H.B. 95-1273 County treasurers - qualification for office - surety bonds - deposits of moneys or securities. Prior to a county treasurer being sworn into office, requires the board of county commissioners, by written resolution adopted by a majority vote, to set the amount of a surety bond to be executed by the treasurer and to authorize the purchase of the bond by the board. Repeals the requirements that the bond have at least 3 sureties, be endorsed with the official approval of the board or approved by the clerk of the board if the board is not in session, and be twice the amount of all moneys levied in the county if the board does not fix the penal sum of the bond.
For deposits of moneys or securities made by a county treasurer in a bank or savings and loan association, eliminates the requirement that the bank or savings and loan have its principal office within the state.
