Bond Forms

The Supreme Court of Alabama shall prescribe the different forms used for bail bonds and shall publish the forms in the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure. The supreme court shall require an original qualifying power of attorney to be attached to all bail bond forms. The original qualifying power of attorney shall: (i) be issued by a professional surety company; and (ii) specify the names of all agents that may execute and bind the company to a bail undertaking and any applicable limitations of the agents. The supreme court may change the forms from time to time as the court deems necessary but the forms and their terms shall conform to the terms of this chapter or any other laws of the State of Alabama.
