LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

(3)  BE WITH SURETY THAT THE GOVERNOR APPROVES; AND

(4)  BE CONDITIONED ON THE COMPTROLLER:

(I)  ACCOUNTING FOR THE FUNDS THAT ARE RECEIVED
UNDER COLOR OF OFFICE; AND

(II)  OTHERWISE DISCHARGING FAITHFULLY EACH DUTY
OF OFFICE.

(C) FILING.

AFTER EXECUTION AND APPROVAL OF A SURETY BOND UNDER THIS
SECTION, THE SURETY BOND SHALL BE RECORDED IN THE OFFICE OF THE
CLERK OF THE COURT OF APPEALS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence and
the first clause of the second sentence of former Art.
19, § 2.

In subsections (a) through (c) of this section, the
word "surety" is added to modify "bond". Also, in
subsection (b)(3) of this section, the word "surety"
is substituted for the former references to
"securit[ies]". The additions and substitution
reflect the practice of the Comptroller who, for at
least the last 3 terms, has provided a surety bond, as
security.

The introductory phrase of subsection (a) of this
section "[w]hile in office," is substituted for the
former language "[b]efore entering upon the discharge
of his duties," to clarify that the Comptroller must
have coverage throughout the term of office.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the requirement
that the surety bond "run to the State" is substituted
for the former requirement to "give bond to the
State", for clarity.

The second clause of the second sentence of former
Art. 19, § 2, which provided for use of a certified
copy of the surety bond in evidence, is deleted as
unnecessary in light of CJ § 10-204, which provides
generally for use of certified copies of public
records.

4-103. SALARY.

THE COMPTROLLER IS ENTITLED TO THE SALARY PROVIDED IN THE
STATE BUDGET.
