Bail Bond/Bondsmen Provisions/Other Changes
AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to North Carolina's bail bond and bondsmen provisions, as well as other unrelated changes. The key provisions are:
1. It requires bail bondsmen to be legal residents or documented citizens of the United States.
2. It changes the rules around re-examination for failed bail bond applicants, allowing them to retake the exam within 90 days rather than having to wait a full year.
3. It makes various changes to the forfeiture process for bail bonds, including allowing set-asides for failure to provide proper notice or if the court refused to issue an arrest warrant.
4. It provides for concurrent jurisdiction between the state and federal government over certain juvenile offenses committed on military installations.
5. It changes the process for filling mid-term vacancies in district court judgeships, requiring the governor to appoint someone to fill the vacancy until an election can be held.
6. It makes technical corrections and coordination changes related to other recently passed legislation.
