Text

If a defendant fails to appear for a scheduled court appearance, the clerk of court shall notify the bail bond agent. If the bail bond agent returns the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court, the bail bond agent may petition the court for a return of the forfeiture. If the bail bond agent returns the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court within six months of receiving notice of the failure to appear, the court shall return at least fifty percent of the forfeiture upon petition by the bail bond agent. If the bail bond agent returns the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court beyond six months of receiving notice of the failure to appear, the court may return the forfeiture upon receipt of a petition from the bail bond agent, less five percent for court costs.
