Amends existing law to provide that certain notice shall be sent to the surety insurance company and to provide that failure to provide notice will exonerate the bail.
Current Idaho Code requires the clerk to provide written notice to the person posting bail within five (5) days of order of forfeiture. This amends 19-2915 by adding that the clerk also notify the surety insurance company. It also adds language to clarify that failure to provide notice will exonerate the bail.
