Sec. 70-5. Supervisor; bond.
(a) The supervisor, before entering upon the duties of the office, shall
give bond to the township, with one or more sureties, (i) in at least double
the amount of money that may come into the supervisor's hands, if individuals
act as sureties, or (ii) only in the amount of money that may come into the
supervisor's hands, if a surety company authorized to do business in this State
acts as surety. The bond shall be conditioned on the faithful discharge of his
or her duties as supervisor and require that he or she safely keep and pay over
all money entrusted to his or her keeping as supervisor. The bond shall be
approved by the township clerk and filed in the clerk's office with the clerk's
approval indorsed on it.
(b) Whenever the township clerk ascertains that the bond has been forfeited,
the clerk shall institute suit against the supervisor. If the clerk fails or
refuses to institute a suit, any person interested in the matter may institute
a suit.
