(50 ILCS 706/10-20) | ||
Sec. 10-20. Requirements. | ||
(a) The Board shall develop basic guidelines for the use | ||
of officer-worn body cameras by law enforcement agencies. The | ||
guidelines developed by the Board shall be the basis for the | ||
written policy which must be adopted by each law enforcement | ||
agency which employs the use of officer-worn body cameras. The | ||
written policy adopted by the law enforcement agency must | ||
include, at a minimum, all of the following: | ||
(1) Cameras must be equipped with pre-event recording, | ||
capable of recording at least the 30 seconds prior to | ||
camera activation, unless the officer-worn body camera was | ||
purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency prior | ||
to July 1, 2015. |
(2) Cameras must be capable of recording for a period | ||
of 10 hours or more, unless the officer-worn body camera | ||
was purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency | ||
prior to July 1, 2015. | ||
(3) Cameras must be turned on at all times when the | ||
officer is in uniform and is responding to calls for | ||
service or engaged in any law enforcement-related | ||
encounter or activity that occurs while the officer is on | ||
duty. | ||
(A) If exigent circumstances exist which prevent | ||
the camera from being turned on, the camera must be | ||
turned on as soon as practicable. | ||
(B) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off | ||
when the officer is inside of a patrol car which is | ||
equipped with a functioning in-car camera; however, | ||
the officer must turn on the camera upon exiting the | ||
patrol vehicle for law enforcement-related encounters. | ||
(C) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off | ||
when the officer is inside a correctional facility or | ||
courthouse which is equipped with a functioning camera | ||
system. | ||
(4) Cameras must be turned off when:
| ||
(A) the victim of a crime requests that the camera | ||
be turned off, and unless impractical or impossible, | ||
that request is made on the recording; | ||
(B) a witness of a crime or a community member who |
wishes to report a crime requests that the camera be | ||
turned off, and unless impractical or impossible that | ||
request is made on the recording;
| ||
(C) the officer is interacting with a confidential | ||
informant used by the law enforcement agency; or | ||
(D) an officer of the Department of Revenue enters | ||
a Department of Revenue facility or conducts an | ||
interview during which return information will be | ||
discussed or visible. | ||
However, an officer may continue to record or resume | ||
recording a victim or a witness, if exigent circumstances | ||
exist, or if the officer has reasonable articulable | ||
suspicion that a victim or witness, or confidential | ||
informant has committed or is in the process of committing | ||
a crime. Under these circumstances, and unless impractical | ||
or impossible, the officer must indicate on the recording | ||
the reason for continuing to record despite the request of | ||
the victim or witness. | ||
(4.5) Cameras may be turned off when the officer is | ||
engaged in community caretaking functions. However, the | ||
camera must be turned on when the officer has reason to | ||
believe that the person on whose behalf the officer is | ||
performing a community caretaking function has committed | ||
or is in the process of committing a crime. If exigent | ||
circumstances exist which prevent the camera from being | ||
turned on, the camera must be turned on as soon as |
practicable. | ||
(5) The officer must provide notice of recording to | ||
any person if the person has a reasonable expectation of | ||
privacy and proof of notice must be evident in the | ||
recording.
If exigent circumstances exist which prevent | ||
the officer from providing notice, notice must be provided | ||
as soon as practicable. | ||
(6) (A) For the purposes of redaction , labeling, or | ||
duplicating recordings, access to camera recordings shall | ||
be restricted to only those personnel responsible for | ||
those purposes. The recording officer or his or her | ||
supervisor may not redact, label, duplicate , or otherwise | ||
alter the recording officer's camera recordings. Except as | ||
otherwise provided in this Section, the recording officer | ||
and his or her supervisor may access and review recordings | ||
prior to completing incident reports or other | ||
documentation, provided that the supervisor discloses that | ||
fact in the report or documentation. | ||
(i) A law enforcement officer shall not have | ||
access to or review his or her body-worn
camera | ||
recordings or the body-worn camera recordings of | ||
another officer prior to completing incident reports | ||
or other documentation when the officer: | ||
(a) has been involved in or is a witness to an | ||
officer-involved shooting, use of deadly force | ||
incident, or use of force incidents resulting in |
great bodily harm; | ||
(b) is ordered to write a report in response | ||
to or during the investigation of a misconduct | ||
complaint against the officer. | ||
(ii) If the officer subject to subparagraph (i) | ||
prepares a report, any report shall be prepared | ||
without viewing body-worn camera recordings, and | ||
subject to supervisor's approval, officers may file | ||
amendatory reports after viewing body-worn camera | ||
recordings. Supplemental reports under this provision | ||
shall also contain documentation regarding access to | ||
the video footage. | ||
(B) The recording officer's assigned field | ||
training officer may access and review recordings for | ||
training purposes. Any detective or investigator | ||
directly involved in the investigation of a matter may | ||
access and review recordings which pertain to that | ||
investigation but may not have access to delete or | ||
alter such recordings. | ||
(7) Recordings made on officer-worn cameras must be | ||
retained by the law enforcement agency or by the camera | ||
vendor used by the agency, on a recording medium for a | ||
period of 90 days. | ||
(A) Under no circumstances shall any recording, | ||
except for a non-law enforcement related activity or | ||
encounter, made with an officer-worn body camera be |
altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration | ||
of the 90-day storage period.
In the event any | ||
recording made with an officer-worn body camera is | ||
altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration | ||
of the 90-day storage period, the law enforcement | ||
agency shall maintain, for a period of one year, a | ||
written record including (i) the name of the | ||
individual who made such alteration, erasure, or | ||
destruction, and (ii) the reason for any such | ||
alteration, erasure, or destruction. | ||
(B) Following the 90-day storage period, any and | ||
