What it is and who needs it.
What the public official bond guarantees
A public official bond guarantees that an elected or appointed official will faithfully perform the duties of office and honestly account for the public money and property in their care. It is required of many officials in Alaska — by state law for some positions, and by borough, city, or district ordinance and policy for others.
Under Alaska law, an official bond must carry a corporate surety (or two individual sureties) and is approved as to form before it takes effect; for state positions the amount is set by law or by the governor on the recommendation of the commissioner of administration. For local positions, the governing body sets the obligee and the amount.
If an official misappropriates funds or fails to perform a bonded duty, the public entity can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the official (or their indemnitors) repays the surety. We issue the amount your governing body set at a flat 3%; a soft credit pull informs approval, never the price.
