Arkansas Code Title 23. Public Utilities and Regulated Industries § 23-37-314. Blanket indemnity bond

(a) Every association shall maintain on file with the Supervisor of Savings and Loan Associations an effective blanket indemnity bond with a corporate surety protecting the association from loss by or through any fraud, dishonesty, forgery or alteration, larceny, theft, embezzlement, robbery, burglary, holdup, wrongful or unlawful abstraction, misappropriation, or any other dishonest or criminal action or omission by any director, officer, or employee of the association.

(b) Associations which employ collection agents, who for any reason are not covered by a bond as required in subsection (a) of this section, shall provide for the bonding of each collection agent in an amount equal to at least twice the average monthly collection of the agent. Collection agents shall be required to make settlement with the association at least monthly. No bond coverage will be required of any agent which is a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or an institution insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.

(c) The amounts and forms of the bonds and sufficiency of the surety thereupon shall be approved by the supervisor. All of the bonds shall provide that a cancellation thereof either by the surety or the insured shall not become effective unless and until thirty (30) days' notice in writing first shall have been given to the supervisor, unless he or she approves the cancellation earlier.
