(2) If some other law sets forth an amount in which an employee is to be bonded, the administrator shall procure a bond in at least the amount set forth in such law, but may require a bond in a greater amount than as set forth in such law if he determines, in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (1) above, that it would be in the best interest of the state to require a bond in a greater amount.

(3) The premium on the official surety bonds procured by the administrator in accordance with subsections (1) and (2) above shall be paid from funds appropriated or available for the employer or agency in the manner prescribed in section 41-3503, Idaho Code.
