Details for the premises and accepted State form

DCC's current Form 8113 page states the minimum security for each licensed premises and requires a corporate surety licensed to transact surety business in California. It allows an aggregated bond when multiple licenses are held by the same commercial cannabis business. Confirm the actual total and covered license/premises schedule with DCC; a single $5,000 entry does not establish that every location is covered.

The published model includes the principal's fictitious and trade names and service addresses, identifies the State as obligee and describes the destruction and compliance condition. Use the actual DCC-accepted undertaking for this option. Do not treat the Lex suffix as a substitute for the license record or assume it makes this option interchangeable with every other cannabis listing.

The model starts upon the principal's receipt of its license and runs continuously with the license and succeeding renewals until cancellation under its terms. Aggregate surety liability is limited to the bond's penal sum. The surety's thirty-day written cancellation notice goes to both DCC and the principal; cancellation does not erase liability for earlier matters.

For a new or changed bond, DCC's current instructions call for Form 27, a copy of the new or changed bond and Form 8113. Keep that Department filing separate from the provider application. An issued bond is security for the licensing process, not approval to open or expand a premises.
