Thank you for the question.
They do exist, although not as often used as could be. When we talk about sureties, a financial surety, that can be a hardship for some of the folks in our communities. When you have other people who will step up as sureties, that is one area where my colleagues and I have noticed and expressed that there are opportunities to improve and perhaps tighten up some of the rules. Currently there really is very little consequence when people don't comply while out on a surety. There are opportunities there to make that better, and that's certainly one of the areas, as noted in my opening comments, that is available and supported by all of our colleagues.
