(b)If a person cited for a violation for which a bail forfeiture amount has been established under
(a)of this section does not contest the citation, the person may, within 30 days after the date of the citation, mail or personally deliver to the clerk of the court in which the citation is filed by the employee
(1)the amount of bail indicated on the citation for that offense; and
