§ 5743.  Issuance of license.

(a)  General rule.--The Insurance Department, upon receipt of:

(1)  an application for registration and licensure as a professional bondsman; and

(2)  an annual license fee of $50;

shall, if it approves the application, register the applicant as a professional bondsman and issue him a license.

(b)  Duration.--Each license shall be valid for one year following the date of issue.

(c)  Nontransferable.--No license issued under this subchapter shall be assigned or transferred.

1981 Partial Repeal.  Section 6 of Act 48 of 1981 provided that section 5743(a)(2) is repealed insofar as it establishes a set fee for any activity inconsistent with the fees set forth in Act 48 which established fees for Commonwealth agencies. Section 612-A of The Administrative Code of 1929, added by Act 48, authorizes the Insurance Department to charge a fee of $100 for an initial license for a professional bondsman and $50 for an annual renewal of the license.
