Release of funds. a. The account holder may, upon notice and motion, have a hearing to contest the freezing of funds or assets and to seek the release of all or part of them.

b. The account holder is entitled to an order releasing all or part of the funds or assets by showing:

(1) that the account holder has posted a bond or other adequate surety, guaranteeing that, upon conviction, adequate funds or assets will be available to pay complete restitution to victims of the alleged offense;

(2) that there does not exist a reasonable suspicion that the account holder has committed or is about to commit the alleged offense;
