Full Text of § 996.230
Plain-English Summary
This section keeps a replacement or supplemental bond from becoming a loophole. Whatever provisions applied to the original bond, whether from the specific statute authorizing it or from this chapter, apply just as fully to the bond that follows it.
That includes, without limitation, this chapter's rules on how a bond is given and how it can be objected to, and the liability and enforcement provisions this batch covers in Article 14. A new surety doesn't step into a lighter set of obligations than the one it replaces.
