What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kentucky licenses pharmaceutical wholesale distributors through the Board of Pharmacy. Under KRS 315.402 and 201 KAR 2:105, an applicant for a wholesale distributor permit must submit a surety bond of not less than $25,000, held and firmly bound unto the people of the Commonwealth and the Board.
The bond is a compliance guarantee standing behind your obligations under Kentucky pharmacy and drug-distribution law. It protects the Commonwealth and the public if a wholesale distributor violates the law governing the distribution of prescription drugs.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Board of Pharmacy for the Commonwealth (the obligee). The regulation also allows other approved security — insurance, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a trust deposit — but a surety bond is usually cheapest. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
