The board of county commissioners of each county is hereby

directed to purchase from the lowest bidder a surety contract or

contracts in the form known as a "blanket bond" to cover all county

officers, appointive officers, employees and reserve force deputy

sheriffs in the manner hereinafter provided. No other bond shall be

acceptable as surety for any elected or appointed officer or

employee of this state in lieu of the blanket bond provided for

herein unless the blanket bond is provided for as a specified item

in an all risk insurance policy purchased by the county. For

purposes of this act, a "blanket bond" is defined as a public

employees' blanket position bond which covers all employees up to

the penalty of the bond for each employee and the full penalty of

the bond is always in force during its term and no restoration is

necessary and there is no additional premium after a loss is paid.

The district attorney shall bring an action on the blanket bond to

recover any loss by the county which is covered by the bond.

Reserve deputy sheriffs shall also be covered by workers'

compensation insurance as provided in Section 1 et seq. of Title 85

of the Oklahoma Statutes.
