(a) In the event the commissioner determines that a bond is needed to protect state revenue, the application for a permit or license shall be accompanied by a bond, the form of which shall be prescribed by the department. The bond shall be at least twice the estimated average quarterly, or annually, if the user is filing annual, tax liability of the user.
(b) The required bond shall be conditioned upon quarterly, or annual, in the case of annual filers, payment on or before the due date, of the highway user fuel tax imposed per each gallon of gasoline, motor fuel or alternative fuel, used in the operation of a qualified motor vehicle on the highways of Tennessee. Instead of a personal or corporate surety on such bond, the commissioner may allow the bond to be secured by deposit of collateral, having a face value equal to the bond amount, in the form of a certificate of deposit, or equivalent to a certificate of deposit, as accepted and authorized by the banking laws of this state. Such collateral may be deposited with any authorized state depository designated by the commissioner.
