Blanket bond
Official statutory text
The board of county commissioners of each county is hereby
directed to purchase from the lowest bidder a surety contract or
contracts in the form known as a "blanket bond" to cover all county
officers, appointive officers, employees and reserve force deputy
sheriffs in the manner hereinafter provided. No other bond shall be
acceptable as surety for any elected or appointed officer or
employee of this state in lieu of the blanket bond provided for
herein unless the blanket bond is provided for as a specified item
in an all risk insurance policy purchased by the county. For
purposes of this act, a "blanket bond" is defined as a public
employees' blanket position bond which covers all employees up to
the penalty of the bond for each employee and the full penalty of
the bond is always in force during its term and no restoration is
necessary and there is no additional premium after a loss is paid.
The district attorney shall bring an action on the blanket bond to
recover any loss by the county which is covered by the bond.
Reserve deputy sheriffs shall also be covered by workers'
compensation insurance as provided in Section 1 et seq. of Title 85
of the Oklahoma Statutes.
