New York Criminal Procedure Law Section 520.40 - Transfer of cash bail from local criminal court to superior court.

520.40    Transfer of cash bail from local criminal court to superior
           court.
When a local criminal court acquires control over  the  person  of  an
  accused  and  such  court designates the amount of bail that the accused
  may post and such bail is posted in cash and subsequently the accused is
  arraigned in superior court where bail  is  fixed  by  such  court,  the
  accused  may  request  that  the  cash bail posted in the local criminal
  court be transferred to the superior court. Notice of such request  must
  be  given  to  the  person who posted cash bail. Upon such a request the
  superior court shall make an order directing the local criminal court to
  transfer the cash bail that it holds to the superior court  for  use  in
  the  superior  court.   If there is an overage, the superior court shall
  order it be paid over to the person who posted  the  cash  bail  in  the
  local  criminal court.  If there is a deficiency, the accused shall post
  additional bail as directed by the superior court.
