Bail, Bail Bonds - As enacted, makes changes to the law relative to professional bondsmen and agents of insurance companies making appearance bonds of a criminal nature. - Amends TCA Title 40.

HB 528 adjusts Tennessee's bail bond fee rules by setting a minimum premium fee of 5% and maximum of 10% of a bond's face value (e.g., $125-$250 on a $2,500 bond). It directly affects individuals using bail bonds (defendants or their families) and professional bondsmen/insurance agents who set these fees. The bill amends three sections of Tennessee law to establish this new 5-10% fee range, replacing previous rules that only capped fees at 10% or allowed higher rates in certain cases. The changes take effect July 1, 2025, and represent a concrete policy shift in pretrial release costs.
