California SB562 modifies bail bond refund rules, requiring refunds under specific conditions and limiting the timeframe for such refunds.

California SB562 amends the Penal Code to establish conditions under which a court must order a refund of bail premiums. Specifically, a refund is required if charges are dismissed within 21 days of the defendant's arraignment or if the prosecuting agency fails to file charges within 21 days of the bail bond posting. The refund amount is the premium paid, minus an administrative reimbursement. The court must order this relief within 30 days of the defendant becoming eligible.
