Founded in 1942, the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP) is
the voice of surety bond producers with government and industry, assuming a
vital leadership role in promoting and defending suretyship in the functioning
of government and commerce.
The strength and fulfillment of NASBP’s government relations initiatives
resides in the many efforts of its volunteer members, who work with professional
association staff to accomplish NASBP’s annual government relations agenda for
action at all levels of government. Click

such as model letters and educational articles on surety topics, for NASBP
members’ use in educating their legislators, clients and others. NASBP mobilizes
its grassroot networks at federal, state, and local levels to address
legislation and regulations impacting surety bonding and other related areas.
Of critical importance are NASBP's efforts to preserve and defend
statutory bonding requirements, such as the federal Miller Act and state “Little
Miller Acts.” Throughout the year NASBP staff track and comment on legislation
and regulations at state and federal levels.
NASBP’s government relations efforts also include the support and management
of NASBP’s Political Action Committee, the SuretyPAC.
The SuretyPAC supports Congressional candidates who understand the value that
surety bonding brings to the efficient functioning of government and commerce,
benefiting their communities and constituencies.
