§198. Liability of notary and surety; effect of surety company bond; cancellation of bond for nonpayment
A. Nothing contained in R.S. 35:193 shall in any way affect the liability of a notary for the failure to perform his duties, nor the liability of his surety for any neglect thereof, or in any way alter the requirements of the recording of bonds not signed by a surety company, or their legal effect when so recorded.
B. When the notary in Orleans Parish has given bond with a surety company, the surety has the right to cancel the bond for nonpayment of the premium by giving notice through registered mail to the custodian of notarial records for the parish of Orleans. This notice must be given thirty days prior to any anniversary date of the bond, after which anniversary date the liability of the surety company on the bond shall cease.
