§ 72507 Community College Insurance Option

Notwithstanding the requirement to provide for indemnity bonds pursuant to Section 85266.5, the governing board of a community college district may, in lieu thereof, insure against all losses caused by an employee or an officer of a community college district if the insurance gives the same or greater protection to the community college district that a bond would provide in indemnifying the community college districts against any loss caused by the employee or officer of the community college district. (Added by Stats. 1994, Ch. 330, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1995.)
