House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition:

Amends GS 58-71-1(1b), the proposed definition for approved provider, establishing that it means an entity that has been issued a Certificate of Authority to provide either bail bond continuing education or pre-licensing courses in North Carolina in accordance with GS 58-71-72 (previously, had time and student taught requirements to qualify as an approved provider).

Amends GS 58-71-20 to provide that if all indemnitors and payers of the bail bond premium on the defendant's bond present a notarized written request with notice to the surety or surety's agent to terminate the bond and the indemnitor's liability, and the surety then surrenders the defendant, then the defendant may be surrendered without the return of the premium for the bond (previously, provided if any indemnitor presents a notarized request to the surety or surety's agent to terminate the bond and the indemnitor's liability, the defendant may be surrendered without the return of the premium for the bond).

Amends GS 58-71-141 to no longer specify that owed premium and unsatisfied judgments do not pertain to general agents, managing general agents, or supervising agents.
