Unless otherwise restricted in its bylaws, a business corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under the provisions of this subchapter. Such insurance is declared to be consistent with the public policy of this Commonwealth. (Dec. 19, 1990, P.L.834, No.198, eff. imd.)
