arrow Previous bar Next arrow

Every person who exercises any function of a public office without taking the oath of office, or without giving the required bond, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

This section does not affect the validity of acts done by a person exercising the functions of a public office in fact, where other persons than himself are interested in maintaining the validity of such acts.

(Stats. 1943, Ch. 134, Sec. 1303.)
