B&P §7071.5 lists who the §7071.6 bond is for: homeowners and single-family owners damaged by a violation, anyone damaged by a willful violation or by the licensee's fraud, and employees for unpaid wages and fringe benefits. (b) is the wage-bond misconception — employees are beneficiaries, but not the only ones; the wage-and-benefit-only bond is the LLC's separate $100,000 bond under §7071.6.5. (c) imports lien practice: a preliminary notice preserves mechanics lien and stop payment notice rights, not bond claims. (d) reverses the instrument — a surety bond protects the public from the contractor, and the surety may seek indemnity back from the contractor; it is not the contractor's own liability insurance.
