A professional bondsman whose security deposits with the clerk of court are reduced in value below the requirements of Section 38-53-270 shall, immediately upon notice of the deficiency, pledge with the court the additional collateral necessary to comply with Section 38-53-270. No professional bondsman may sign, endorse, execute, or become a surety on any additional bail bonds in any county in this State until he has made the additional deposit of securities as required by the notice of deficiency. The clerk of court has the authority to suspend bonding privileges until the bondsman complies with Section 38-53-270. If the bondsman has any outstanding forfeitures including, but not limited to, license fees and bond estreatments, the clerk of court has the authority to suspend bonding privileges until the bondsman complies with this section. The clerk shall immediately notify all parties who were originally notified of the suspension of the bondsman's compliance with this section.
