parking or standing - Bail.

If a resident or nonresident of a municipality having a

municipal court is arrested by a law enforcement officer solely for

a misdemeanor violation of a traffic ordinance, other than an

ordinance pertaining to a parking or standing traffic violation, and

the arrested person is eligible to sign a written promise to appear

and be released upon personal recognizance as provided for in

Section 1115.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes, then the

procedures provided for in the State and Municipal Traffic Bail Bond

Procedure Act as applied to municipalities, shall govern. A

municipality, by ordinance, may prescribe a bail bond schedule for

this purpose and may provide for bail to be used as payment of the

fine and costs upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, as provided

for in Section 1115.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Absent

such ordinance, the municipal court may prescribe a bail bond

schedule for traffic offenses. The amount of bail shall not exceed

the maximum fine and costs provided by ordinance for each offense,

unless the defendant has a previous history of failing to appear

according to the terms or conditions of a bond, in which case the

amount of bail shall not exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).
