Sec. 1.  15 MRSA §1023, sub-§5, as amended by PL 2021, c. 397, §1, is further 
amended to read:
5.  Fees.  A bail commissioner is entitled to receive a fee not to exceed $60 for the 
charges pursuant to which the defendant is presently in custody, unless the defendant lacks 
the present financial ability to pay the fee.  A defendant presently in custody who is 
qualified to be released upon personal recognizance or upon execution of an unsecured 
appearance bond, whether or not accompanied by one or more conditions of bail that have 
been set by a judicial officer, but who in fact lacks the present financial ability to pay a bail 
commissioner fee, must nonetheless be released upon personal recognizance or upon 
execution of an unsecured appearance bond.  A bail commissioner may not refuse to 
examine a person to determine the person's eligibility for bail, set bail, prepare the personal 
recognizance or bond or take acknowledgement of the person in custody because the person 
in custody lacks the present financial ability to pay a bail commissioner fee.  The bail 
commissioner shall submit such forms as the Judicial Department directs that contain each 
bail identification number to verify the amount of fees received under this subsection 
number of times the bail commissioner executes a bail bond.  The sheriff of the county in 
which the defendant is detained may create a fund for the distribution by the sheriff or the 
sheriff's designee for the payment in whole or in part of the $60 bail commissioner fee for 
those defendants who do not have the financial ability to pay that fee. Funding to support 
the payment of the bail commissioner's fee must be derived from the General Fund or other 
appropriate sources. The Chief Judge of the District Court may establish rules and policies 
for submission of payment requests by bail commissioners.
A bail commissioner fee under this subsection is not a financial condition of release for the 
purposes of section 1026, subsection 3, paragraph B-1.
Sec. 2.  15 MRSA §1023, sub-§8, as enacted by PL 2011, c. 214, §3 and affected 
by §6, is repealed.
SUMMARY
This bill amends the Maine Bail Code to provide a source of funding for the payment 
of fees to bail commissioners. The bill eliminates the requirement that defendants pay the 
$60 bail commissioner's fee.
