(a)Compliance.-- A requirement in another law, regulation or rule that a bond be provided by a county officer or employee to secure the faithful performance of duty or to act as the agent of a Commonwealth agency or governing authority may be satisfied by including this obligation within the coverage of required security supplied in accordance with this subchapter.

(b)Reference to bonds.-- Reference to bonds of county officers and employees in any other law shall be construed and read together with this subchapter, and if a conflict exists between this subchapter and the reference to bonds of county officers and employees in any other law, the provisions of this subchapter shall prevail.

(c)Other approvals.-- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the following shall apply to required security in the form of a bond, a blanket bond or insurance:

(1)Except as provided in paragraph (2), when required security is obtained in compliance with this subchapter, it shall not require the approval of any Commonwealth agency or the Governor as to form, content or amount.

(2)If any other law explicitly authorizes a Commonwealth agency or the Governor to approve the amount of a bond or other security of a county officer or employee, the amount of required security under this subchapter shall be subject to approval by the Commonwealth agency or the Governor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
