Tenn. Code § 18-2-212
Current through Acts 2023-2024, ch. 1069
The grand jury in each county shall inquire into the correctness and sufficiency of the bonds of all the clerks within the county, including the clerk and master of the chancery court, and, for this purpose, they may send for witnesses and examine all necessary records and papers. Should they find any bond of any of the clerks incorrect in form or insufficient in amount, or in the quality of the security on the bonds, it is their duty to return the fact to the court to which the clerk belongs, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the court, without delay, to make an order upon the clerk to execute within thirty (30) days, in lieu of such bond, a new bond, or give additional satisfactory security.
