Section 5-20-1-3.5 - Surety bonds

Before the issuance of any bonds under this chapter:

(1) the executive director of the authority;

(2) each member of the authority; and

(3) any other employee or agent of the authority authorized by resolution of the authority to handle funds or sign checks;

shall execute a surety bond in the penal sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). If an individual described in subdivisions (1) through (3) is already covered by a bond required by state law, the individual need not obtain another bond if the bond required by state law is in at least the penal sum specified in this section and covers the individual's activities for the authority. In lieu of this bond, the chairman of the authority may execute a blanket surety bond covering each member, the executive director, and the employees or other officers of the authority. Each surety bond must be conditioned upon the faithful performance of the individual's duties, and shall be issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in Indiana as surety. At all times after the issuance of any surety bonds, these surety bonds shall be maintained in full force and effect. All costs of the surety bonds shall be borne by the authority.
