How Does a Connecticut CLEC Bond Work? 

A CLEC bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the telecommunications service provider filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for complying with all applicable ordinances, rules and regulations.

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.

These bonds expire annually. To renew your competitive local exchange company bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

After renewing, you’ll receive a continuation certificate to file with the as proof of ongoing coverage.
