A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR AN EXAMINATION AND AN EXAMINATION FEE FOR SURETY BONDSMEN LICENSE APPLICANTS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Article 71 of Chapter 58 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 58-71-71.  Surety bondsman examination; fees.
Each applicant for a license to be a surety bondsman under Article 33 of this Chapter shall be required to appear in person and take a written examination prepared by the Commissioner testing  the applicant's ability and qualifications.  Each applicant shall be eligible for examination 30 days after the date the application is received by the Commissioner.  The examination shall be held at a time and place designated by the Commissioner.  Each applicant shall be given notice of the designated time and place not less than 15 days before the examination.  The fee for the examination shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00).  The examination fee shall be nonrefundable.  The failure of an applicant to pass an examination shall not preclude the applicant from taking subsequent examinations; provided, however, that at least one year must intervene between examinations."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective July 1, 1993.
