Master plumber's and gas fitter's bond.
In order to protect the public from damages arising from plumbing and gas fitting or plumbing work and gas fitting work failing to comply with the requirements of any state laws applicable thereto, or with the ordinances of any municipal corporation applicable thereto, it is hereby provided that before any person engages in the business of master plumber or master gas fitter, he shall execute and deposit with the judge of probate in the county of his principal place of business a bond in the sum of $2,000.00. Such bond shall be a cash bond of $2,000.00 or executed by a surety authorized and qualified to write surety bonds in the State of Alabama, and shall be approved by the probate judge. Such bond shall be conditioned upon all plumbing and gas fitting work done or supervised by such master plumber or master gas fitter complying with the provisions of any laws or ordinances relating to plumbing and gas fitting and applicable thereto. Action on such bond may be brought against the principal and surety thereon in the name of, and for the benefit of, any person who suffers damages as a consequence of said master plumber's or master gas fitter's work not conforming to the requirements of any laws or ordinances pertaining to plumbing and gas fitting and applicable thereto, provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the surety to all persons so damaged shall, in no event, exceed the sum of said bond.
