At the time of assuming office, the register shall give bond to the State. The provisions of § 2–105(b), (d), (e), and (f) of the Courts Article shall be applicable to the bond. The bond shall be for the term of the register’s office in the form and for the penalty the Comptroller prescribes, with the advice of the Legislative Auditor. The Comptroller may require that the penalty of a bond be supplemented or increased. If the register fails to give bond before the register acts as register, the register is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall pay a fine of $1,000.
