Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The qualified agent shall be responsible for all
				  transactions, recordkeeping, and the employees of each office he or she is
				  licensed as the qualified agent.
Under 18.185.010(5), a qualified agent is "an owner, sole
				  proprietor, partner, manager, officer, or chief operating officer of a
				  corporation who meets the requirements set forth in this chapter for obtaining
				  a bail bond agency license." The qualified agent essentially serves as
				  "manager" of the bail bond agency, and is responsible for all bail bond
				  transactions conducted by the bail bond agents employed by the agency. See
				  RCW
				  18.185.100 (qualified agent shall keep
				  required records and ensure safekeeping of collateral or security);
				  RCW
				  18.185.220 (every branch office must have a
				  qualified agent serving as manager);
Each branch office must be managed by a qualified agent. A
				  qualified agent may serve as a qualified agent of multiple offices. Although
				  the qualified agent remains ultimately responsible for bail bond transactions,
				  a qualified agent is permitted to delegate managerial functions to licensed
				  bail bond agents. However, a qualified agent may not delegate managerial or
				  supervisory functions to unlicensed staff because such functions necessarily
				  involve participation in the sale or issuance of bail bonds.
Allowing unlicensed staff to participate in the sale or
				  issuance of bail bonds could lead to charges of aiding or abetting unlicensed
				  activity in violation of
				  RCW
				  18.185.110(10) and
				  18.235.130(9).
Any agency going out of business in the state of Washington
				  shall continue to be obligated on all outstanding bonds until the director
				  receives notification from the jurisdiction in which the agency/branch offices
				  are located that all bonds have been exonerated and the department of licensing
				  has received no complaints from indemnitor about the return of collateral. The
				  director may require an audit of the closing agency at any time upon
				  notification of the closing of the agency.
