About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia regulates trauma scene waste management practitioners — the people who clean up blood and other potentially infectious material after a death, crime, or accident — through the Secretary of State. Registration is conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond payable to the Governor for the use and benefit of any person harmed by the practitioner.

The Secretary of State approves the bond as to form and the solvency of the surety, and neither the practitioner nor the surety may cancel it without at least 30 days' written certified notice to the Secretary of State. The bond is a separate requirement from the statute's liability-insurance mandate.

Note the statute also requires at least $100,000 in liability insurance per occurrence covering the practitioner, employees, and independent contractors — that is a different policy we do not write here. This page is the $25,000 surety bond; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

O.C.G.A. § 43-46A-4O.C.G.A. § 43-46A-4 requires each trauma scene waste management practitioner to submit to the Secretary of State a $25,000 surety bond payable to the Governor for the benefit of any person harmed, approved by the Secretary of State as to form and surety solvency, with at least 30 days' certified written notice before cancellation. The same section separately requires at least $100,000 in per-occurrence liability insurance.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia trauma scene waste bond?The premium is $250, set by our carrier for the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for everyone. The $25,000 amount is set by O.C.G.A. 43-46A-4, so there is no quote process — the price you see is the checkout price.

Is the bond the same as the insurance requirement?No. The statute requires two separate things: a $25,000 surety bond (this page) payable to the Governor for harmed persons, and at least $100,000 of liability insurance per occurrence. The insurance is a separate policy.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for this bond. Most applications approve instantly.

How is the bond canceled?Neither you nor the surety can cancel without giving the Secretary of State at least 30 days’ written notice by certified letter, so a registered practitioner is never suddenly left without a bond on file.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
