House Bill No. [insert number] amends the Code of Criminal Procedure Article 334 regarding the notice of a warrant for arrest. The bill stipulates that after a warrant is issued, the clerk of court must send a notice to the prosecuting attorney within sixty days of the defendant's failure to appear. Additionally, the notice must be sent to the defendant, bail agent or bondsman, and personal surety via mail or electronic means. If the bail agent or bondsman has opted into electronic notification by filing a specific form, the notice will be sent electronically. The notice to the commercial surety must include the power of attorney number used for the bail undertaking.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that failure to send the notice to both the commercial surety and the agent or bondsman who opted into electronic notification within the specified sixty days will release the surety from all obligations under the bail undertaking. This amendment aims to ensure that all relevant parties are promptly informed of the warrant, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the bail process and ensuring compliance with legal obligations.
