IDAHO BAIL ACT -- Amends existing law to revise the definition of “bail bond,” to define “charitable bail organization,” and to provide for a bail bond or cash deposit posted by a charitable bail organization.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to revise the definition of "bail bond" to include a financial guarantee or cash deposit posted by a charitable bail organization, which is defined as a nonprofit that solicits or accepts donations and agrees to post bail for defendants more than once in a 180-day period. The bill also requires any charitable bail organization posting a bail bond or cash deposit to be licensed by the state as a surety insurance producer. Additionally, the bill specifies that although bail may be posted in the form of a cash deposit, a defendant cannot be required to post bail in that form.
