The Secretary may approve such employment at any time following 
nonpayment of a reparation award, or after one year following the 
revocation or finding of flagrant or repeated violation of section 2, if 
the licensee furnishes and maintains a surety bond in form and amount 
satisfactory to the Secretary as assurance that such licensee's business 
will be conducted in accordance with this Act and that the licensee will 
pay all reparation awards, subject to its right of appeal under section 
7(c), which may be issued against it in connection with transactions 
occurring within four years following the approval. 
The Secretary 
may approve employment without a surety bond after the expiration 
of two years from the effective date of the applicable disciplinai^ 
order. 
The Secretary, based on changes in the nature and volume of 
business conducted by the licensee, may require an increase or authorize 
a reduction in the amount of the bond. A licensee who is notified by 
the Secretary to provide a bond in an increased amount shall do so 
within a reasonable time to be specified by the Secretary, and if the 
licensee fails to do so the approval of employment shall automatically 
terminate. The Secretary may, after thirty days' notice and an oppor-
tunity for a hearing, suspend or revoke the license of any licensee 
who, after the date given in such notice, continues to employ any 
person in violation of this section."
