Garment Industrybonds are required by The California Department Of Industrial Relations to comply with the state, city, county, or federal government licensing requirements. The obligee is the government entity requiring you to get the bond. There are a variety of types of surety bonds, each with its own requirements and uses. Each entity has their own Garment Industry Bond Form, so you will need a different Garment Industry bond for each state you will be transacting business in.
