This bill aims to revise existing laws related to bail bonds by introducing a new Surety Bail Bond Insurance License. It establishes the application and training requirements necessary for obtaining this license, thereby ensuring that providers meet specific standards before offering surety bail bond services. Additionally, the bill grants arrest authority to surety bail bond insurance providers, enhancing their ability to manage the bonds they issue.

The legislation also includes amendments to several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically 33-17-212, 33-26-108, 46-9-401, and 46-9-510, to incorporate these changes. The bill is designed to create a more regulated environment for bail bond services, ultimately aiming to improve accountability and oversight within the industry.
