        (1) Require the defendant to:
            (A) execute a bail bond with sufficient solvent sureties;
            (B) deposit cash or securities in an amount equal to the bail;

            (D) post a real estate bond; or
            (E) perform any combination of the requirements described in clauses (A) through (D).
        If the court requires the defendant to deposit cash or cash and another form of security as bail, the court may require the defendant and each person who makes the deposit on behalf of the defendant to execute an agreement that allows the court to retain all or a part of the cash to pay publicly paid costs of representation and fines, costs, fees, and restitution that the court may order the defendant to pay if the defendant is convicted.

The portion of the deposit that is not remitted to the defendant shall be deposited by the clerk in the supplemental public defender services fund established under IC 33-40-3.
    (c) For purposes of subsection (b), "disposition" occurs when the indictment or information is dismissed or the defendant is acquitted or convicted of the charges.
