The bond must be executed by the applicant and by a surety company authorized to conduct a surety business in the state. The bond must be submitted as required under 3 AAC 11.010(a)(9).

(b) The bond must run to the benefit of the department, the Department of Law, or another person with a claim for relief because of a violation of AS 06.50 or this chapter by a licensee.

(c) The bond must provide that

(d) If a licensee receives notice of an action that could result in recovery against a bond, the licensee must provide the department with written notice by regular or electronic mail not later than 10 days after receipt.

(e) A licensee must ensure that the full amount of a required bond is in effect continuously while the licensee is licensed and for a three-year period after the department revokes or otherwise terminates a license. If a surety makes a payment under a bond, the licensee must immediately file a new bond with the department. Failure to maintain a surety bond at the level required in this section is grounds for immediate suspension of the deferred deposit advance license under AS 06.50.300.

(f) If the department receives notice of a final order of a court under (c) of this section or submits a final order of the department to the surety under (c) of this section, the department may require the deferred deposit advance licensee to file a new bond. If a new bond is required, the licensee must file a new bond in the required amount not later than 30 days after receiving notice from the department.

(f) Upon receipt of a notice of cancellation from a surety, the department will notify the deferred deposit advance licensee listed as the principal on the bond through the registry. The notice will inform the licensee of the effective date of the cancellation of the bond, that the deferred deposit advance license will be suspended under AS 06.50.300 on the effective date of cancellation, and that the licensee may retain the license if the licensee furnishes the department with an equivalent bond before the effective date of the cancellation.

(g) The remedies provided under this section are cumulative and nonexclusive and do not affect any other remedy available at law.
