Sec. 28.6. Bail agent offices

(a)

(1) At least one supervising person shall be responsible for each place of business established by any bail agent in this State. Where a bail agent maintains only one place of business, the bail agent, if an individual, or any sublicensee or licensed partner, as appropriate, shall be deemed to be supervising persons. At least one supervising person shall be present in the satellite office for which the supervising person is responsible during all or a substantial part of the business hours each day.

(2) A supervising person may be responsible for more than one place of business of the same bail agent or any other bail agent if at any one time, only one place of business of the locations for which the supervising person is responsible is open to the public.

(b) Every bail agent that maintains more than one place of business shall give written notice to the superintendent. The notice shall specify the location of each satellite office and the supervising person or persons who are responsible for each satellite office. The notice shall include the license numbers of the bail agent and supervising person, and shall be signed by the bail agent, or a sublicensee or a licensed partner, where appropriate, and by the supervising person. The bail agent shall give notice within ten days following the establishment of a new location or the replacement of a supervising person, or 30 days following any change in address or closure of an existing satellite office.

(c) In a headquarters location and each satellite office, the following shall be prominently displayed:

(1) the license of every bail agent doing a bail business at that location or office; and

(2) a sign that states that any complaint against the bail agent, insurer or charitable bail organization may be filed with the department at the appropriate mailing or web address, or by calling the department’s consumer hotline at the appropriate phone number.
