HB 1022: Bail bond agreements

Prohibiting general power of attorney provisions in bail bond agreements.

Summary

  • Creates a presumption of unprofessional conduct by a bail bond agent where the agent enters into a contract, including a general power of attorney, that gives the agent full authority over a person's finances, assets, and property; the presumption may be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary.
