Cash bail; authorize cash deposit upon execution of statutory notice form and sworn affidavit before posting.

SB 2105 would have allowed Mississippi defendants to post 10% of their total bail amount in cash instead of using a surety bond or property bond, provided they met eligibility requirements and signed a sworn affidavit. The bill required courts to provide defendants with a specific notice form detailing bail options, including the choice to use a professional bail agent (who would charge a non-refundable premium). Funds collected through this cash bail option would have been deposited into a "Cash Bail Fund" managed by the county treasurer. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was not enacted, though it was scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026, if passed.
