Bond of county treasurer
Official statutory text
The county treasurers shall be covered by the county blanket
bond and it shall run to the state, and action may be brought
thereon in the name of the state, for the use and benefit of the
person or persons injured by a violation thereof. In the event of
defalcation by the county treasurer no surety shall be required to
pay a greater portion of such loss than the ratio which its bond
bears to the total bond required for the treasurer. Such bond for
the county treasurer in each county as set by each board of county
commissioners shall be in the aggregate sum of not less than Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).
Any surety or sureties on the bond of such county treasurer may
at any time examine into, investigate and audit the books and
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 19. Counties and County Officers Page 247
records of such county treasurer for the purpose of determining
whether said treasurer has performed the duties of his office
faithfully and according to law and may, when such surety or
sureties deem themselves insecure, upon thirty (30) days' written
notice given to the board of county commissioners, withdraw and
cancel their obligations as surety or sureties on such bond.
