38-259. Extent of liability

Every official bond executed by an officer pursuant to law is in force and
obligatory upon the principal and sureties therein for any and all breaches of the
conditions thereof committed during the time the officer continues to discharge any of
the duties of or hold the office, whether the breaches are committed or suffered by the
principal officer, his deputy or clerk. When, except in criminal prosecutions, a
penalty, forfeiture or liability is imposed on any officer for nonperformance or
malperformance of official duty, the liability therefor attaches to the official bond of
the officer, and to the principal and sureties thereon. Every such bond is in force and
obligatory upon the principal and sureties therein for the faithful discharge of all
duties which may be required of the officer by any law enacted subsequently to the
execution of the bond, and such condition shall be expressed therein.
