23A-43-25. Proceeding against bail after forfeiture of undertaking--Payment into county treasury of money deposit forfeited--Bonds for traffic or other misdemeanor violations excluded.
After the forfeiture of recognizance, bond or undertaking of bail, including an appearance bond, the prosecuting attorney shall proceed, with all due diligence, by action against the bail upon the instrument so forfeited. If money deposited instead of bail, including an appearance bond, is forfeited, the clerk of the court or other officer with whom it is deposited, shall monthly pay the money deposited to the county treasurer who shall deposit it in the county treasury. This section is not to be construed to include bonds assessed for violations of traffic or other misdemeanor violations included on an approved fine and bond schedule adopted by a circuit court for use by lay magistrates and law enforcement officials for purposes of levying a fine and costs to permit a violator to submit a power of attorney in lieu of a court appearance. Bonds which have been submitted in payment of such violations, accompanied by either a signed or unsigned power of attorney, shall be deposited in accordance with state laws governing the deposit of such fines, liquidated court costs and surcharges.
