(a) Governing body.--The governing body shall establish a procedure pursuant to which the governing body shall annually determine the form and amount of required security that will be reasonably sufficient to protect against the risks of loss in compliance with this subchapter.
(b) Risk manager.--The governing body may appoint a risk manager who, at the request of the governing body, shall compile and submit information relevant to the determination of an amount of required security under subsection (a).
(c) Consultation.--To determine the amount of security for a county officer or employee who is acting as an agent for a Commonwealth agency or governing authority, the governing body may, or the risk manager shall, if directed by the governing body, provide written notice to the secretary or head of the Commonwealth agency or the governing authority. The Commonwealth agency or governing authority may provide input concerning the amount of security it believes is reasonably sufficient to protect against the risks of loss required to comply with this subchapter. Nothing in this subchapter shall impair the right of a Commonwealth agency or governing authority from approving the amount of required security, if it is explicitly authorized by law to approve the amount of a bond or other security of a county officer or employee acting as its agent.
