Public Utilities Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If an officer signs official papers (like bonds) and then leaves their job, their signature is still valid.
•The signature stays good even if the person is no longer in office when the papers are used or sold.
•This rule applies to both the main papers and any attached coupons.

Example

A city official signs papers for a new school bond but quits their job the next day.

Even though the official is no longer working, their signature on the bond papers is still valid when the city sells the bonds.

§ 17008 Bond Officer Signature Validity

Notwithstanding the fact that an officer whose signature, countersignature, or attestation appears on any bonds or coupons thereof ceases to be such officer before the sale or delivery of such bonds, his signature, countersignature, or attestation appearing either on the bonds or the coupons, or on both, is valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until the sale or delivery of the bonds. (Added by Stats. 1953, Ch. 72.)
