(b) Reference to bonds.--Reference to bonds of county officers and employees in any other law shall be construed and read together with this subchapter, and if a conflict exists between this subchapter and the reference to bonds of county officers and employees in any other law, the provisions of this subchapter shall prevail.  (c) Other approvals.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the following shall apply to required security in the form of a bond, a blanket bond or insurance: (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), when required security is obtained in compliance with this subchapter, it shall not require the approval of any Commonwealth agency or the Governor as to form, content or amount.
