This bill clarifies the bonding rules for municipal officers by allowing cities to use blanket insurance coverage instead of requiring individual bonds for each officer. The bill also updates the language requiring municipal finance officers to maintain bonds based on the maximum money they handle, with caps of $250,000 for first-class cities and $150,000 for second and third-class cities—but again, only if the city doesn't have blanket coverage.
