O.C.G.A. § 15-10-263 (2019)
No contest cash bonds; other bonds
(a) The chief magistrate of each county may by written order establish a schedule of no contest cash bonds which the accused may post when arrested or accused by warrant or citation pursuant to this article. The schedule of no contest cash bond amounts shall be sufficient to cover court costs and minimum fines as set forth in the Code section applicable to the alleged offense. At the time of posting a no contest cash bond, the receipt shall contain the following language: ‘‘IF YOU GIVE A NO CONTEST CASH BOND AND FAIL TO APPEAR FOR TRIAL, THIS BOND MAY BE FORFEITED AND, IF SO FORFEITED, SHALL CONSTITUTE A MISDEMEANOR GUILTY PLEA AND A WAIVER OF CERTAIN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS,’’ which shall be acknowledged by the person arrested.
(b) A person arrested or accused by warrant or citation pursuant to this article who does not wish to post a no contest cash bond may post a property bond or standard appearance bond to assure his or her future appearance in court.
(c) If a person who gives a no contest cash bond fails subsequently to appear for trial, such failure shall constitute a guilty plea and the no contest cash bond shall be forfeited, unless the court proceeds under the provisions of subsection (d) of this Code section. It shall not be necessary for the state to take any further action to forfeit the no contest cash bond. Forfeiture of a no contest cash bond shall be considered to constitute imposition and payment of a fine and, if so considered, shall be a bar to a subsequent prosecution of the accused for the violation.
(d) If the judge determines at the time of the nonappearance at trial of the defendant in his or her sole discretion that substantial justice will not be accomplished by the forfeiture of the no contest cash bond amount and the disposition of the charges with prejudice, the posting of the no contest cash bond shall not be considered a plea of guilty nor constitute a bar to a subsequent prosecution of the defendant for the violation, and any moneys posted under the no contest cash bond shall be held in the court’s registry pending subsequent prosecution, and the defendant shall be served with a citation for a reasonable future appearance date, and, in default of the defendant’s appearance, the court shall issue a bench warrant for the defendant’s arrest.
(e) Upon a conviction under a subsequent prosecution, the proceeds of any no contest cash bond shall be applied and distributed toward the fine and court costs imposed by the court.
(f ) If a defendant posts a property bond or standard appearance bond and thereafter fails to appear at the designated time, a bench warrant shall be issued for such person and the bond shall be forfeited as provided by Code Section 17-6-17.

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Editor's notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions under former T. 15, C. 11, A. 1, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this article, are included in the annotations for this article.
Jurisdiction over handicapped or abused children. - Juvenile courts may choose to retain jurisdiction over a handicapped or abused child, and make disposition to a person or agency other than the Department of Human Resources, as contemplated by former O.C.G.A. §§ 15-11-34, 15-11-35, 15-11-36 and 15-11-40 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 15-11-16, 15-11-18, and 15-11-32). In this way, the court could continue to supervise the child's treatment, and the costs could be borne by the county treasury, the parents, guardians, or other persons legally obligated to care for the child. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U89-6 (decided under former Ch. 11, T. 15).
Juvenile courts are without authority to compel state agencies or local school systems to provide or fund specialized services for handicapped or abused children, although a child involved is a handicapped child within the meaning of 20 U.S.C. § 1401 et seq., the Education for All Handicapped Act. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U89-6 (decided under former Ch. 11, T. 15).