all recordings made with an officer-worn body camera | ||
must be destroyed, unless any encounter captured on | ||
the recording has been flagged. An encounter is deemed | ||
to be flagged when:
| ||
(i) a formal or informal complaint has been | ||
filed; | ||
(ii) the officer discharged his or her firearm | ||
or used force during the encounter;
| ||
(iii) death or great bodily harm occurred to | ||
any person in the recording;
| ||
(iv) the encounter resulted in a detention or | ||
an arrest, excluding traffic stops which resulted | ||
in only a minor traffic offense or business | ||
offense; | ||
(v) the officer is the subject of an internal |
investigation or otherwise being investigated for | ||
possible misconduct;
| ||
(vi) the supervisor of the officer, | ||
prosecutor, defendant, or court determines that | ||
the encounter has evidentiary value in a criminal | ||
prosecution; or | ||
(vii) the recording officer requests that the | ||
video be flagged for official purposes related to | ||
his or her official duties or believes it may have | ||
evidentiary value in a criminal prosecution . | ||
(C) Under no circumstances shall any recording | ||
made with an officer-worn body camera relating to a | ||
flagged encounter be altered or destroyed prior to 2 | ||
years after the recording was flagged. If the flagged | ||
recording was used in a criminal, civil, or | ||
administrative proceeding, the recording shall not be | ||
destroyed except upon a final disposition and order | ||
from the court. | ||
(D) Nothing in this Act prohibits law enforcement | ||
agencies from labeling officer-worn body camera video | ||
within the recording medium; provided that the | ||
labeling does not alter the actual recording of the | ||
incident captured on the officer-worn body camera. The | ||
labels, titles, and tags shall not be construed as | ||
altering the officer-worn body camera video in any | ||
way. |
(8) Following the 90-day storage period, recordings | ||
may be retained if a supervisor at the law enforcement | ||
agency designates the recording for training purposes. If | ||
the recording is designated for training purposes, the | ||
recordings may be viewed by officers, in the presence of a | ||
supervisor or training instructor, for the purposes of | ||
instruction, training, or ensuring compliance with agency | ||
policies.
| ||
(9) Recordings shall not be used to discipline law | ||
enforcement officers unless: | ||
(A) a formal or informal complaint of misconduct | ||
has been made; | ||
(B) a use of force incident has occurred; | ||
(C) the encounter on the recording could result in | ||
a formal investigation under the Uniform Peace | ||
Officers' Disciplinary Act; or | ||
(D) as corroboration of other evidence of | ||
misconduct. | ||
Nothing in this paragraph (9) shall be construed to | ||
limit or prohibit a law enforcement officer from being | ||
subject to an action that does not amount to discipline. | ||
(10) The law enforcement agency shall ensure proper | ||
care and maintenance of officer-worn body cameras. Upon | ||
becoming aware, officers must as soon as practical | ||
document and notify the appropriate supervisor of any | ||
technical difficulties, failures, or problems with the |
officer-worn body camera or associated equipment. Upon | ||
receiving notice, the appropriate supervisor shall make | ||
every reasonable effort to correct and repair any of the | ||
officer-worn body camera equipment. | ||
(11) No officer may hinder or prohibit any person, not | ||
a law enforcement officer, from recording a law | ||
enforcement officer in the performance of his or her | ||
duties in a public place or when the officer has no | ||
reasonable expectation of privacy.
The law enforcement | ||
agency's written policy shall indicate the potential | ||
criminal penalties, as well as any departmental | ||
discipline, which may result from unlawful confiscation or | ||
destruction of the recording medium of a person who is not | ||
a law enforcement officer. However, an officer may take | ||
reasonable action to maintain safety and control, secure | ||
crime scenes and accident sites, protect the integrity and | ||
confidentiality of investigations, and protect the public | ||
safety and order. | ||
(b) Recordings made with the use of an officer-worn body | ||
camera are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of | ||
Information Act, except that: | ||
(1) if the subject of the encounter has a reasonable | ||
expectation of privacy, at the time of the recording, any | ||
recording which is flagged, due to the filing of a | ||
complaint, discharge of a firearm, use of force, arrest or | ||
detention, or resulting death or bodily harm, shall be |
disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of Information | ||
Act if: | ||
(A) the subject of the encounter captured on the | ||
recording is a victim or witness; and | ||
(B) the law enforcement agency obtains written | ||
permission of the subject or the subject's legal | ||
representative; | ||
(2) except as provided in paragraph (1) of this | ||
subsection (b), any recording which is flagged due to the | ||
filing of a complaint, discharge of a firearm, use of | ||
force, arrest or detention, or resulting death or bodily | ||
harm shall be disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of | ||
Information Act; and | ||
(3) upon request, the law enforcement agency shall | ||
disclose, in accordance with the Freedom of Information | ||
Act, the recording to the subject of the encounter | ||
captured on the recording or to the subject's attorney, or | ||
the officer or his or her legal representative. | ||
For the purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection (b), | ||
the subject of the encounter does not have a reasonable | ||
expectation of privacy if the subject was arrested as a result | ||
of the encounter. For purposes of subparagraph (A) of | ||
paragraph (1) of this subsection (b), "witness" does not | ||
include a person who is a victim or who was arrested as a | ||
result of the encounter.
| ||
Only recordings or portions of recordings responsive to |
the request shall be available for inspection or reproduction. | ||
Any recording disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act | ||
shall be redacted to remove identification of any person that | ||
appears on the recording and is not the officer, a subject of | ||
the encounter, or directly involved in the encounter. Nothing | ||
in this subsection (b) shall require the disclosure of any | ||
recording or portion of any recording which would be exempt | ||
from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. | ||
(c) Nothing in this Section shall limit access to a camera | ||
recording for the purposes of complying with Supreme Court | ||
rules or the rules of evidence.

