CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Provides relative to notices of warrant of arrest of a person who fails to appear in court after release on bail. (8/1/25)

Added a provision clarifying that the power of attorney number used to execute a bail undertaking does not affect the validity or enforcement of the resulting judgment.

Removed the full text of the enrolled bill, replacing it with the original version to correct the legislative record.

Updated the bill's title and digest to reflect the specific amendment to Article 334 regarding notices of arrest warrants for failure to appear.

Added a provision requiring that unclaimed cash deposits held for one year be split: half goes to the clerk of court for office operations, and half goes to the local governing authority after public notice.

Created a new definition for 'cash depositor' as an entity providing funds in lieu of a surety, while explicitly stating this does not make them a legal surety.

Modified notice requirements to ensure arrest warrants are only sent to defendants and sureties who have provided valid service information as required by law.

Added a specific clause stating that failure to send required notices relieves cash depositors from liability on bond forfeiture judgments.

Added a requirement that the clerk of court must only send notices to persons who have provided necessary service information in accordance with existing law.

Explicitly included the cash depositor who posted the bond as a required recipient of the arrest warrant notice.

Updated the bill header and page count to reflect the reengrossed version.
