Each state marshal, before entering upon the duties of a state marshal, shall give to the State Marshal Commission a bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars conditioned that such state marshal will faithfully discharge the duties of state marshal and answer all damages which any person sustains by reason of such state marshal's unfaithfulness or neglect. The premium for said bonds shall be paid by the state. No state marshal shall collect tax warrants for the state or any municipality until such state marshal executes a bond in the sum of one hundred thousand dollars.
