Miss. Code § 25-1-27
In case a surety on any bond of any local officer or employee shall conceive himself to be in danger of suffering by being such surety and shall desire to be relieved therefrom, he may petition the board of supervisors or the municipal governing authority, as the case may be, for relief in the premises. The appropriate local governing authority shall thereupon order that the officer or employee give a new bond with sufficient sureties in a penalty not less than the first bond and conditioned according to law, and notice of such order shall forthwith be given to such officer or employee. Said new bond shall be furnished within such reasonable time as the governing authority may direct, not exceeding thirty (30) days from the date of said order; and on the giving of such bond and the approval thereof by the governing authority, the petitioner shall be discharged from further liability on the bond as to the performances of all official duties after the giving of such new bond. If such officer or employee shall fail or refuse to comply with the order to give a new bond, his office or position shall thereby become vacant and the vacancy shall be filled as in other cases of vacancies in local offices or positions.
