The Michigan Interim Bail Order (Misdemeanor) is an order issued by a Michigan court setting the terms of pretrial release for a defendant charged with a misdemeanor crime. This order requires that the defendant appear in court on the specified date and time, keep the peace, and abide by any other conditions set by the court. It also sets the amount of bail or bond to be paid as a condition of pretrial release. The purpose of the interim bail order is to ensure the defendant’s appearance in court and to protect the safety of the public. Types of Michigan Interim Bail Order (Misdemeanor) include unsecured bond, secured bond, surety bond, and personal recognizance. An unsecured bond means the defendant does not have to pay money upfront but must still comply with all court orders. A secured bond requires the defendant to pay money upfront as a condition of release. A surety bond requires a third party to pay money on the defendant’s behalf in order to secure the defendant’s release. A personal recognizance bond requires the defendant to sign a document promising to appear in court and abide by all court orders.
