On the recordFebruary 10, 1995
The amendments as proposed is an absolute requirement of a financial guarantee. I think providing a little bit of flexibility in this provision so we do not rule out those nonfinancial situations as well as what the gentleman has already done would help to make it clear that you do not have to buy a private bail bond and the gentleman does not intend this to be a bail bondsman bill. This is for law enforcement, and there should be alternatives to the bail bondsman clearly that those are allowed.
