What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Minnesota's electrical inspections are administered by the Department of Labor and Industry's Board of Electricity, and much of the field inspection is done by inspectors under contract with the department. Under Minn. Stat. 326B.36, every such contract inspector must give a $1,000 bond conditioned on the faithful performance of their duties.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Minnesota (the obligee). If a contract inspector fails to perform their inspection duties faithfully and the state or a third party is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
This is a small, fixed accountability bond tied to your inspection contract — not a contractor license bond. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
