What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
Illinois regulates the interstate and intrastate movement of livestock through the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Animal Health and Welfare. Animals moving on a short, defined trip can travel on a 72-hour trip hauling permit rather than a full dealer or transporter license, and the Department can authorize agents to issue those permits.
When an agent collects permit fees and handles permit paperwork on the State’s behalf, the Department can condition that authorization on a surety bond. The bond stands behind the fees you collect and your faithful compliance with the permit program — it protects the State, not you.
Because the requirement comes from the Department’s authorization rather than a single headline statute, the exact bond amount is whatever your authorization names. Send us the figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
