* § 25.15. Bond. The secretary of state shall require the applicant for a license to file with the application therefor a bond in due form to the people of New York in the penal sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, with two or more sufficient sureties or a duly authorized surety company, which bond shall be approved by the secretary of state. Each such bond shall be conditioned that the obligor will not be guilty of any fraud or extortion, will not violate directly or indirectly any of the provisions of this article or any of the provisions of the license or certificate provided for in this article, will comply with the provisions of this article and will pay all damages occasioned to any person by reason of any misstatement, misrepresentation, fraud or deceit or any unlawful act or omission of such obligor, his or her agents or employees, while acting within the scope of their employment, made, committed or omitted in connection with the provisions of this article in the business conducted under such license or caused by any other violation of this article in carrying on the business for which such license is granted. One or more recoveries or payments upon such bond shall not vitiate the same but such bond shall remain in full force and effect, provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such recoveries or payments shall not exceed the penal sum thereof. Before the secretary shall draw upon such bond, the secretary shall issue a determination in writing which shall include the basis of such action. The secretary shall notify in writing the licensee of any such determination and shall afford the licensee an opportunity to respond within twenty days of the receipt of such determination. In no event may the bond be drawn upon in less than twenty-five days after the service of a determination to the licensee. Such written notice may be served by delivery thereof personally to the licensee, or by certified mail to the last known business address of such licensee. Only upon such determination of the secretary shall moneys be withdrawn from the bond. Upon the commencement of any action or actions against the surety upon any such bond for a sum or sums aggregating or exceeding the amount of such bond the secretary of state shall require a new and additional bond in like amount as the original one, which shall be filed with the department of state within thirty days after the demand therefor. Failure to file such bond within such period shall constitute cause for the revocation of the license pursuant to section 25.31 of this article theretofore issued to the licensee upon whom such demand shall have been made. Any suit or action against the surety on any bond required by the provisions of this section shall be commenced within one year after the cause of action shall have accrued. * NB Effective until May 16, 2011 * § 25.15.
