4 verbatim requirements from admin. order AO 3.21 - Composite Bonds (2/25/05) [Criminal].
20th Judicial Circuit. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from the operative section of this order, re-extracted 2026-07-26; whitespace normalised only. • However, in instances where a Judge of this circuit orders a composite bond, the composite bond shall be deemed to be divided into equal amounts to be applied as separate bonds to each individual case number. In situations where the composite bond is not equally divisible by the number of separate cases, the composite bond shall be deemed to be divided in a manner in which the separate bonds are rounded up or down to the nearest whole dollar so that the total of the separate bonds equals the composite bond amount, and so that the lowest bond shall apply to the case number which is lowest in sequence and the highest bond shall apply to the case number which is highest in sequence. For example, a $I 0,000.00 composite bond applied to case numbers 05-001, 05-002, and 05-003 shall be deemed to be divided as follows: $3,333.00 bond in case number 05-001, $3,333.00 bond in case number 05-002, and $3,334.00 in case number 05-003.

Reviewer note: Order PDF sha256: 160c4172d9e535c81dd0953a906f9befcb4f49e96a2fbff42f81e417e3395008. Extracted from the order's own text layer. | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. | Re-extracted 2026-07-26 from the numbered paragraphs following the order's ORDERED clause, replacing a first pass that had captured recitals and the effective date.
