5743 - Issuance of license.

     § 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  Section 6 of Act 48 of 1981 provided     that section 5743(a)(2) is repealed insofar as it establishes a     set fee for any activity inconsistent with the fees set forth in     Act 48 which established fees for Commonwealth agencies.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.
