                  An act relating to employment agencies; providing for 
                  waiver of bond requirement in certain circumstances; 
                  amending Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 184.30, 
                  subdivision 1. 
        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
           Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 184.30, 
        subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
           Subdivision 1.  Every application for an employment 
        agency's license, and every annual report required to be filed 
        under section 184.22, subdivision 2, must be accompanied by a 
        surety bond approved by the department in the amount of $10,000 
        for each location; except, that for a search firm, the bond is 
        required only for the first five years of registration.  For a 
        search firm that was previously licensed as an employment 
        agency, the bond is required only until the firm has met the 
        bond requirement as an agency or as a search firm for a total of 
        at least five years.  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 any contract made by the employment agent 
        in the conduct of the business.  A person damaged by a breach of 
        any condition of the bond may bring an action on the bond, and 
        successive actions may be maintained on it.
