Purpose of the Surety Bond

If a certified public weigher fails to meet their obligations, such as by providing inaccurate weight certifications, the aggrieved party can file a claim against the bond to recover financial losses. This protects individuals who rely on the accuracy of certified weight measurements. If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal (licensee).
