California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 14 — Of Miscellaneous Provisions, Chapter 2 — Bonds and Undertakings, Article 11 — Release or Substitution of Sureties on Bond Given in Action or Proceeding, Section 996.130
(a) If a substitute surety is given, the substitute surety is subject to all the provisions of this chapter, including but not limited to the provisions governing insufficient and excessive bonds.
(b) Upon the substitution of a sufficient surety, the court shall order the release of the original surety from liability on the bond.
Notes
Requires a substitute surety to comply with all chapter provisions, including rules governing insufficient and excessive bonds. Once a sufficient substitute surety is provided, the court must order the original surety released from liability on the bond, making release contingent on successful substitution of adequate replacement security.
