2007 Minnesota Statutes

574.24 OFFICIAL BONDS, SECURITY TO WHOM; ACTIONS.
The official bond or other security of a public officer, whether with or without sureties, shall
be security to all persons severally for the official delinquencies against which it is intended to
provide, as well as to the obligee designated therein, and when no other provision is made by
law it shall run to the state. When a public officer, by official misconduct or neglect, forfeits the
bond or renders the officer's sureties liable thereon, any person injured thereby, or who is by law
entitled to the benefit of the security, may bring an action thereon, in the person's own name,
against the officer and the sureties, to recover the amount to which the person is entitled by reason
of the delinquency; and a judgment in favor of a party for one delinquency does not preclude the
same or another party from an action on the same security for another delinquency.
