In plain English

The setup line. On a defendant's application, a court must issue a securing order while either (1) a criminal action based on the charge, or (2) a defendant's appeal from a conviction/sentence, is pending. ★ "Securing order" is the umbrella term for all four outcomes: recognizance, non-monetary conditions, bail, or commitment (jail).

Marked in the text: penalties, time limits, sums of money. Editorial emphasis added by this edition; it does not appear in the statute as enacted.
