Bill > HB3111

This bill modifies provisions related to professional bail bondsmen and surety recovery agents by establishing a new "Professional Bail Bondsman and Surety Recovery Agent Licensure Act" and creating a "Board of Professional Surety Bail Bond Agents" within the division of professional registration. The bill renumbers and revises definitions for terms like "bail bond agent," "general bail bond agent," and "surety recovery agent," and outlines new requirements for licensing, including initial training and continuing education for both bail bond agents and surety recovery agents. It also details grounds for license denial, suspension, or revocation, such as criminal convictions or misconduct, and clarifies the powers and responsibilities of the new board and the department of commerce and insurance in administering these regulations. Additionally, the bill specifies procedures for apprehending fugitives and addresses financial responsibilities and record-keeping for bail bond businesses.
