Bill Summary
Requires clerk of court to withhold funds from return of cash bond posted by criminal defendant or his or her spouse, rather than to withhold from return of cash bond posted on behalf of criminal defendant by person other than bail bond agent, funds for specified purposes; requires all cash bond forms to display specified notice.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Florida law to require the clerk of court to withhold funds from the return of a cash bond posted by a criminal defendant or their spouse, rather than a bond posted on behalf of the defendant by someone else, for the purpose of paying any unpaid costs of prosecution, costs of representation, court fees, court costs, and criminal penalties. The bill also requires all cash bond forms to prominently display a notice explaining that the funds are subject to forfeiture and that the clerk of court is authorized to withhold funds posted by the defendant or their spouse for these specified purposes.