collateral
deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in | ||
court when forfeiture
has not been vacated, or the failure of a | ||

license in lieu of other bail, shall be
equivalent to a | ||
conviction.
| ||
(d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State | ||
with records
necessary to properly monitor and assess driver | ||
performance and assist the
courts in the proper disposition of | ||
repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk

by the | ||
Secretary, records of a driver's participation in a driver | ||
remedial

to the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 years | ||
holding an instruction permit or a graduated driver's license, | ||
and (iii) for use by the courts, police
officers, prosecuting | ||
authorities, the Secretary of State, and the driver licensing | ||
administrator of any other state. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. | ||
Part 384, all reports of court supervision, except violations | ||
related to parking, shall be forwarded to the Secretary of | ||
State for all holders of a CLP or CDL or any driver who commits |

| ||
(a) The judge shall hold the defendant to answer to the | ||
court having
jurisdiction of the offense if from the evidence | ||
it appears there is
probable cause to believe an offense has | ||
been committed by the
defendant, as provided in Section | ||
109-3.1 of this Code, if the offense is a felony.
| ||
(b) If the defendant waives preliminary examination the | ||
judge shall hold
him to answer and may, or on the demand of the | ||
prosecuting attorney shall,
cause the witnesses for the State | ||
to be examined. After hearing the
testimony if it appears that | ||
there is not probable cause to believe the
defendant guilty of | ||
any offense the judge shall discharge him.
| ||
(c) During the examination of any witness or when the | ||
defendant is
making a statement or testifying the judge may | ||
and on the request of the
defendant or State shall exclude all | ||
other witnesses. He may also cause the
witnesses to be kept | ||
separate and to be prevented from communicating with
each | ||
other until all are examined.
| ||
(d) If the defendant is held to answer the judge may | ||
require any
material witness for the State or defendant to | ||
enter into a written
undertaking to appear at the trial , and | ||
may provide for the forfeiture of a

the witness does not appear at the trial . Any
witness who | ||
refuses to execute a recognizance may be committed by the |
judge
to the custody of the sheriff until trial or further | ||
order of the court
having jurisdiction of the cause. Any | ||
witness who executes a recognizance
and fails to comply with | ||
its terms commits a Class C misdemeanor shall, in addition to | ||
any forfeiture
provided in the recognizance, be subject to the | ||
penalty provided in Section
32-10 of the Criminal Code of 2012 | ||
for violation of the conditions of pretrial release .
| ||
(e) During preliminary hearing or examination the | ||
defendant may move for
an order of suppression of evidence | ||

of this Act or for other | ||
reasons, and may move for dismissal of the charge
pursuant to | ||
Section 114-1 of this Act or for other reasons.

