SPRINGFIELD, IL – A new law signed this week by Governor Pat Quinn allows Illinois landowners or lessees the option of using purple paint markings on trees or posts on their property as a “no trespassing” notice.
A Bond Claim Must be filed within 180 days from the last date of furnishing work or materials on the job. Must be served in writing on the Secretary of Transportation, with copies to the prime contractor, subcontractor and the bonding company. May need to be followed up by a lawsuit.
Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.
You must complete either Form REG-4-A or Form REG-4-D to obtain a bond. You will not be issued a certificate of registration and cannot be legally registered to do business in Illinois until we receive your bond. How do I obtain a bond using Form REG-4-A?
A bond's credit quality is usually determined by independent bond rating agencies, such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P). These agencies classify bonds into 2 basic categories—investment-grade and below-investment-grade—and provide detailed ratings within each.
The bond must be written by a surety company licensed through the California Department of Insurance. The business name and license number on the bond must correspond exactly with the business name and license number on the CSLB's records. The bond must have the signature of the attorney-in-fact for the surety company.
