California Code, Financial Code - FIN § 12223

The commissioner may require a licensee, in addition to the bond provided in Section 12206, to obtain an adequate fidelity bond for each officer, employee, agent, or any person having access to funds collected by or for the licensee or having authority to draw against such funds if in the commissioner's opinion such a bond is necessary for the protection of the public.  The bond shall be for the protection of the public against loss suffered through embezzlement by any person having access to funds collected by or for the licensee or having authority to draw against such funds, or from mysterious disappearance, theft, holdup or burglary.  A deposit given instead of the bond required by this section shall not be deemed an asset of the licensee for the purpose of complying with Section 12205.
