Ohio — Medical Marijuana Testing Laboratory Bond
Ohio's current financial-responsibility rule lists $75,000 for a testing laboratory's surety-bond or escrow route before a certificate of operation is issued or renewed. Prepare the Division of Cannabis Control license record and any written approval changing the required security. A laboratory's certification and accreditation duties remain separate from buying its bond.

What this bond does
Provide financial responsibility payable to the Division for failure to comply with the covered chapter's mandates, using the actual testing-laboratory license and accepted security terms.
- Who needs it
- Ohio cannabis testing laboratories responding to the Division's issuance, renewal or security request for their designated business entity, owners and licensed premises.
- Who it protects
- Rule 1301:18-3-08 makes the security payable to the Division when the licensee fails to comply with the chapter's mandates. It requires the licensee as principal, its business name and license number, and an Ohio-licensed corporate surety. This is regulatory security, not a general promise of compensation to every laboratory customer or patient.

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
May the surety cancel on a standard thirty-day notice?
The current Ohio financial-responsibility rule requires prior written Division authorization for cancellation. Use the accepted undertaking and that authorization process; a notice period printed on another jurisdiction's form is not the Ohio requirement.
Can I reduce security because the laboratory has operated for a year?
The rule requires a Division determination of the qualifying operational and compliance record. Petition through the Division and obtain the actual approved amount. The calendar alone does not amend the security.
