Section § 21147

Explanation

This law says that if a district is chosen as the financial manager for a federal water project, each officer must get an extra bond set by the Secretary of the Interior. This bond ensures they do their jobs well and the district fulfills its responsibilities. If they fail, the U.S. government or anyone affected can take legal action.

If any district is appointed fiscal agent of or by the United States in connection with any Federal reclamation project, each officer shall execute an additional bond, in the sum required by the Secretary of the Interior, conditioned for the faithful discharge of the duties of his office and the faithful discharge by the district of its duties under the appointment; and the bond may be sued upon by the United States or any person injured by the failure of the officer or the district to perform promptly and completely his or its respective duties.
