520.40 - Transfer of cash bail from local criminal court to superior court.

§  520.40    Transfer of cash bail from local criminal court to superior               court.    When a local criminal court acquires control over  the  person  of  an  accused  and  such  court designates the amount of bail that the accused  may post and such bail is posted in cash and subsequently the accused is  arraigned in superior court where bail  is  fixed  by  such  court,  the  accused  may  request  that  the  cash bail posted in the local criminal  court be transferred to the superior court. Notice of such request  must  be  given  to  the  person who posted cash bail. Upon such a request the  superior court shall make an order directing the local criminal court to  transfer the cash bail that it holds to the superior court  for  use  in  the  superior  court.   If there is an overage, the superior court shall  order it be paid over to the person who posted  the  cash  bail  in  the  local  criminal court.  If there is a deficiency, the accused shall post  additional bail as directed by the superior court.
