§ 62-89. Effect of original bond upon subsequent arrest on different offense.

If a person has been arrested and has posted bond to appear at the trial for the offense charged, a fee or charge having been paid to a professional bondsperson for this bond, and if this person is subsequently arrested for a different offense while out on bail, this subsequent arrest shall not operate as a discharge of the bail on the original offense if the person gives bond on the subsequent different offense. Upon this occurring, no professional bondsperson shall be entitled to collect an additional fee or make an additional charge for providing a bond on the original offense, the original bond remaining in effect upon the posting of bond on the subsequent different offense.
