How long must a disciplinary bond generally be maintained after it is required?
Explanation
B&P §7071.8 lets the Registrar require a disciplinary bond of at least $25,000, up to ten times the §7071.6 bond, as a condition of issuing, reinstating, or continuing a license, for the period the Registrar prescribes — commonly two years or more. (a) is far too short to serve the section's protective purpose. (b) ties the bond to the renewal cycle, which the section does not. (d) overshoots: the bond is a condition for a set period, not a permanent brand on the license.
