A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE FORFEITURE ROLL FOR BAIL BONDS ORDERED FORFEITED IN THE DISTRICT COURT MAY BE HEARD IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 15A-544(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d)	To facilitate the procedure under this section, the clerk in each county must present a forfeiture roll at the first session of superior court commencing more than 60 days after the entry of any order of forfeiture in either the district or superior court, except that the clerk may elect to present a forfeiture roll at the first session of district court commencing more than 60 days after the entry of any order of forfeiture in the district court.  The forfeiture roll must list the names of all principals as to which forfeiture has been ordered in the county in the past three years and as to which judgments of forfeiture against obligors have not been entered or, if entered, not yet satisfied by execution. In addition, the forfeiture roll must show the amount of the bond ordered forfeited in each case and the names of all sureties liable on each bond."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and applies to forfeiture rolls presented prior to, on, or after the effective date of this act.
