Continuing Education Information
Continuing Education Requirements
Each year, every bail bond licensee shall complete at least three hours of continuing education in subjects related to the duties and responsibilities of a runner or bail bondsman before the renewal of the license on June 30 every year.
The continuing education year for bail bond licensees is July 1 to June 30.
A person who receives his first license on or after January 1 of any year does not have to comply with continuing education until the period between his first and second license renewals. Contact ASD for clarification if you think this situation applies to you.
Sanctions for noncompliance with Continuing Education
If the bail bond licensee does not complete the continuing education requirements by June 30 annually, the license(s) will lapse with an effective date of June 30. You will be required to re-apply as if you never held a license(s). This process involves the following:
- Complete the prelicensing education course.
- Submit a complete application with fee, affidavits, and electronically submit fingerprints.
- Pass the state examination.
