Action when a bond is rescinded/canceled and defendant re-incarcerated?

• A. Reissuance
• B. Revocation of the bond
• C. Modification
• D. Extension

Answer: (B)

When a bond is rescinded or canceled and the defendant is sent back to jail, the action is revocation of the bond. Revocation terminates the bond agreement because the defendant has violated conditions or failed to appear, leading to re-arrest and remand. The surety’s liability ends with the bond’s cancellation, and the court may proceed with forfeiture or other enforcement as allowed. Reissuance would mean posting a new bond, not canceling the existing one. Modification would adjust terms while keeping the existing bond in place, and extension would simply extend the time frame without canceling the bond.
