Approved March 31, 1964

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15.1-41 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 15.1-41. Every county treasurer, sheriff of a county, sergeant of
a city, county clerk, clerk of a city court, clerk of a circuit court, commis-
sioner of the revenue, superintendent of the poor, county surveyor and
supervisor shall, at the time he qualifies, give such bond as is required
by § 49-12. The penalty of the bond of each officer shall be determined by
the court, judge or clerk before whom he qualifies, within the limits pre-
scribed in § 15.1-42. Subject to the provisions of §§ 15.1-43 and 15.1-45,
the board of supervisors of any county or the council of any city or town in
this State may pay the costs of the premium of the surety on such bond
when the surety is a surety or guaranty company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this section, no bond shall be required of a member
of the governing body of a county in which such members do not handle
county funds tf the judge of the circuit court of the county, or if there
be more than one, the senior judge, so provides by order entered of record.
