Details for California manufacturers and importers

The current directory security provision is Revenue and Taxation Code section 30165.1(c)(6). The posted model and older regulation use an earlier paragraph number. Have the Attorney General identify the required box or boxes on JUS-TOB14. Business and Professions Code section 22979(a)(4) separately provides the bond alternative to the sovereign-immunity waiver.

The amount is the greater of $50,000 or the escrow required from the largest of the manufacturer's most recent five calendar years' California sales, including its predecessor form. For the immunity-alternative route, the statute also refers to the manufacturer or importer. Have the Attorney General confirm the applicant-specific calculation and any interaction between required instruments; do not automatically add two minimums or apply an offset yourself.

The current directory statute defines newly qualified by absence from the Directory during the last twelve months and provides for security for the next three years of listing, or longer for elevated risk. That is not an automatic three-year bond cancellation. JUS-TOB14 continues until withdrawal, caps the surety's accumulated aggregate at the penal sum, and requires sixty days' advance registered-mail notice to the Attorney General's Tobacco Litigation and Enforcement Section, counting from the day after receipt. Existing obligations remain protected through the applicable limitation period even if a cause of action has not yet accrued.

Match the legal licensed name and actual business address. The model gives entity-specific principal signatures; a corporation uses its President or Vice President, seal and Secretary or Assistant Secretary attestation. The authorized surety signer supplies its title, seal, acknowledgment and original or certified authority. Follow current Attorney General filing directions; the selected model directs the completed bond to the Tobacco Litigation and Enforcement Section.
