What is the purpose of a California Special Lines’ Broker Bond?
The California Special Lines’ Broker Bond is required by the state of California. If you want to be a Special Lines Broker in the state, you will need to be licensed. A surety bond is one of the 
requirements for licensing. A special lines broker is someone who does the following:
- Insurance against perils of navigation, transit or transportation upon hulls, freights or disbursements, or other shipowner interests
- Aircraft insurance
- Insurance on property or operations of railroads engaged in interstate commerce
This surety bond is related to the insurance industry and affects special lines brokers, ensuring that the broker will account to any person requesting him to obtain insurance, the moneys and premiums collected by him or his company (does not pertain to life insurance). The required bond amount is $10,000. The surety bond must be issued by a company licensed to do business in the state.
