§ 1575 Security Deposit Maintenance
If a security deposit loses value and falls below the required amount, you have to add more money or securities right away.
A business puts a $10,000 bond as a security for a state permit. After a market drop, the bond is now worth only $7,000, which is less than the $10,000 the law says is needed.
The business must quickly add $3,000 (or other securities) so the total deposit is back up to $10,000. The state commissioner can check the bond’s value now or later and can charge a reasonable fee for that check.
