County officers-bond amounts and surety requirement.
HB 10 increases the required bond amount for several Wyoming county officers from $1,000-$10,000 to $100,000, effective July 1, 2023. It directly affects county clerks, coroners, assessors, commissioners, sheriffs, and surveyors by raising their financial security requirements. The bill eliminates the prior requirement for multiple sureties (two or more), allowing officers to use a single sufficient surety instead. This change applies only to officers assuming office on or after the effective date, with no other policy changes specified.
