How Does a Hawaii Activity Desk Bond Work?
An activity desk bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the activity desk program filing the bond
- Obligee: The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, PVL Licensing Branch requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Act 231, SLH, 1992.
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.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your activity desk bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
