Section 5.93.555. Duties of license vendor.

	(a)  A license vendor shall  
		(1) carefully and properly handle, and account to the commissioner for, all licenses and licensing materials provided to the vendor by the department and all money received by the vendor for licenses; and  
		(2) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the contract between the commissioner and the license vendor.  
	(b)  Except as otherwise provided in this section, the commissioner will provide a blanket bond in a form and containing terms established by the commissioner for each license vendor in an amount of not less than $5,000. An applicant as a license vendor must complete all forms necessary to obtain coverage under the bond. If, based on the past or expected performance of a license vendor, the commissioner determines that the amount of money for licenses that the license vendor will handle during the term of the license vendor's appointment is more than four times the amount of the bond coverage under this subsection, and that the interests of the state are not otherwise adequately protected, the commissioner may require the applicant to post a bond in an amount established by the commissioner.  
	(c)  The commissioner may require that the license vendor establish a bank account to which the license vendor must deposit all fees collected for licenses. If a license vendor is required to establish a bank account under this section, the license vendor shall add the commissioner as an authorized signature on the account and must provide the commissioner with all information necessary to access that account. The commissioner may instead require that the license vendor deposit fees collected directly to an account established by the commissioner for that purpose. Requirements established under this subsection will be stated in the contract or in an amended contract between the commissioner and the license vendor.  
	(d)  A license vendor may not issue or assist in the issuance of a license to an individual that the vendor believes or has reason to believe has attempted to take or has taken fish or game for which the license was not acquired by the individual before the hunting or fishing activity.
