Cal. Code Regs. tit. 10 § 2088.2

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 24, June 14, 2024
Section 2088.2 - Return of Collateral

Any collateral received shall be returned to the person who deposited it with the bail licensee or to any assignee of such person, other than the bail licensee or the bail licensee's representative, as soon as the bail licensee or the bail licensee's representative is advised that the obligation, the satisfaction of which was secured by the collateral, is discharged. It is the duty of the bail licensee or surety insurer to determine promptly whether such obligation has been discharged upon request for return of the collateral by the person depositing it or by the assignee of the person depositing it. If the collateral was deposited to secure the obligation of a bond, it shall be returned immediately upon the entry of any order by an authorized official by virtue of which liability under the bond is terminated. If any licensee or surety insurer which has custody of the collateral fails to take promptly any action necessary to secure the termination of such liability, the licensee or surety insurer shall return such collateral immediately upon the accrual of any right to secure an order of termination of liability. If such collateral was deposited as security for unpaid premium or charges and if such premium or charges remained unpaid at the time of exoneration and after demand therefor has thereafter been made by the licensee or surety insurer which has custody of the collateral, the collateral other than cash may be levied upon in the manner provided by law and the proceeds of such collateral may be applied to the amount of such unpaid premium or charges.
