Adds provisions relating to bonds for violent offenders

Summary

The bill forces a bail bond company or its agent to receive at least half of the bond fee before the bond is issued when the defendant is charged with specific violent or repeat felony offenses. The agent must file a sworn statement with the court confirming the payment. Not providing the certification is a misdemeanor, falsifying it is a felony, and either violation bars the agent from writing bonds for five years.
