(a)
(1) There shall be an initial one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) limit on active unpaid bond forfeiture judgments for each bail bonding company.
(2) Under this section, the amount of unpaid forfeiture or forfeitures shall be determined using the face value of an unpaid forfeited bond.

(b) When the Professional Bail Bond Company and Professional Bail Bondsman Licensing Board is notified of a bond forfeiture judgment under § 17-19-208(b)(1) and has issued notice to the company after ninety (90) days from the date of judgment has elapsed, the value of the forfeited bond shall count against that company's respective limit.
(c) When a company's unpaid bond forfeiture or forfeitures reach one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or the total amount of security deposit posted with the board, whichever is higher, the company license shall be suspended.
(d) The license shall remain suspended until:
(1) The company can post an additional certificate of deposit or letter of credit with the board so that the company's security deposit exceeds the unpaid bond forfeiture or forfeitures amount;
(2) The bond forfeiture judgment or judgments are paid to the extent that the total amount of unpaid forfeiture or forfeitures are less than the security deposit posted with the board; or
(3)
(A) The court that entered the bond forfeiture judgment releases the company's security deposit from responsibility on the unpaid forfeiture as required by § 17-19-208(a)(1).
(B) If the court releases the company's security deposit from responsibility on an unpaid bond forfeiture judgment, the release must be decreed by court order.

(f) A company's unpaid bond forfeiture limit shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) unless the company has posted additional security with the board and shall never exceed the company's total amount of posted security deposit or one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), whichever is more.
