What this bond does
Section 31A-11-106 sets a $100,000 deposit basis and allows a corporate-surety bond in that sum, in the commissioner's prescribed form, payable to the State. The statute also addresses a qualifying deposit waiver and increased security for a separate corporate division.
- Who needs it
- The corporation or division using Utah's dedicated motor-club certificate process. Chapter 11 does not treat mere noninsurance travel services or arranging coverage through qualified producers as automatically acting as a motor club.
- Who it protects
- The statutory condition covers faithful performance in selling or rendering motor-club service and payment of the club's imposed fines, fees or penalties. It provides the stated claimant rights and a noncumulative surety limit across years or periods. It is not auto liability or physical-damage coverage for members' vehicles.

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
Must every applicant buy the base $100,000 bond?
The statute allows a bond instead of the prescribed deposit and addresses qualifying net worth and corporate-division risk. Have the commissioner determine the actual accepted arrangement before ordering.
Is the two-year claim deadline a two-year bond option?
No. Section 31A-11-106 addresses when an action may be filed after termination. It does not select a term or create an annual increase in the surety's limit.
Does this authorize vehicle liability or physical-damage insurance?
No. Chapter 11 limits what a motor club may provide and distinguishes appropriately authorized insurers. Issuing the security does not grant auto-insurance authority or insure members' cars.
