When port authority funds are deposited by the treasurer in a bonded depository, the treasurer and the surety on the treasurer’s official bond are exempt from liability for the loss of the deposits because of the failure, bankruptcy, or any other act or default of the depository. A port authority may accept assignments of collateral from its depository to secure deposits in the same manner as assignments of collateral are permitted by law to secure deposits of the port authority’s city.
