SB 562: Bail.
What SB 562 does, verified August 15, 2026
This bill would require a refund to be made to entities who paid for a bail bond if the prosecuting agency fails to file charges within 21 days of the posting of the arrestee's bail bond, or if the defendant's bond is exonerated due to a motion to dismiss. The refund would be equal to the bail premium paid, minus an administrative reimbursement of 2% of the bond liability amount and the premium tax paid to the state. The bill applies only to bail bonds entered into on or after January 1, 2026, and the provisions would be severable.
