What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Illinois does not license electrical contractors at the state level, so the City of Marion runs its own program: an applicant sits for an exam through the Building and Code Services department, then licenses through the City Clerk's office on the condition of a $20,000 surety bond under Chapter 11, Article A of the City Code.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Marion (the obligee), with property owners and the City's electrical safety code as the protected interest. If a bonded electrical contractor's work causes damage the licensing requirement is meant to guard against, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $20,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $20,000 filing continuous.
