Sec. 714. ORDER REQUIRING NEW BOND

(a) The order entered under Section 713(1) of this code must state the reasons for requiring a new bond, the amount of the new bond, and the time within which the new bond must be given, which may not be earlier than the 10th day after the date of the order. If the guardian opposes the order, the guardian may demand a hearing on the order. The hearing must be held before the expiration of the time within which the new bond must be given.

(b) On the return of a citation ordering a guardian to show cause why the guardian should not give a new bond, the judge on the day contained in the return of citation as the day for the hearing of the matter, shall proceed to inquire into the sufficiency of the reasons for requiring a new bond. If the judge is satisfied that a new bond should be required, the judge shall enter an order to that effect that states the amount of the new bond and the time within which the new bond shall be given, which may not be later than 20 days from the date of the order issued by the judge under this subsection.
