Any surety company that pays a claim against the bond of a licensee shall notify the department, in writing, that it has paid such a claim and shall state the reason and the amount of the claim. Any surety company that cancels the bond of a licensee shall notify the department, in writing, of the cancellation, giving the reason for that cancellation. If a claim is made to the department against the bond, which claim is based upon a final judgment of a court of record of this state, the dealer shall execute an additional bond for the amount necessary to maintain such security at the original level.
