(A) Pursuant to sections 1-27 to 1-30, the officer shall, as soon as practicable, file the duplicate notice with the magistrate specified therein. Thereupon the magistrate shall fix the amount of bail, which in accordance with the provisions of Cal. Penal Code, Section 1275, will be reasonable and sufficient for the appearance of the defendant and shall endorse upon the notice a statement signed by the magistrate in the form set forth in Cal. Penal Code, Section 815a.
(B) The defendant may, prior to the date upon which the defendant promised to appear in court, deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail thus set. Thereafter, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendant does not appear, either in person or by legal counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited, and may order that no further proceedings shall be had in such case.
(C) Upon the making of such order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid into the county treasury for distribution pursuant to Cal. Penal Code, Section 1463.
