Kansas Statutes Chapter 19. Counties and County Officers § 19-4204. Purchase of surety contracts for county and other municipal officers and employees; payment of premiums

(a) All surety contracts purchased pursuant to K.S.A. 19-4201 et seq., and amendments thereto, shall be purchased by the county commissioners in the manner deemed necessary and proper and the premiums therefor shall be paid from the county general fund.

(b) When requested by the governing body of a municipality located within a county, all blanket surety contracts purchased pursuant to K.S.A. 19-4201 et seq., and amendments thereto, shall cover the treasurer of such municipality. Such municipality shall reimburse the county for that portion of the premium of the blanket bond, the cost of which is attributable to the inclusion of the treasurer of such municipality under a blanket bond, purchased by the county pursuant to K.S.A. 19-4201 et seq., and amendments thereto. If a municipality is located in more than one county, the governing body of such municipality shall make such request to the board of county commissioners of the county in which the greater portion of the municipality is located to cover the municipality's treasurer in the county's blanket bond.

The board of county commissioners shall establish, by resolution, the procedure by which municipalities may request coverage under a blanket bond purchased by the county.
