Rider for General Use with Bond

Form P&SP-2100

A rider amending a surety bond requires complete and correct information to be submitted to the Packers and Stockyards Program on form P&SP-2100.

If any information is missing or incorrect, the Packers and Stockyards Program will return the bond rider form to the principal or surety for completion or correction. If the trustee’s signature has not been obtained, the regional office will obtain the trustee’s signature, and will ensure that the trustee retains an original copy of the rider for his or her files.

Operating without proper registration and bond may subject the principal to a fine of not more than $11,000 for each violation.
