege, immunity, or matter of defense, including the sovereign immunity of the Commonwealth.
