§ 16-2-111 — Admission to bail pending appearance

Any person charged with a
misdemeanor or petty offense by complaint filed in the county court shall be
admitted to bail or pretrial release as provided in article 4 of this code. When the
county judge or judges are not immediately available for purposes of admission to
bail or pretrial release of persons arrested and brought to the county court or jail,
on charges of committing a misdemeanor or petty offense, such persons may be
admitted to bail or be given a pretrial release by an appropriate officer designated
by court rule. Unless otherwise provided by statute or supreme court rule, the
county court shall provide by rule for the conditions and circumstances under which
an admission to bail or pretrial release will be granted pending appearance before
the judge, but in no event shall any such rule require conditions or impose liabilities
in excess of those required by this code for cases filed in the district court.
