           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 184.30,

           Subdivision 1.  Every application for an employment 
        agency's license, and every annual report required to be filed

        surety bond approved by the department in the amount of $10,000

        required only for the first five years of registration.  The 
        bond must be filed in the office of the secretary of state and 
        conditioned that the employment agency and each member, 
        shareholder, director, or officer of a firm, partnership, 
        corporation, or association operating as an employment agency 
        will comply with the provisions of sections 184.21 to 184.40 and

        bond may bring an action on the bond, and successive actions may 
        be maintained on it.
