Commissioner of any changes in the bond of any licensee. The

nonresident surplus lines insurance brokers.

3. All surety protection required by the provisions of this

section is to inure to the benefit of any party aggrieved by the

acts of a broker arising pursuant to conduct as a licensed surplus

lines insurance broker.
