What this bond does
N.J.A.C. 13:45B-6.3 applies the bond requirements in 13:45B-2.3 to booking and entertainment agencies. The condition covers compliance with the governing Act and payment of the described damages from misrepresentation, deceptive conduct or unlawful acts or omissions in the licensed business.
- Who needs it
- The actual booking or entertainment agency named in the Division of Consumer Affairs licensing request. The Division also regulates ticket resellers, but those registration and additional-bond rules are not interchangeable with this agency license.
- Who it protects
- The condition addresses injury caused by licensed persons, agents or employees acting within the scope of their employment, as described in the rule. The injured person applies to the Director for leave to sue on the agency bond; it is not a blanket guarantee that every show takes place or every artist earns an expected income.

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
Why does the booking rule refer to an employment-agency section?
Section 13:45B-6.3 expressly incorporates the bond requirements in 13:45B-2.3. That reference supplies the bond requirements; it does not make every personnel-service or ticket-registration form interchangeable.
Can an injured person simply use the ticket-agent procedure?
The agency rule describes applying to the Director for leave to sue after a proven breach and injury, followed by suit in the person's name. Follow the procedure for this actual licensed agency.
Does the 90-day retention rule set the claim deadline?
It says how long the Section retains the bond after license expiration or revocation. It should not be treated as an automatic extension of coverage or a separate legal filing deadline.
