Applications procedure for bail bondsmen
Pursuant to MCLA 750.167(b), the Judges of the Circuit Court are to annually compile and maintain an up-to-date list of the names of persons engaged in the business of becoming surety upon bonds for compensation in criminal cases. “The statute states: The list shall be compiled annually by the Judges of the Circuit Court of each Circuit, and the names of persons engaged in the business of becoming surety upon bonds for compensation shall be added to the list by the Judges upon proper application.” The Court will circulate the list to the appropriate agencies in accordance with the statute.
Accordingly, the Court Administrator has prepared two applications for bondsmen: one for persons backed by insurance and the other for persons backed by real property. Persons or businesses may apply for inclusion on the list under either category or both. (Statutory authority for this review appears in MCLA 765.20.)
Copies of the Bail Bondsman application are available in the Court Administration Office or are available by email upon request. All applications for the 2013 Bail Bondsman List must be requested through the Court Administration Office, 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac, Michigan 48341, and submitted no later than October 26, 2012. The Court Administration Office can also be reached at 248-858-0296.
