§ 15182 Bond Validity After Officer Changes

Education Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that a bond (a promise to pay money) stays good even if the people who signed it or the official seal change after it was signed.

Key Takeaways

•Bonds are still valid if they were signed correctly at first.
•A change in the people who signed the bond doesn’t cancel it.
•Changing the official seal after signing doesn’t affect the bond’s validity.

Example

A county issues a bond to build a new library. After the bond is signed, the supervisor who signed it retires and a new seal is used for other documents.

Even though the signer and the seal are different now, the bond is still valid because it was signed the right way the first time.
