What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A basic driver improvement course (BDIC) is the course an eligible Michigan driver can take to keep certain civil-infraction points off their record. Sponsors that deliver these courses are approved by the Secretary of State, and approval is conditioned on a $20,000 bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Michigan (the obligee). The bond is conditioned to indemnify or reimburse the Secretary of State, or an individual taking the sponsor's course, for monetary loss caused through fraud, cheating, or misrepresentation in the conduct of the sponsor's business.
The bond must stay active for as long as you are an approved sponsor. The surety can cancel only on 30 days' notice to the Secretary of State — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
