Pennsylvania Statutes Title 16 Pa.C.S.A. Counties § 1132. Payment of premiums and commissions on collections

(a) Premiums and costs.--The premiums and costs for all forms of required security for county officials and employees shall be paid by the county. The requirement of this subchapter that a county acquire and pay the premiums and costs for required security shall not relieve a Commonwealth agency on whose behalf a county officer or employee is acting as an agent from an obligation, imposed by law, to procure insurance or bonding protection.

(b) Commissions on collections.--Nothing in this subchapter shall affect the right, provided for in any other law, of a county officer or employee to retain a commission, for use of the county, on amounts collected or transmitted as agent for a Commonwealth agency. Notwithstanding the right to retain commissions in accordance with this subsection, no county officer or employee shall be entitled to retain any additional sums from amounts collected for or to be transmitted to the Commonwealth agency for the purpose of paying premiums or costs related to the acquisition of required security.
