Abstract: Requires prospective apprentices in the Bail Bond Apprentice Program to

Present law provides for the creation of a Bail Bond Apprentice Program, whereby
apprentices complete the registered insurance producer and bail producer prelicensing
program under the instruction of a supervising bail producer.
Proposed law requires the apprentice to register his name, home address, telephone number,
as well as his date of birth and social security number with the commissioner of insurance.
Further requires the apprentice to disclose the date he will be entering the program and to
give contact information for his supervising licensed bail bond producer. Otherwise retains
present law.
Present law requires the supervising bail bond producer to maintain an apprentice's work
hour records, including time sheets and pay stubs. Such records are to be available for
examination and review by the Dept. of Insurance. HLS 12RS-580 ORIGINAL
