FAQ
The amendment — which voters overwhelmingly approved in November 2022 — requires judges to consider public safety when setting bail. The amendment also took power away from the Ohio Supreme Court to set rules on bail amounts or conditions and gave it to state lawmakers.
Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.
In general a defendant may post 10% of the bond that was set unless the Judge's order says "No Percent." For example, if the Judge orders a $5,000 bond then $500 must be posted. The full amount of the bond must be posted if the Judge orders it.
California's statewide Penal Code also provides minimum bail amounts for certain crimes. If a county hasn't adopted a schedule, the statewide figures apply. For misdemeanor assault, for example, the Code mandates $10,000 minimum bail.
Some examples of typical bail amounts for common crimes are: Petty theft: $50 to $1,000. DUI: $500 to $10,000. Assault: $1,000 to $50,000. Murder: $1 million or more.
