As required in another state (Idaho) for licensure, the board should require bonding of operators, soil evaluators, and installers:
Bond Required
. At the time of application, all applicants shall deliver a bond in a form approved by the Board in sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for a standard and basic alternative system installer’s registration permit, or in the sum of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for standard, basic and complex alternative system installer’s registration permit. The bond will be executed by a surety company duly authorized to do business in the state of Idaho and must run concurrent with the installer’s registration permit to be approved by the Director guaranteeing the faithful performance of all work undertaken under the provisions of the installer’s registration permit. Any person who suffers damage as the result of the negligent or wrongful acts of the registrant or by his failure to competently perform any of the work agreed to be done under the terms of the registration permit shall, in addition to other legal remedies, have a right of action in his own name on the bond for all damages not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) for standard and basic alternative systems or fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for complex alternative systems. The maximum liability of the surety and/or sureties on the bond, regardless of the number of claims filed against the bond, shall not exceed the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for standard and basic alternative systems or fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for complex alternative systems.
