(3) Subsection (2) does not apply if the defendant was apprehended more than 56 days after the bail or bond was ordered forfeited and judgment entered and the surety did not fully pay the forfeiture judgment within that 56-day period.

Demand; effect; notification; period of time; liability of issuer.
Status: in_force

Sec. 8403.

A person who is an appropriate person to make an indorsement or originate an instruction may demand that the issuer not register transfer of a security by communicating to the issuer a notification that identifies the registered owner and the issue of which the security is a part and provides an address for communications directed to the person making the demand. The demand is effective only if it is received by the issuer at a time and in a manner affording the issuer reasonable opportunity to act on it.

If a certificated security in registered form is presented to an issuer with a request to register transfer or an instruction is presented to an issuer with a request to register transfer of an uncertificated security after a demand that the issuer not register transfer has become effective, the issuer shall promptly communicate to the person who initiated the demand at the address provided in the demand and the person who presented the security for registration of transfer or initiated the instruction requesting registration of transfer a notification stating all of the following:

The certificated security has been presented for registration of transfer or instruction for registration of transfer of uncertificated security has been received.

A demand that the issuer not register transfer had previously been received.

The issuer will withhold registration of transfer for a period of time stated in the notification in order to provide the person who initiated the demand an opportunity to obtain legal process or an indemnity bond.

The period described in subsection (2)(c) may not exceed 30 days after the date of communication of the notification. A shorter period may be specified by the issuer if it is not manifestly unreasonable.

An issuer is not liable to a person who initiated a demand that the issuer not register transfer for any loss the person suffers as a result of registration of a transfer pursuant to an effective indorsement or instruction if the person who initiated the demand does not, within the time stated in the issuer's communication, do either of the following:

Obtain an appropriate restraining order, injunction, or other process from a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining the issuer from registering the transfer.

File with the issuer an indemnity bond, sufficient in the issuer's judgment to protect the issuer and any transfer agent, registrar, or other agent of the issuer involved from any loss it or they may suffer by refusing to register the transfer.

This section does not relieve an issuer from liability for registering transfer pursuant to an indorsement or instruction that was not effective.

The population data used in determining distributions under this act in a year in which a federal decennial statewide census, federal mid-decade statewide census, or special statewide census provided by law is conducted shall become effective for distributions made on and after October 1 of the year for which the respective census is conducted.

"Rate" means a figure determined each May 15 by the department of management and budget pursuant to this act from applicable tax data for the preceding calendar year as reported to it by the department of treasury and applicable to payments made during the succeeding period of July 1 to June 30.
