Ch. 31
1997 LAWS OF MARYLAND
[7.
Any surety or the personal representative of any surety, upon the official bond of
any State, county, municipal or other public officer who is, by the Constitution of the
State of Maryland, or by any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, required to give such
bond, may be discharged from further liability as such surety upon application by petition
to the court, judge, officer, board or other person or persons or body having authority to
approve such bond, who shall thereupon immediately, by order reciting such application,
require such public officer to furnish a new bond in the same manner as if none had ever
been given by him within thirty days after personal service of such order. Such personal
service may be made either within or without the State of Maryland by the said court,
judge, officer, board or other person or persons or body, or by any person authorized by
them or at their request, by the surety or any agent or representative of the surety. When
such new bond is given and approved, according to law, in compliance with said order, the
surety on the prior bond shall remain liable for acts or defaults occurring prior thereto,
but shall be discharged from all further liability from the acts or defaults of said officer
which may be done or committed subsequent to the approval of such new bond. The
office of any such State, county, municipal, or other public officer shall become vacant at
the expiration of thirty days from personal service as aforesaid, if the said officer shall not
have complied with such order by filing new bond, and the said vacancy shall be filled as
provided by law in case of death, resignation or removal; this provision shall be
mandatory.]
REVISOR'S NOTE: Art. 90, §§ 5 through 7 are repealed as obsolete. The
remainder of former Art. 90 (§ 10) is revised as § 15-115 of the Estates and
