Under existing law, when a defendant is released on bail, if no formal action or proceeding is instituted against the defendant or if such an action or proceeding is dismissed, the court is required to exonerate bail, except that the court is authorized to delay exoneration of bail for a period not to exceed 30 days under certain circumstances. (NRS 178.502) Section 1 of this bill also requires the court to exonerate bail if the defendant admitted to bail and the prosecuting attorney stipulate to the exoneration of bail.
