Sec. 38a-660i. Provision of certain supplies to person other than licensed, appointed surety bail bond agent prohibited. Exception. Liability.

(a) No insurer, managing general agent or surety bail bond agent shall furnish to any person any blank form, application, stationery, business card or other supplies to be used in the solicitation, negotiation or execution of bail bonds unless such person is licensed to act as a surety bail bond agent and is appointed by an insurer as required in section 38a-660. Except for a power of attorney form, a bond appearance form or a collateral security or other indemnity receipt, this section shall not prohibit an unlicensed employee who is under the direct supervision and control of a licensed and appointed surety bail bond agent from possessing or working with any other form used in the surety bail bond agent's or insurer's office's daily business activities.

(b) Any insurer that furnishes any of the supplies set forth in subsection (a) of this section to any surety bail bond agent or other person not appointed by such insurer, and that accepts any bail bond business from or executes any bail bond business for such surety bail bond agent or other person, shall be liable on the bail bond to the same extent and in the same manner as if the surety bail bond agent or other person had been appointed or authorized by such insurer to act on its behalf.
