It shall be unlawful for any person to undertake to install any gas appliance, gas fitting system or gas piping system unless that person shall first obtain a bond in the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) secured by a surety company authorized to do business in the state of Idaho. Such bond shall secure the full performance of all provisions of law and regulations of the city relating to gas fitting work and that any person injured by failure of the principal to comply with such laws and regulations, or with any of the provisions thereof, shall have the right of action against the principal and surety in his name; provided that liability of any surety upon the bond required to be given by the gas installer, as herein provided shall be limited to the amount specified in the bond and in case of recoveries had by two (2) or more persons for violations of the conditions of such bond in excess of the amount of the bonds such recovery shall be prorated and the total recovery against such surety shall not exceed the amount of the bond; provided further that if any person wishing to avail himself of the benefits of the bond shall commence action thereon within one year after the date of the completion of the work alleged to have been improperly done.
Before any person undertakes to install any gas appliance, gas piping system or gas fitting system, that person shall secure a comprehensive general liability insurance policy issued by an insurance carrier authorized to do business in the state of Idaho with a combined aggregate limit of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) for losses on account of bodily or personal injury, death, property damage or other loss as a result of any one occurrence or accident regardless of the number of persons injured or the number of claimants.
