Existing law specifies the procedures for the forfeiture and exoneration of bail, including requiring a court to direct the order of forfeiture to be vacated and the bond exonerated if the defendant appears in court within 180 days of the date of forfeiture or within 180 days of the date of mailing of specified notice, if required. Existing law requires the court to vacate the forfeiture and exonerate the bond, as specified, if the defendant is not in custody, is beyond the jurisdiction of the state, is temporarily detained and positively identified, as specified, and the prosecuting agency selects not to seek extradition after being informed of the defendant's location. This bill would authorize a court, under the circumstance described above, to toll the 180-day period within which to vacate the forfeiture for the length of time agreed upon by the parties if the bail agent and the prosecuting agency agree that additional time is needed to return the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court, and the prosecuting agency agrees to the tolling of the 180-day period. The bill would require the moving party to give the prosecuting agency written notice at least 10 court days before a hearing held to toll the 180-day period. The bill would also make a related change.
