Authority. If no sufficient cause is shown, the municipal judge or other officer presiding shall proceed to enter judgment against the principal and surety, under sections 62-85 and 62-86, for the amount of bond, including a recognizance or signature bond as applicable, and execution shall be issued for the amount of this judgment and placed in the hands of the municipal revenue collector, who shall proceed to collect it by levy and sale as in the case of tax executions. However, judgment shall not be entered against either principal or surety until service shall have been perfected.

(b)

Suspension of bondsperson's permit for noncompliance. Upon failure of any bondsperson to comply with this section or section 62-86 within ten days of the issuance of the execution, the permit and right of the bondsperson shall automatically and without further action be suspended.

(c)

Effect of suspension. The chief judge of any court under the jurisdiction of the city or the bond administrator shall immediately notify the chief of corrections in writing of the failure of any bondsperson or individual to comply with this section, and upon receipt of this notice the commissioner of corrections shall not permit this bondsperson or individual to visit persons incarcerated in the city jail. No bondsperson or individual shall have the right contemplated in this article to write further bonds for prisoners held by the city until this bondsperson's permit or individual's right has been reinstated by the mayor.
