§ 6803. Bail bond business; cities in excess of one hundred
seventy-five thousand. (a) An insurance corporation or charitable bail
organization engaged in the bail business in a city containing a
population of more than one hundred seventy-five thousand inhabitants,
according to the last preceding federal census or state enumeration,
shall file with the district attorney of each county contained in such
city or in which such a city is contained, the clerks of the supreme and
county courts and the clerk of the criminal court of the city of New
York, certified statements of the names of all persons authorized to
execute bail bonds or effectuating such deposit on its behalf or to
solicit such business as agent, together with a certificate duly
executed by the superintendent, certifying with respect to each such
person, that such person has been licensed by the superintendent
pursuant to section six thousand eight hundred two of this article.

(b) The court or other public officer concerned in the matter may
examine under oath any insurer or charitable bail organization doing a
bail business or a depositor of security for bail, or the officer or
agent of any such insurer, charitable bail organization or depositor
proposing to execute a bail bond, or to make such deposit, as to the
indemnity, if any, deposited or otherwise provided directly or
indirectly against loss by reason of the deposit or bail bond and as to
the fee charged, if any, for the giving of such bond. The court or other
public officer concerned in the matter may refuse to accept such bond or
deposit if satisfied that any portion of such security has been
feloniously obtained by the defendant, or that the provisions of this or
any other section of law have been violated, or that the person or
persons indemnifying such insurer or depositor shall have within a
period of one month prior thereto given indemnification or security for
like purpose in more than two cases not arising out of the same
transaction and that such person is not duly licensed by the
superintendent in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
