Sets qualifications for an approved bail agent as a licensed bail bondsman or runner who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit. Provides for an order of arrest on notice by the probation officer that a defendant has absconded, giving the bail agent a minimum of ninety-six hours to surrender the defendant before forfeiting the bond. Effective for defendants convicted on or after December 1, 2011.
