Leading the fight to preserve Surety Bail for bail agents in California

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Tickets and Room Reservations Now Available

Please plan to join us this October 4th & 5th as we return to the elegant Viejas Casino and Resort in San Diego, California for CBAA’s 47th Annual Convention.

Never before has our industry faced as many challenges to its very existence whether from bleeding heart do-gooders’, a sympathetic media or even the United States Senate with it’s industry crippling legislative attacks, including SB 562, which would mandate the refund of bail premiums and SB1026, ordering the restructure of the Fugitive Recovery Laws, both of which are designed to economically strangle our industry.

On a brighter note, we welcome you to Join us in celebrating the success of the CBAA Sponsored Bill AB1927, which stops unrequested bail solicitation by licensed and unlicensed persons.

Please plan on attending this critical event and showing your support for your industry and for CBAA as we continue the fight for the Right to Bail and the Industry, we are proud to be part of.

Convention Tickets and Room Reservations are available on our Convention Page
