Bail bonds; provide when discharged.

SB 2310 clarifies when a bail bond in Mississippi becomes legally void, directly affecting defendants, bail agents, and courts. The bill specifies five situations that automatically discharge a bail bond: when a defendant is found guilty and sentenced, charges are dismissed or dropped, the case is closed, the defendant surrenders to authorities, or the defendant is placed in an alternative sentencing program. It codifies these rules into Mississippi law (Section 99-5-41) to eliminate ambiguity about when the financial obligation ends. The bill was introduced in 2025 but died in committee without becoming law, so it has no current effect.
