Whichever bond is required under section 35 of this chapter shall be conditioned that the person shall faithfully and properly execute the person's duty and trust, and that the treasurer shall pay according to law all money which shall come to the treasurer's hands as treasurer, and will render a just and true account of that money at any time required by the county board of commissioners, or by law, and that the treasurer shall deliver over to the treasurer's successor in office, or to any other person authorized by law to receive the same, all money, books, papers, and other things appertaining or belonging to the office.
