Relates to licensing requirements for bail bond agents

S 5328 amends New York's insurance law to update licensing requirements for bail bond agents. It directly affects individuals and businesses seeking to become or renew bail bond agent licenses. Key provisions include requiring a new 24-hour pre-licensing course covering state laws, bail procedures, safety practices, and court processes; mandating fingerprint-based criminal history checks; and requiring a 75% score on a written exam. Renewal licenses also now need 12 hours of continuing education. These changes apply to all new licenses and renewals issued on or after the bill's effective date.
