What it is and who needs it.
What the public official bond actually covers
New Hampshire requires its town officers who handle public funds to be bonded. Under RSA 41:6, town treasurers, trustees, library trustees, town clerks, tax collectors and their deputies, and anyone delegated treasury functions are bonded by position — typically under a blanket bond from a surety authorized in the state.
The bond indemnifies against losses through the officers' failure to faithfully perform their duties, to account properly for money or property received by virtue of their positions, or through fraudulent or dishonest acts. It protects the town and its taxpayers, not the officer.
RSA 41:6 directs the Commissioner of Revenue Administration to adopt rules on the amount and form of these bonds, and the premiums are paid by the town. The bonds must provide at least a 2-year discovery period after coverage ends. Enter the amount your town set and your exact price, from $100, appears at the application.
