What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, county officers, other than county supervisors, must execute and file an official bond in an amount specified by statute, or the county board may provide a schedule or blanket bond that includes any or all of the officials who are specified by statute, including the county clerk, treasurer, sheriff, clerk of circuit court, coroner, and register of deeds.
Also under current law, each member of a county veterans service commission and a county veterans service officer must execute to the county an individual surety bond. This bill authorizes the members of such a commission and a county veterans service officer to be included in a county's blanket bond.
