5which prosecuted the case, against the accused for the amount
6of the bail and costs of the court proceedings; however, in
7counties with a population of less than 3,000,000, instead of
8the court entering a judgment for the full amount of the bond

11disposition or, if a cash bond was posted for failure to appear

13maintenance, the amount of the cash deposit on the bond, less
14outstanding costs, may be awarded to the person or entity to
15whom the child support or maintenance is due. The deposit made
16in accordance with paragraph (a) shall be applied to the
17payment of costs. If judgment is entered and any amount of such
18deposit remains after the payment of costs it shall be applied
19to payment of the judgment and transferred to the treasury of

21offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a political
22subdivision of this State, or to the treasury of the county
23wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a violation of
24any penal statute of this State. The balance of the judgment
25may be enforced and collected in the same manner as a judgment
26entered in a civil action.
