The memorandum shall contain the following information:
(1) The amount of the premium payment deferred or not yet paid at the time the defendant is released from jail.
(2) The method and schedule of payment to be made by the defendant to the bondsman, which shall include the dates of payment and amount to be paid on each date.
(3) That the principal is, upon the principal's request, entitled to a copy of the memorandum.
(b) The memorandum must be signed by the defendant and the bondsman, or one of the bondsman's agents, and dated at the time the agreement is made. Any subsequent modifications of the memorandum must be in writing, signed, dated, and kept on file by the surety, with a copy provided to the principal, upon request. (1991, c. 644, s. 22.)
