FAITHFUL PERFORMANCE BONDS

Effective:        January 12, 1981                                                                                              01-13

Objective:       To provide information on the faithful performance bonds (official undertakings) required by County Law for some County officers

Reference:     County Law, Section 403; Public Officers Law, Section 11; Tompkins County Charter and Code, Section 27.08

Policy of the Board of Representatives:

1.      County Law requires that the County Clerk, District Attorney, Sheriff, and such other County officers as are required by law, shall, before entering the duties of the office, execute an official undertaking (surety bond for faithful performance of the duties of the office) as provided in Section 11 of the Public Officers Law.

2.      Individual County officials do not need to file individual bonds.  In Tompkins County this legal requirement for official undertakings is met by a blanket public employees faithful performance bond carried through an insurance carrier.
