As amended through December 11, 2024

Termination

A bail bond posted pursuant to this section is effective and binding upon the obligor throughout all stages of the proceeding in the trial division of the General Court of Justice until the entry of judgment in the District Court from which no appeal is taken, or the entry of judgment in the Superior Court. The obligation of an obligor, however, is terminated at an earlier time if:

(1) a judge authorized to do so releases the obligor from his bond; or

(2) the principal is surrendered by a surety in accordance with G. S. 15A-540; or

(3) the proceeding is terminated by voluntary dismissal by the State before forfeiture is ordered under G. S. 15A-544(b); or

(4) prayer for judgment has been continued indefinitely in the District or Superior Court.

[5] the court has placed the defendant on probation pursuant to a deferred prosecution or conditional discharge.
