What it is and who needs it.
What the anatomical bond actually covers
Missouri’s State Anatomical Board has charge of the disposal and delivery of donated dead human bodies to the educational institutions entitled to receive them for the study of anatomy, under Chapter 194, RSMo. Before an institution may receive bodies, RSMo §194.140 requires it to file a bond.
The bond is filed by the institution (through its president and secretary, or dean and registrar) and must be approved by the Attorney General in the penal sum of $1,000. It is conditioned that all bodies received are used only for the promotion or application of anatomical knowledge and science — and the statute prohibits selling, buying, or trafficking in such bodies, or transmitting them to any place outside the state.
This is a narrow, fixed-penal-sum bond — the statute names $1,000, so enter that unless the board has asked you for more. We issue it from $100 — no credit check up to $25,000, and pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

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
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
