We would like to congratulate the Kansas bail bond industry for their legislative efforts this past week.  A piece of anti-bail legislation, HB 2545, was defeated at the committee level.  Kansas HB 2545 was introduced in the House Judiciary committee on January 27, 2010 by a request from a western Kansas Judge.  The bill, which would have raised the ORCD limit from $2,500 to $25,000, essentially cutting the Kansas bail bond business out almost entirely, was scheduled for a hearing on Feb. 2.  The Kansas Professional Bail Bond Association (KPBBA) worked against the issue from the onset, with a full press against it.  After meeting with the House Leadership, Judiciary Committee Chairman and the legislator that introduced the bill, the legislation was pulled from having the hearing, putting the bill to an end. <\/p>\n

On Feb. 2, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing for HB 2528, a bill introduced at the request of the KPBBA dealing with when appearance bonds can be forfeited and how the timing works before the bail bondsperson is made to actually pay.  There were no opponents to the bill and the hearing went well.  There are a few wording issues that the Chairman of the committee and other committee members would like to work through before they pass the bill favorably.  The KPBBA is working with the Revisor’s Office to correct the wording and expects the bill to be worked back in within the next two weeks. . If you would like to learn more about what is happening in Kansas or other parts of the country please email us at communications@aiasurety.com<\/a><\/font>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
