Arizona Revised Statutes § 38-263 Additional Bond; Failure To File

38-263. Additional bond; failure to file

A. When a surety on any official bond moves from the state, becomes insolvent or insufficient, or the penalty on the bond becomes insufficient, the person approving the bond shall, of his own motion, or on the showing of any person, supported by an affidavit, at once notify any such officer to appear before him at a time stated, not less than three nor more than ten days after the service of the notice, and show cause why he should not execute a new or additional bond with good and sufficient sureties.

B. After hearing thereon, either party aggrieved by the decision may appeal to the judge of the superior court of the county in which the bond is filed, and in the absence of the judge, to the court commissioner of the county, who shall proceed to hear the matter summarily and decide the case, and such decision shall be final. If the officer fails to appear, the matter may be heard in his absence, and if any officer, when required to do so, fails to file a new or additional bond, his office shall be deemed vacant.
