The bond shall run to the state for the use of the state and of any person or persons who may have cause of action against the obligor of the bond under the provisions of this title. Such bond shall be conditional that the obligor will faithfully conform to and abide by the provisions of this title and to all rules lawfully made by the Administrator hereunder and will pay to the state and to any such person or persons any and all amounts of money that may become due or owing to the state or to such person or persons from such obligor under and by virtue of the provisions of this title during the calendar year for which the bond is given.
