629.53 PROVIDING RELEASE ON BAIL; COMMITMENT.

new text begin (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), new text end a person charged with a criminal offense may
be released with or without bail in accordance with rule 6.02 of the Rules of Criminal
Procedure. Money bail is the property of the accused, whether deposited by that person or
by a third person on the accused's behalf. When money bail is accepted by a judge, that
judge shall order it to be deposited with the court administrator. The court administrator
shall retain it until the final disposition of the case and the final order of the court disposing
of the case. Upon release, the amount released must be paid to the accused personally or
upon that person's written order. In case of conviction, the judge may order the money bail
deposit to be applied to any fine or restitution imposed on the defendant by the court and,
if the fine or restitution is less than the deposit, order the balance to be paid to the defendant.
Money bail deposited with the court or any officer of it is exempt from garnishment or levy
under attachment or execution.
