10 - Official oaths.

 
    § 10. Official  oaths.   Every officer shall take and file the oath of
  office required by law, and every judicial officer of the unified  court
  system,  in  addition,  shall  file a copy of said oath in the office of
  court administration, before he shall be  entitled  to  enter  upon  the
  discharge  of  any  of  his  official  duties.  An oath of office may be
  administered by a judge of the court of appeals, the  attorney  general,
  or   by   any   officer  authorized  to  take,  within  the  state,  the
  acknowledgment of the execution of a deed of real  property,  or  by  an
  officer  in whose office the oath is required to be filed or by his duly
  designated assistant, or may be administered to any member of a body  of
  officers, by a presiding officer or clerk, thereof, who shall have taken
  an oath of office. An oath of office may be administered to any state or
  local  officer  who is a member of the armed forces of the United States
  by any commissioned officer, in active service, of the armed  forces  of
  the United States. In addition to the requirements of any other law, the
  certificate of the officer in the armed forces administering the oath of
  office  under  this  section  shall  state  (a)  the rank of the officer
  administering the oath, and (b) that the person taking the oath  was  at
  the  time,  enlisted,  inducted,  ordered  or commissioned in or serving
  with, attached to or accompanying the armed forces of the United States.
  The fact that the officer administering the oath was at  the  time  duly
  commissioned  and  in  active  service  with  the armed forces, shall be
  certified by the secretary of the army, secretary of the air force or by
  the secretary of the navy, as the case may be, of the United States,  or
  by a person designated by him to make such certifications, but the place
  where  such  oath  was  administered  need not be disclosed. The oath of
  office of a notary public or commissioner of deeds shall be filed in the
  office of the clerk of the county in which he shall reside. The oath  of
  office  of  every  state  officer  shall  be  filed in the office of the
  secretary of  state;  of  every  officer  of  a  municipal  corporation,
  including  a school district, with the clerk thereof; and of every other
  officer, including the trustees and officers of a public library and the
  officers of boards of cooperative educational services, in the office of
  the clerk of the county in  which  he  shall  reside,  if  no  place  be
  otherwise provided by law for the filing thereof.
