Release of surety on tax collector's bond from future accruing liability; hearing

The surety on the official bond of a tax collector may apply at any time to the State Board, subject to the board's rules of practice and procedure, to be released from all future accruing liability on such bond, on the ground that the collector has refused or neglected to comply with provisions of law regulating the tax collection process or the administration of the tax collector's office. The board shall conduct a hearing upon such application, after notice to the collector and governing body, and at the hearing the collector, the surety, any citizen or taxpayer, or any public agency having an interest in the municipal tax collections may appear and shall have an opportunity to be heard.
