[This section was reenacted without change by Laws, 1996, ch. 313, Sec. 4, effective from and after June 30, 1996. Since the language of the section as it appears in the parent volume is unaffected by the reenactment, it is not reprinted in this supplement as directed by the State Attorney General.] The commissioner shall have authority to appoint, with the consent of the Governor, a deputy commissioner, who shall have power, during his absence or inability to act from any cause, to perform any and all of the duties of the commissioner. Said deputy shall be commissioned by the Governor and shall be subject to the same requirements, restrictions, and qualifications as the commissioner, excepting that the bond of the deputy shall be in the penal sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), conditioned and approved in the same manner as the bond of the commissioner.
