It's the same number. If your bail is set at 7500, the standard amount you have to pay the bail bondsman to get out is 1/10th of that. So, she'll fork up 750. If she had the full $7500 then that amount could be paid and reclaimed once the trial was over (although once the money gets into the system it's hard to get it out again).

Actually I think the link can be made. Utah is the Mormon core. The culture starts here (I live here) and radiates outward. Almost every lawmaker is Mormon. They are informed in their economic policies by the church. This law is, in effect, largely Mormon. Church and state are not so separated here. If you lived here, you wouldn't be considered to be a very good Mormon.
