La. R.S. 42:181 lets a public officer required by law to give bond satisfy that requirement with a surety company authorized in Louisiana, and R.S. 42:183 governs to whom the bond is payable. The required amount and conditions are set by the specific statute, charter, or ordinance for the office — this is not a single fixed statewide figure. Confirm the amount in the law that governs your office. (Note: some public bodies instead cover officers through a blanket/master fidelity bond; if your entity uses one, you may not need an individual bond.)
