Every applicant for a license to act as a bail agent shall file with the commissioner a notice of appointment executed by a surety insurer or its authorized representative authorizing that applicant to execute undertakings of bail and to solicit and negotiate those undertakings on its behalf. Additional notices of appointment may be filed by other surety insurers, upon the payment for each additional notice of the fees specified in subdivision (a) of Section 1811, before the license is issued and thereafter, as long as the license remains in force. Each appointment shall, by its terms, continue in force until any of the following occur:
(a) Termination of the bail agent’s license.
(b) The end of the license term, if the fee provided in subdivision (e) of Section 1811 for filing a renewal application is not paid.
(c) The filing of a notice of termination by the insurer, its representative, or by the bail agent.
