(20 ILCS 1805/58) (from Ch. 129, par. 220.58)
Sec. 58.
The Commander-in-Chief may require that a bond in a suitable
amount, payable to the People of the State of Illinois, shall be given by
an approved surety company for any officer accountable for public property,
for its proper care and use as provided herein or by regulations, and for
its return upon demand of competent authority in good order and condition,
fair wear and tear and unavoidable loss excepted, subject to the
recommendations of a survey, approved by the Adjutant General. Provided,
however, that the Adjutant General with the approval of the Governor, may
obtain an adequate indemnity bond covering all or part of the officers so
accountable or responsible, in which case the officers so covered shall not
be required to furnish individual bonds as hereinbefore provided. The
charges and expenses of all bonds provided for in this Act shall be paid by
the State. Upon the violation of any of the conditions of any bond executed
and delivered under the provisions of this Section, action thereon shall be
brought by the Attorney General on behalf of the State. It shall be the
duty of the Attorney General of the State to prosecute all actions upon
such bonds.