Sec. 110-2. Pretrial release. Release on own recognizance. | ||
(a) All persons charged with an offense shall be eligible | ||
for pretrial release before conviction. It is presumed that a | ||
defendant is entitled to release on personal recognizance on | ||
the condition that the defendant attend all required court | ||
proceedings and the defendant does not commit any criminal | ||
offense, and complies with all terms of pretrial release, | ||
including, but not limited to, orders of protection under both | ||
Section 112A-4 of this Code and Section 214 of the Illinois | ||
Domestic Violence Act of 1986, all civil no contact orders, | ||
and all stalking no contact orders. Pretrial release may be | ||
denied only if a person is charged with an offense listed in | ||
Section 110-6.1 and after the court has held a hearing under | ||
Section 110-6.1, and in a manner consistent with subsections | ||
(b), (c), and (d) of this Section. | ||
(b) At all pretrial hearings, the prosecution shall have | ||
the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that any | ||
condition of release is necessary. Additional conditions of | ||
release, including those highlighted above, shall be set only | ||
when it is determined that they are necessary to assure the | ||
defendant's appearance in court, assure the defendant does not | ||
commit any criminal offense, and complies with all conditions | ||
of pretrial release. | ||
(c) When it is alleged that pretrial release should be |
denied to a person upon the grounds that the person presents a | ||
real and present threat to the safety of any person or persons | ||
or the community, based on the specific articulable facts of | ||
the case, the burden of proof of such allegations shall be upon | ||
the State Detention only shall be imposed when it is | ||
determined that the defendant poses a specific, real and | ||
present threat to a person, or has a high likelihood of willful | ||
flight. If the court deems that the defendant is to be released | ||
on personal recognizance, the court may require that a written | ||
admonishment be signed by
the defendant requiring that he or | ||
she must comply with the provisions of Section 110-12
of this | ||
Code regarding any change in his or her address. The defendant | ||
may be released on his or her own recognizance upon signature. | ||
The
defendant's address shall at all times remain a matter of | ||
public record with
the clerk of the court. A failure to appear | ||
as
required by such recognizance shall constitute an offense | ||
subject to the
penalty provided in Section 32-10 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 2012 for violation of the conditions of | ||
pretrial release .
| ||
(d) When it is alleged that pretrial release should be | ||
denied to a person charged with stalking or aggravated | ||
stalking upon the grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3, the | ||
burden of proof of those allegations shall be upon the State | ||
If, after the procedures set out in Section 110-6.1, the court | ||
decides to detain the defendant, the Court must make a written | ||
finding as to why less restrictive conditions would not assure |
safety to the community and assure the defendant's appearance | ||
in court. At each subsequent appearance of the defendant | ||
before the Court, the judge must find that continued detention | ||
or the current set of conditions imposed are necessary to | ||
avoid the specific, real and present threat to any person or of | ||
willful flight from prosecution to continue detention of the | ||
defendant. The court is not required to be presented with new | ||
information or a change in circumstance to consider | ||
reconsidering pretrial detention on current conditions . | ||
(e) This Section shall be liberally construed to | ||
effectuate the purpose of
relying on pretrial release by | ||
nonmonetary means to reasonably ensure an eligible person's | ||
appearance in court, the protection of the safety of any other | ||
person or the community, that the person will not attempt or | ||
obstruct the criminal justice process, and the person's | ||
compliance with all conditions of release, while authorizing | ||
the court, upon motion of a prosecutor, to order pretrial | ||
detention of the person under Section 110-6.1 when it finds | ||
clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination | ||
of conditions can reasonably ensure the effectuation of these | ||
goals upon contempt of court proceedings or criminal sanctions
| ||
instead of financial loss to assure the
appearance of the | ||
defendant, and that the defendant will not pose a danger to
any | ||
person or the community and that the defendant will not pose a
| ||
danger to any person or the community and that the defendant | ||
will comply
with all conditions of pretrial release .

the court | ||

for the arrest of the

a defendant is at liberty on bail or

warrant shall be noted
with a directive to peace officers to | ||
arrest the person and hold such
person without bail and to | ||
deliver such person before the court for further
proceedings. | ||
A defendant who is arrested or surrenders within 30 days of
the | ||
issuance of such warrant shall not be bailable in the case in | ||
question
unless he shows by the preponderance of the evidence | ||
that his failure to
appear was not intentional.

