Misdemeanor Bail ScheduleA. Determining Bail The most current publication of the Judicial Council Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference, with the exception of the violations reflected in the misdemeanor portion of this bail schedule: 1. Misdemeanor bail shall be determined by first using the amount set forth in this publication. 2. If the violation is not specifically set forth in this publication, then bail shall be the amount set forth in the most current publication of the Judicial Council Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule. 3. If bail has not been set by the Judicial Council, the amount of bail shall be determined as set forth under Section D, below. B. Revisions to Schedule The following procedure is established to make changes to the bail schedule without a formal meeting of the bail committee: 1. The staff will present to the chairperson of the bail committee all proposed changes to the approved bail schedule. 2. The chairperson will approve the changes for review by the committee. 3. The staff will distribute the changes for approval. 4. When the changes have been approved, a revised page for the bail schedule will be distributed to all agencies holding authorized copies. C. Additions to Schedule The following procedure is established to add a section to the automated bail schedule with approval from the chairperson of the bail committee: 1. When it is advisable to add a new section number to the automated bail schedule (computer based) because of increased usage, the staff will present the new section to the bail committee chairperson, who will have authority to approve the addition to the automated schedule. 2. Notification of the addition will be given to all members of the committee. 3. The conditions for the section will be the same as the following conditions shown for unlisted violations. D.

Bail Limit for Multiple Offenses – Same Degree A bail limit is established for a case that has multiple offenses of the same degree, as follows: 1. Vehicle Code - Misdemeanors/Infractions The total amount of bail is not to exceed $500.00 (not counting assessment and night court). Assessment and night court are then added to the bail amount for applicable code sections. If bail is over $500.00 (not counting assessment and night court), then delete from the calculation the Vehicle Code violations with the least amount of bail until the total bail amount is $500.00 or less, then add the appropriate assessment and night court to the remaining applicable Vehicle Code sections. Bail for the 14601 CVC suspended license violations (see page 13) and the Driving under the influence violations 23152 and 23153 (see page 13) have bail settings of $300.00 or more. If one or more of these violations are part of a multiple vehicle code misdemeanor case then the aggregate bail will be set for the one violation with the highest setting in excess of $500.00. (No penalty assessment or night court is to be added.) 2. Other State and County Codes – Misdemeanors (except Vehicle Code) The highest misdemeanor bail involved is to be the accepted bail. 3. All Codes – Felony The highest felony bail involved is to be the accepted bail. F. Bail Limit for Multiple Offenses – Different Degree A bail limit is established for a case that has multiple offenses of a different degree as follows: 1. Felony with Misdemeanor or Infraction Violations A felony with a misdemeanor or infraction violation will take the highest felony bail. 2. Penal Code or Other State Codes Misdemeanors with Vehicle Code violations A misdemeanor with a Vehicle Code violation will take a total bail for the Vehicle Code violations, not exceeding $500.00 (not counting assessment or night court), plus the highest misdemeanor bail. The entire total is not to exceed $1,000.00, not counting the above Vehicle Code assessment and night court. Assessment and night court are then added to the bail amount for applicable Vehicle Code sections only. If bail for the Vehicle Code violations is over $500.00 (not counting assessment and night court), then delete from the calculation the Vehicle Code violations with the least amount of bail until the total bail amount for Vehicle Codes is $500.00 or less. Then add the appropriate assessment and night court to the remaining applicable Vehicle Code sections. When one or more misdemeanor violations have a $500.00 or more bail setting as may be listed in this bail table use only the bail setting for the one misdemeanor violation with the highest setting when adding to the vehicle code violation(s) for the aggregate bail. When both misdemeanor and vehicle code misdemeanors listed in this bail table have a bail setting of $500.00 or more take the highest misdemeanor violation bail setting and add to the highest vehicle code misdemeanor violation bail setting for the aggregate bail. (Do not add penalty assessment or night court.) G. California Vehicle Code Defective equipment violations – exceptions to court appearance. Pursuant to Section 10.5(b) of the Judicial Administration Standards, Appendix to the California Rules of Court, the clerk is authorized to accept offers of proof of correction or compliance in accordance with the Judicial Council Uniform Bail Schedule without necessity of a court appearance. The dollar amount shown in the Judicial Council Bail Schedule involving defective equipment violations is merely a guide for the judge in imposing a fine. H. Bail Set on VC 40508 The Bail Committee has stipulated that all VC 40508 misdemeanor warrants be $86.00 base bail plus penalties.
