§ 7570 — Power of court to return forfeited security

A surety may file a motion requesting the return of forfeited bail, bond or any other security at any time after the order of forfeiture is entered. The court shall set the motion for hearing and provide notice thereof to the surety and the state’s attorney. If the court finds the interests of justice would be served by returning all or part of the security, the court may grant the motion and return as much of the security as it deems equitable under the circumstances. (Amended 2001, No. 124 (Adj. Sess.), § 9, eff. June 5, 2002.)
