motion to set aside forfeiture. 

Pursuant to a motion filed within one hundred eighty (180) days after an order of forfeiture as provided in section 19-2915, Idaho Code, the court that ordered forfeiture may direct that the order of forfeiture be set aside, in whole or in part, upon such conditions as the court may impose, as provided by rules adopted by the supreme court, if it appears that justice so requires. If the court sets aside the order of forfeiture, then it may:

(1)  Reinstate the bail;
(2)  Exonerate the bail;
(3)  Recommit the defendant to the custody of the sheriff and set new bail; or
(4)  Release the defendant on his own recognizance.
