A. Each private driving school shall execute a good and sufficient surety bond with a surety company qualified to do business in Louisiana as surety, in the sum of twenty thousand dollars if such surety bond is available for purchase. Such bond shall name the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, office of motor vehicles, as obligee and shall be subject to the condition that, if the private driving school or any of the private driving school’s instructors fail to perform any services the school agreed to provide to a student or a student’s parent, that student, or the parent in case the student is a minor, may recover the private driving school fees from the bond by filing a claim through the department against the bond. If the company fails to meet the conditions of the bond, the obligation of the surety shall remain in full force and effect. A private driving school with multiple locations shall furnish only a single surety bond.

            B. The surety bond furnished as required in this Section shall be delivered to and filed with the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, office of motor vehicles.
