2. The execution of a bond by the licensee and by a surety company authorized to transact business in this Commonwealth conditioned for payment in amounts and under the same circumstances as would be required in a policy of bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance, as required by the provisions of subdivision A 1 of this section; or
3. The delivery to the Department of $50,000 $250,000
