Bail Schedule
Traffic and Criminal Local Bail Schedules
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1269b(d) of California
Penal Code, the Traffic and Criminal Bail Schedules were amended
and adopted by a majority of the Judges at a meeting held on
February 11, 2010. The Bail Schedules are effective as of January 1, 2010.
The Bail Schedule is the presumptive bail for many, but not all statutory offenses. A Judicial officer may review bail in any individual case and exercise discretion in setting appropriate bail different from the schedule. In doing this the judicial officer will consider
protection of the public, the seriousness of the offense charged, the previous criminal record of the defendant and the probability the defendant will appear at trial or at the next hearing.
Please note the schedule includes a very limited number of Infraction violations. A comprehensive listing of Infraction violations may be found in the
2010 State Uniform Bail Schedule. Also be aware that the schedule does not reflect the total amount owed since many state-mandated assessments and fees are added to certain misdemeanor and infraction violations, substantially increasing the final sum that
must be paid.
