(a) At the time of the application for license as a bail agent, the applicant shall file with the Department a bond executed and issued by a surety insurer authorized to transact business in the State in the minimum amount of $20,000, which bond shall secure the faithful performance of the applicant’s duties as a bail agent. A bail agent license shall be automatically suspended if the bond is not in force or if the security referred to in subsection (c) of this section is impaired or unavailable to the Department.
(b) The bond shall have the following characteristics:
(1) The bond must be conditioned upon a full accounting and payment to the person entitled thereto of money, property or other matters coming into the licensee’s possession through bail bond transactions under the license.
(2) The bond shall be in favor of the State and shall specifically authorize recovery by the Commissioner of the damages sustained if the licensee violates any of the terms of the license or the applicable laws and regulations of this State.
(3) The aggregate liability of the surety for all damages shall not exceed the amount of the bond.
(4) The bond must remain in force until released by the Commissioner, or cancelled by the surety. The surety may cancel the bond upon 30-days’ written notice to the licensee and the Commissioner provided that the surety shall remain liable for any obligation arising under the bond prior to the effective date of cancellation or termination.
(c) [Repealed.]
