FL S1464

Narrows bail bond agent obligations to ensure defendant appears only at proceedings for which the surety bond was posted, removing broader responsibility for fulfilling all bond conditions.

Changes forfeiture triggers from general "breach of bond" to specifically "failure to appear" at required court proceedings.

Modifies remission percentages for defendant apprehension after forfeiture: 100% within 90 days, 95% within 180 days, 90% within 270 days, 85% within 1 year, and 50% within 2 years.

Allows forfeiture discharge if the state refuses nationwide extradition within 10 days of surety request and surety agrees to pay return transportation costs up to the bond amount.

Specifies that original appearance bonds expire after 36 months and do not guarantee placement in court-ordered programs, and removes bond cancellation provisions when forfeiture is declared before the 36-month expiration.
