§ 12-28-1165. Licensee to file a new bond or additional deposit when required.

(A) The department may require a licensee to file a new bond with a satisfactory surety in the same form and amount if:

(1) liability upon the previous bond is discharged or reduced by the judgment rendered, payment made, or otherwise disposed of;

(2) in the opinion of the department, any surety on the previous bond becomes unsatisfactory. If the new bond is unsatisfactory, the department shall cancel the license.
