What it is and who needs it.
What the PUC bond actually covers
Rhode Island regulates public utilities and intrastate carriers through the Public Utilities Commission and the Division of Public Utilities and Carriers under Title 39 (Public Utilities and Carriers). The Division licenses and oversees motor carriers of property and passengers — including household goods movers, tow operators, freight haulers, taxis, and limousines — under chapters 39-12, 39-13, and 39-14.
As a condition of operating authority, the Division can require a regulated carrier or utility to post a surety bond. Depending on the authority, the bond backs financial responsibility, compliance with the Division’s tariffs and orders, or protection of the public and customers who do business with the carrier.
Because the bond requirement and amount are set by the Division on your specific certificate, license, or order, there is no single statewide figure. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the Division named; the application collects no credit information.
