Where
any collecting officer, officer to hold public funds, bank, or depository gives
an additional bond or adds new security during his term, the bond in force at
the time and securities thereon shall be liable for defaults occurring prior to
the time the additional bond or security is given; and the existing bond or
security and the additional bond or security shall be jointly, severally, and
concurrently liable for subsequent defaults. If the order requiring a new bond
so provides, the sureties on the old bond or bonds shall be discharged from
future liability and the new bond alone shall be liable therefor. However, if
the new bond so provides, it may assume concurrent liability with the old bond
as to defaults occurring prior to the date of its being given, or, if the
officer having the duty of approving the bond so consents, the new bond may
assume sole liability from a date prior to the time of its being filed and the
old bond or bonds may be discharged from liability from the date as of which
such new bond is operative.
