How to Use This Bail Schedule
(1) The purpose of this bail schedule is to fix an amount upon which a person who is arrested without a warrant may be released from custody prior to appearance in court. At and after a defendant's first appearance, pursuant to Penal Code section 1269b(b), the amount of bail, if any is allowed, shall lie with the sound discretion of the judicial officer before whom the defendant appeared, and may be greater or less than the amount set forth in this schedule, subject to the provisions of Penal Code section 1275. This schedule may also be used by a magistrate in fixing bail pursuant to Penal Code section 815a at the time an arrest warrant is issued, the amount of which lies with the sound discretion of the magistrate.
(2) Bail for an offense pursuant to this schedule shall be the sum of the amount specifically listed for the offense (pages 3-16), and the amounts listed for all applicable enhancements and prior convictions (page 17). If an offense is not specifically listed in this schedule, bail should be set according to the following schedule based on the maximum state prison term applicable to the offense:

(3) When a defendant is booked for or charged with two or more offenses, bail shall be the amount computed under this schedule for the charge having the highest bail, including applicable amounts for enhancements and prior convictions except:
- (1) where the offenses are committed against separate victims or on separate dates, or
- (2) where separate sex acts are committed on the same victim and each may be punished separately (including circumstances enumerated in Penal Code sections 667.6(c) and (d)). In addition, amounts for enhancements and prior convictions shall each be added one time per person arrested, per defendant, or per case.
