Section 2090 - Surrender of Arrestee to Custody; Return of Premiums

No bail licensee shall surrender an arrestee to custody prior to the time specified in the undertaking of bail or the bail bond for the appearance of the arrestee, or prior to any other occasion when the presence of the arrestee in court is lawfully required, without returning all premium paid for such undertaking or bond; except that when as the result of judicial action, information concealed or misrepresented by the arrestee or other reasonable cause, any one of which was material to the hazard assumed, and the licensee can show that the hazard was substantially increased, then the bail licensee may retain incurred out of pocket expenses permitted to be charged by Section 2081 (c) and (d). The surrender of an arrestee who is again in custody for an offense for which a penalty greater than that for the original offense may not be imposed, or the surrender of such an arrestee at the request of the guarantor, shall never, in and of themselves, be considered to be surrender for reasonable cause, and in case of any surrender under such circumstances, and no actual and substantial increase in hazard can be shown by the licensee, all premiums received and incurred expenses shall be returned. Compliance with an Order of the Court made pursuant to Section 1300(b) of the Penal Code shall be in compliance with this Section; and a licensee at the time of any surrender of an arrestee prior to the time specified in the undertaking of bail shall inform such arrestee of that arrestee's rights under said Section 1300(b) to petition the Court for a ruling as to return of premium.
