No notarial commission may be issued unless the notary has produced, as part of the application, evidence that, upon commissioning, a bond is in force in the sum of One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000). The bond must be executed by a licensed surety for the whole term of the notary’s commission, terminating on its expiration date, with payment of the bond’s principal to any person conditioned upon the notary’s misconduct as defined in Section 33104 of this Chapter. The bond shall not be canceled, revoked or modified without the express written authorization of the Attorney General, which shall be given only in extraordinary circumstances.
