Re: Freedom of Information Act Request

Dear

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act, The Sunshine Act 5 U.S.C. § 552b, and 29 Del. Code, Chapter 100. I  request that a photocopy of the following documents be provided to me: 

• Copy of your Public Official Surety Bond: § 8104. Official bond or § 8101. Sheriff’s.
• A copy of your Public Official Blanket Surety Bond if applicable.
• A copy of your Surety Liability Insurance Policy if applicable.
• Copy of your oath of office.
• Copy of Power of Attorney for the Surety Bond Company.
• Copy of Power of Attorney for Blanket Bond from Surety Bond Company if applicable. 

I am a private citizen seeking information concerning your public official surety bond that you are required by the state of Delaware to obtain before swearing the oath of office. 

Public Official Surety Bond requests fall under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, The Sunshine Act 5 U.S.C. § 552b, and 29 Del. Code, Chapter 100  by law you are obligated to supply me with this information. 

8101. Sheriff’s recognizance or administration bond: No action shall be brought upon the official recognizance of any sheriff, or upon any administration bond, or upon any testamentary bond, against either the principal or sureties, after the expiration of 6 years from the date of such recognizance or bond. The bond of any executor or administrator cum testamento annexo, who, during his or her life, is entitled under the will of any deceased testator to the personal estate of such deceased testator, shall continue in force for the period of 3 years after the death of such executor or administrator.

8104. Official bond: No action shall be brought upon the official obligation of any State Treasurer, Secretary of State, county treasurer, register of wills, recorder of deeds, Prothonotary, Clerk of the Peace, Register in Chancery, collector, or constable, against either the principal or sureties, after the expiration of 3 years from the accruing of the cause of such action.

You are obligated to maintain a copy of your bond during the time you serve in office and for one year after your term has ended. You are obligated to supply me with a copy of this bond within (72) hours after receiving this request. If you fail to supply me with a copy of the bond you are in direct violation of the law. 

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,
