What this bond does
Provide the State's commercial cannabis security for the identified distribution or retail licensee and covered premises, using DCC's accepted undertaking and required coverage.
- Who needs it
- Distribution and retail applicants or licensees matching their actual business activities, license numbers and premises to a DCC bond request. Confirm each licensed role rather than relying on the catalog's combined title.
- Who it protects
- The DCC-selected bond names the State of California and addresses violation-related cannabis destruction, MAUCRSA compliance and amounts due to the State under its condition. It does not independently guarantee a customer's delivery or refund.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does the combined title grant distribution and retail authority?
No. DCC issues licenses for the actual activities. Its distribution and retail categories have different permissions, and more than one activity may require more than one license. Match the licenses and covered premises rather than treating a bond application as licensing approval.
Can Type 13 be treated like full Type 11 distribution?
DCC's guide lists Type 13 for transport between cultivation, manufacturing and distribution premises. The Type 11 list also includes finished goods to retail, storage and arranging testing. Confirm the actual licensed work before preparing the bond schedule.
