In addition to the $25,000 Contractor License Bond, a contractor whose license has been suspended for failing to pay a final, unsatisfied construction-related judgment must post which additional security to be reinstated?

Explanation

B&P §7071.17(a) makes the board require, before it will issue, renew, reinstate or reactivate, a bond sufficient to guarantee payment of an amount equal to the unsatisfied final judgment or judgments; the applicant has 90 days to file it, it stays on file at least a year, and a notarised accord with the judgment holder may be given instead. It is in addition to the contractor's bond. A second licence bond leaves the judgment itself unsecured, and §7071.11(b) bars renewal while a judgment above the bond amount is unpaid. No $5,000 deposit option exists, and a surety release letter is a status letter rather than security.
