(A) This section applies only to persons subject to citation under § 33.20(A) for a penal violation constituting a moving traffic violation who are not residents of Indiana, whether or not the person has signed a promise to appear.
(1) Except as provided under subsection (2) or (3) hereinafter, the enforcement officer shall require a person to whom this section applies to:
(a) Make a security deposit in an amount and form;
(b) Sign a security deposit agreement of a form prescribed and provided by the court of jurisdiction, a signed copy of which shall be given to the accused by the enforcement officer; and
(c) Mail the security deposit and a signed copy of the agreement to the Clerk of the court of jurisdiction in the presence of the officer in a prestamped envelope to be supplied to the officer by the court.
(2) A person who is a resident of a state with which the State of Indiana has entered into a nonresident violator agreement under I.C. 9-28-2 may make a deposit as prescribed under subsection (1)(a), but may alternatively elect to deposit his or her driver's license with the enforcement officer as security. The requirements of subsection (1)(b) and (1)(c) as to the execution of a security deposit agreement and mailing same to the court of jurisdiction still apply in this instance. The accused's copy of the security deposit agreement serves as a temporary driver's license.
(3) A person who is a resident of a state with which the State of Indiana has entered into an interstate driver's license compact under I.C. 9-28-1 is not required to make any security deposit.
(B) Security deposits made under this section shall be administered and subject to release, or to forfeiture, discharge or other action.
