What it is and who needs it.
What the wholesale drug distributor bond covers
Illinois licenses wholesale drug distributors — including manufacturers, repackagers, own-label distributors, brokers, drug warehouses, and pharmacies that wholesale — through the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) under the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act (225 ILCS 120). Anyone distributing prescription drugs into, out of, or within the state needs a license, and each physical facility is licensed separately.
As part of that licensure, the IDFPR rules at 68 Ill. Admin. Code 1510 require each distributor to submit a bond — or equivalent security the Department approves — in the amount of $100,000. The bond stands behind the distributor's compliance with the Act and protects the state against losses, including unpaid fees, penalties, or costs tied to violations.
Because the application field is open rather than locked, you enter the amount your specific license requires — for the great majority of distributors that's the standard $100,000. If IDFPR has set a different figure for your situation, enter that. This bond is priced on review: the application collects no credit information, and an underwriter returns your price.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
