HATHAWAY, Judge.
This special action requires us to determine whether a surplus line insurer issuing bid, payment and performance bonds is "an insurer authorized to transact a surety business in this state" within the meaning of A.R.S. § 20-1531 and "a surety company ... duly authorized to do business in this state" within the meaning of A.R.S. § 34-222(C). For the reasons set forth below, we accept jurisdiction, but deny relief.
