Any person operating a livestock market in this state shall make and execute a bond in favor of the State of Alabama, which bond shall be made by a surety company qualified to do business in the State of Alabama and such bond shall be filed in the office of the commissioner. The minimum amount of such bond shall be $5,000.00 or such greater sum not to exceed $50,000.00. The exact amount of said bond shall be determined by dividing the gross amount of business done by such livestock market during the preceding 12 months or such part thereof as the livestock market was engaged in business by the number of days on which sales were made, and such bond shall be not less than the nearest multiple of $1,000.00. Any bond accepted under the provisions of this section shall be not less than $5,000.00 nor more than $50,000.00. In the event the livestock market has not engaged in business during the year preceding the date of its application for a permit, the amount of the bond shall be determined by the commissioner upon the basis of anticipated business to be done during the year for which a permit is applied.

The commissioner is hereby authorized to accept a bond made by any livestock market pursuant to the bonding provisions of the federal Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921, as amended, and any livestock market presenting such a bond shall be deemed to have complied with the bonding provisions of this section; provided, that the amount of such bond shall equal or be greater than the amount required under this section. The commissioner is authorized to be designated as trustee in any bond or principal-surety contract or he shall be authorized to designate the director or chief of the division of the department which handles the administration of this division to be designated and named as trustee in any bond accepted as authorized in this section which is made by any livestock market as required under the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921, as amended.
