If you are engaged as an Gas broker or aggregator operating in Maryland, you are required under the Annotated Code of Maryland section 7-507 to file a Maryland Gas Broker or Aggregator Bond as a condition of licensure.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The Maryland Gas Broker or Aggregator Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.
By possessing a Maryland Gas Broker or Aggregator Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
