Section 15-13-130 Cash bail - Undertaking of bail: Basis of and when forfeited. The basis of
all undertakings of bail, whether upon a warrant, writ of arrest, suspension of judgment,
writ of error, or in any other case, is to ensure the appearance of the defendant in court,
and the undertaking is forfeited by the failure of the defendant to appear. If, by reason
of the neglect of the defendant to appear, money is deposited as cash bail and is forfeited
and the forfeiture is not discharged or remitted, the clerk with whom it is deposited shall,
at the end of 30 days, unless the court has before that time discharged the forfeiture, pay
over the money deposited to the officer, official, or employee authorized by law to receive
fines levied by the court. The court shall then, without any notice to defendant, render judgment
absolute for the entire sum deposited and the money shall then become public money of the
State General Fund or in bail forfeiture cases pending in the municipal courts...
