For the purpose of securing the payment of any tax, penalties or interest due or which may become due under the provisions of this division, every itinerant vendor engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail in this state is required to file a bond with the Department of Revenue, conditioned upon the payment of any tax, penalty or interest due or to become due under this division and upon faithful observance of the provisions of the division. Such bond shall be effective for a period of one year from date of issuance and shall be fixed by the department in an amount equal to the tax estimated due or to become due under the provisions of this division, but not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, and shall have a surety or sureties satisfactory to the department.

If such itinerant vendor fails to make any return due under this division or to pay any taxes or penalties due under this division or to keep books and records as required by this division or fails to perform any other duty or obligation imposed on him under this division, such bond shall thereupon be forfeited, and the department shall institute an action upon such bond in the name of the State of Alabama for the entire amount of said bond and costs.
