What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio regulates telephone solicitors (telemarketers) under the Consumer Protection Section of the Attorney General’s office, and ORC 4719.04 bars anyone from acting as a telephone solicitor without first obtaining a $50,000 surety bond issued by a carrier authorized in Ohio. A copy is filed with the Attorney General.
The bond runs in favor of any person, and of the state for the benefit of any person, injured by a violation of ORC 4719.01 to 4719.18 — Ohio’s telephone solicitation law. If a solicitor breaks those rules and harms a consumer, the consumer can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The statute also requires the bond to stay in effect for at least two years after you stop soliciting, so it carries a tail beyond your active registration period.
