House Bill No. by Representative Mena amends Code of Criminal Procedure Article 334 to enhance the notification process for warrants of 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. For commercial sureties, the notice must be sent by certified mail or electronically if the agent or bondsman has opted in for electronic notifications.

The bill also includes provisions that require the notice to include the power of attorney number used for the bail undertaking, ensuring that failure to include this number does not invalidate the judgment. Furthermore, if the clerk fails to send the notice to the commercial surety and the agent or bondsman who opted for electronic notification within the specified timeframe, the surety will be released from all obligations under the bail undertaking. This amendment aims to streamline the notification process and ensure all relevant parties are informed promptly.
