activein force · 2025-05-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) Bail Pending Final Disposition. If the court orders the release of

the petitioner on bail pending final disposition of the petition pursuant to Rule

74(b) and the petitioner is admitted to bail, the sentence is automatically

stayed. If the final judgment is adverse to the petitioner, the stay

automatically terminates when the judgment making final disposition is

entered in the Unified Criminal Docket. When a stay of sentence of

imprisonment is so terminated, the clerk of the Unified Criminal Docket shall

forthwith mail a date-stamped copy of the judgment making final disposition to

the parties and to the sheriff named in the underlying commitment order.

Within 3 days after that mailing, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal

holidays, the petitioner’s counsel or, if not represented by counsel, the

petitioner shall contact the office of the sheriff named in the underlying

commitment order and make arrangements satisfactory to the sheriff for

surrendering into that sheriff’s custody that day or, at the direction of the

sheriff, the next regular business day. If such arrangements are not timely

made, or if the arrangements are not complied with, upon the request of the

named sheriff or the attorney for the respondent, or by direction of the court,

the clerk of the Unified Criminal Docket shall issue a warrant for the petitioner’s

arrest. Upon issuance of that warrant and necessary notice by the clerk to the

court of that fact, the court, in conformity with Rule 46(g)(1), shall declare a

forfeiture of the Rule 74 bail because of the breach of condition.

(b) Bail Pending Appeal. If the court orders the release of the

petitioner on bail pending appeal pursuant to Rule 75(b) and the petitioner is

admitted to bail, execution of the sentence shall be stayed as provided in Rule

38(a) and (b). The procedure for the petitioner’s surrender following automatic

termination of a stay of sentence of imprisonment is as provided in subdivision

(a).
