Reviewer notes

Re-fetched 2026-08-31; subdivisions (a) through (d) read verbatim. This is a definitional and classification provision. It does not license or regulate anyone, so it is not used to support any licensing statement, and an inference about surety being a regulated class was removed from the claims array. It says nothing about bail bonds.
