(b) The amount of the bond shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by the commission. (c) The commission may require adjustments to a filed bond as it considers appropriate. (d) If a reimbursing employer covered by a bond fails to pay the full amount of reimbursements when due, together with any applicable interest and penalties required under this subtitle, the surety is liable on the bond, to the extent of the bond, as though the surety were the employer.

The termination remains effective for that tax year and the following tax year.
