There are many laws that provide certain protection to consumers. In the past, a “seller of travel” provided or arranged air or sea travel. The law has been expanded to include sellers of travel who provide or arrange land and water vessel transportation services also, in most cases they are required to maintain a Seller of Travel Surety Bond.

All purchases made from sellers of travel who are located in the United States, as well as purchases by sellers of travel who sell or offer to sell from locations throughout the United States, which includes both retail and wholesale transactions, and covers sales to tours operators, consolidators, and wholesalers.

All sellers of travel must register or be licensed as a seller of travel, before they can operate lawfully or market to persons, businesses, or retail vendors and some states require a Seller of Travel to Register and in most cases provide a Seller of Travel Bond. Registration is not the same as licensing which usually involves some review and approval. So long as the Seller of Travel discloses the necessary information in its application, a registration number will be issued.

However, in the event a Seller of Travel does not provide the tickets or lodging, and the purchaser is having problems locating that Seller of Travel, having a Seller of Travel Bond will protect the consumer and the information in the registration file will help in determining who actually made the sale. The purpose of registration and or licensing is to have adequate information about both reputable and dishonest sellers of travel, to be able to locate them should anything go wrong.

as a farm laborer or farm labor contractor (FLC). The United States
Department of Labor,
Wage and Hour Division (WHD), registers FLCs. The California Department of
Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE),
licenses FLCs, including day haulers (i.e., persons transporting farm
workers for a fee). Federal Registration: Every FLC doing business in
California, and every person performing contracting duties for an FLC, must
be registered with the WHD. Registration applications are available at the
local office of the U.S. Department of Labor and are usually available at
local offices of the California Employment Development Department.

Registration Requirement under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA)

The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) covers
such things as safety and health standards for migrant worker housing,
transportation safety, disclosing the terms and conditions of employment to
migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, properly paying covered workers,
and making and keeping accurate payroll records. Generally, the MSPA applies
to any person (or business) who recruits, solicits, hires, employs,
furnishes, or transports migrant or seasonal agricultural workers (the MSPA
refers to these activities as “farm labor contracting activities”).

Under the MSPA, migrant agricultural workers are those employed in
agricultural work of a seasonal or temporary nature who cannot return to
their permanent residence at night because of the distance involved.
Seasonal agricultural workers also are employed in agricultural work of a
seasonal or temporary nature, but who are able to return to their permanent
residence at night.

Before performing any “farm labor contracting activities,” farm labor
contractors are required to apply to the U.S. Department of Labor for a
Certificate of Registration authorizing the applicant to engage in “farm
labor contracting activities.” Persons employed by farm labor contractors
(farm labor contractor employees) to perform such activities on behalf of
the contractor are also required to register with the Department.
Application for a Certificate of Registration is made by completing and
submitting the required application form (Form WH-530). Form WH-530 can be
obtained electronically from this site or by contacting the nearest office
of the Wage and Hour Division. The form can also be obtained from any local
office of the state workforce agency or employment service.

Certain persons and organizations, such as small businesses meeting the
exemption criteria of 29 U.S.C. § 213(a)(6)(A), are exempt from the Act and
are not required to register as farm labor contractors. In addition,
establishments meeting the MSPA definition of an “agricultural association”
or “agricultural employer,” are not required to register as a farm labor
contractor. Contact the Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-4US-WAGE
(1-866-487-9243), TTY: 1-877-889-5627, if you have any questions as to
whether you must register with the U.S. Department of Labor as a farm labor
contractor.

The Seller of Travel Bond can range anywhere from $5,000.00 to $25,000, or even $50,000 if they offer to sell vacation certificates. The State entities are authorized to collect registration fees and impose penalties for non-compliance of the law.

Florida Seller of Travel Bond Form / State of Florida Tour Operator Bond Form

There are many laws that provide certain protection to consumers. In the past, a “seller of travel” provided or arranged air or sea travel. The law has been expanded to include sellers of travel who provide or arrange land and water vessel transportation services also, in most cases they are required to maintain a Seller of Travel Surety Bond.

All purchases made from sellers of travel who are located in the United States, as well as purchases by sellers of travel who sell or offer to sell from locations throughout the United States, which includes both retail and wholesale transactions, and covers sales to tours operators, consolidators, and wholesalers.

All sellers of travel must register or be licensed as a seller of travel, before they can operate lawfully or market to persons, businesses, or retail vendors and some states require a Seller of Travel to Register and in most cases provide a Seller of Travel Bond. Registration is not the same as licensing which usually involves some review and approval. So long as the Seller of Travel discloses the necessary information in its application, a registration number will be issued.

However, in the event a Seller of Travel does not provide the tickets or lodging, and the purchaser is having problems locating that Seller of Travel, having a Seller of Travel Bond will protect the consumer and the information in the registration file will help in determining who actually made the sale. The purpose of registration and or licensing is to have adequate information about both reputable and dishonest sellers of travel, to be able to locate them should anything go wrong.

Registration is not the same as licensing which usually involves some review and approval. So long as the Seller of Travel discloses the necessary information in its application, a registration number will be issued.

However, in the event a Seller of Travel does not provide the tickets or lodging, and the purchaser is having problems locating that Seller of Travel, having a Seller of Travel Bond will protect the consumer and the information in the registration file will help in determining who actually made the sale. The purpose of registration and or licensing is to have adequate information about both reputable and dishonest sellers of travel, to be able to locate them should anything go wrong
