legislative instrument, were prepared by James Benton.
DIGEST
Gary Smith (SB 454)
Present law authorizes the court in the parishes of St. John the Baptist and St. Charles, by written
rule, to alter the percentage amount of bail to be deposited with the officer authorized to accept
the bond and authorize the officer to charge an administrative fee, not to exceed $15, for
processing the bond.
Proposed law retains present law but expands its applicability to any parish provided the district
attorney consents and increases the maximum administrative fee to $25.
Effective August 1, 2014.
(Amends C.Cr.P. Art. 324(A)(3))
