AI Summary
This bill amends Florida Statute 903.286 to require the clerk of the court to withhold funds from the return of a cash bond posted by a criminal defendant or their spouse, rather than a cash bond posted on behalf of the defendant by a person other than a bail bond agent, in order to pay 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 is authorized to withhold funds posted by the defendant or their spouse for the payment of these costs and fees.
