What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia’s DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program — often called DUI school — is administered by the Department of Driver Services’ Regulatory Compliance Division. An operator must file a $10,000 surety bond for each program location, with DDS named as the obligee.
The bond is a compliance guarantee: it backs the operator’s obligation to follow O.C.G.A. Title 40 and the DDS program rules — including the assessment and intervention components and the per-student state fee. If the operator violates the program law, DDS and harmed parties can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Each program location needs its own bond, written by a company authorized to do business in Georgia.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with DDS. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your risk reduction program application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
