§ 22708 Officer Signatures On Bonds

Key Takeaways

  • •If an officer signs a bond or coupon but leaves their job before the bond is given to the buyer, their signature is still valid.
  • •The signature on the coupons by the auditor at the time the bonds are made is still good, even if a different auditor signs the bonds when they are delivered.
  • •This rule makes sure that bonds and coupons are still valid even if the people who signed them are no longer in their jobs.

Example

Imagine a school principal signs a paper promising to pay for new playground equipment. Before the paper is given to the company selling the equipment, the principal retires.

The principal's signature is still good, and the school still has to pay for the equipment. It doesn't matter that the principal is no longer working there.

§ 22708 Officer Signatures On Bonds

If any officer whose signature, countersignature, or attestation appears on the bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before the delivery of the bonds to the purchaser, the signature, countersignature, or attestation is valid and sufficient for all purposes as if he had remained in office until the delivery of the bonds. The signature on the coupons of the person who is auditor at the date of the bonds is valid although the bonds may be attested by a different person who is auditor at the time of their delivery. (Added by Stats. 1953, Ch. 151.)
