City of Lafayette Cannabis/Marijuana Surety Bond
What is a City of Lafayette Cannabis Bond?
Essentially, a surety bond must first be secured by all seeking to conduct a cannabis/marijuana business in the City of Lafayette. This would ensure that the state or municipality is protected in the event that the licensing applicant engages in illegal activities. Controlling, regulating, and taxing such businesses would also guarantee the protection of the state’s residents’ safety, health, and welfare.
Who are the parties involved in a City of Lafayette Cannabis/Marijuana Surety Bond?
A City of Lafayette cannabis bond has three parties:
Principal – the surety bond applicant
Obligee – the state or municipality requiring the surety bond
Surety – the surety bond provider
The Principal shall abide by all applicable state laws as well as the terms of the license under the terms of this bond. The Surety would guarantee that the Principal will fulfill all of the responsibilities to the Obligee (the bond’s beneficiary).
If this is not the case, the Obligee has the right to file a claim against the bond. The Surety would first look at the claim’s validity. The Principal must reimburse the Surety for the full amount after the Surety has paid the Obligee.