Sec. 110-3. Options for warrant alternatives. | ||
(a) Upon failure to comply with any condition of pretrial |
release or recognizance ,
the court having jurisdiction at the | ||
time of such failure may, on its own motion or upon motion from | ||
the State, issue a summons or an order to show cause as to why | ||
he or she shall not be subject to revocation of pretrial | ||
release, or for sanctions, as provided in Section 110-6. | ||
Nothing in this Section prohibits the court from issuing a | ||
warrant for the arrest of the person at liberty on pretrial | ||
release. This Section shall be construed to effectuate the | ||
goal of relying upon summonses rather than warrants to ensure | ||
the appearance of the defendant in court whenever possible. | ||
The contents of such a summons or warrant shall be the same as | ||
required for those issued upon complaint under Section 107-9. | ||
under subsection (c) upon failure to comply with any condition | ||
of pretrial release or recognizance. | ||
(b) A defendant who appears in court on the date assigned | ||
or within 48 hours of service, whichever is later, in response | ||
to a summons issued for failure to appear in court, shall not | ||
be recorded in the official docket as having failed to appear | ||
on the initial missed court date. If a person fails to appear | ||
in court on the date listed on the summons, the court may issue | ||
a warrant for the person's arrest. | ||
(c) For the purpose of any risk assessment or future | ||
evaluation of risk of willful flight or risk of failure to | ||
appear, a nonappearance in court cured by an appearance in | ||
response to a summons shall not be considered as evidence of | ||
future likelihood of appearance in court. |
(b) The order issued by the court shall state the facts | ||
alleged to constitute the hearing to show cause or otherwise | ||
why the person is subject to revocation of pretrial release. A | ||
certified copy of the order shall be served upon the person at | ||
least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled hearing. | ||
(c) If the person does not appear at the hearing to show | ||
cause or absconds, the court may, in addition
to any other | ||
action provided by law, issue a warrant for the arrest of the
| ||
person at liberty on pretrial release.
The contents of such a | ||
warrant shall be the same as required for an arrest
warrant | ||
issued upon complaint and may modify any previously imposed | ||
conditions placed upon the person, rather than revoking | ||
pretrial release or issuing a warrant for the person in | ||
accordance with the requirements in subsections (d) and (e) of | ||
Section 110-5. When a defendant is at liberty on pretrial | ||
release or
his own recognizance on a
felony charge and fails to | ||
appear in court as directed, the court may
issue a warrant for | ||
the arrest of such person after his or her failure to appear at | ||
the show for cause hearing as provided in this Section. Such | ||
warrant shall be noted
with a directive to peace officers to | ||
arrest the person and hold such
person without pretrial | ||
release and to deliver such person before the court for | ||
further
proceedings. | ||
(d) If the order as described in subsection (b) is issued, | ||
a failure to appear shall not be recorded until the defendant | ||
fails to appear at the hearing to show cause. For the purpose |
of any risk assessment or future evaluation of risk of willful | ||
flight or risk of failure to appear, a non-appearance in court | ||
cured by an appearance at the hearing to show cause shall not | ||
be considered as evidence of future likelihood of appearance | ||
in court.

any,
which will reasonably assure | ||
the appearance of a defendant as required or
the safety of any | ||
other person or the community and the likelihood of
compliance | ||

piercing ammunition or explosive
bomb device or any military | ||
or paramilitary armament,
whether the evidence
shows that the | ||
offense committed was related to or in furtherance of the
| ||
criminal activities of an organized gang or was motivated by | ||
the defendant's
membership in or allegiance to an organized | ||
gang,

victim, any written statement | ||
submitted by the victim or proffer or
representation by the | ||
State regarding the

further contact with the defendant if
released on bail, | ||
whether the offense was based on racial, religious,
sexual | ||
orientation or ethnic hatred,
the likelihood of the filing of | ||
a greater charge, the likelihood of
conviction, the sentence | ||
applicable upon conviction, the weight of the evidence
against | ||
such defendant, whether there exists motivation or ability to
| ||
flee, whether there is any verification as to prior residence, | ||
education,
or family ties in the local jurisdiction, in | ||
another county,
state or foreign country, the defendant's | ||
employment, financial resources,
character and mental | ||
condition, past conduct, prior use of alias names or
dates of | ||
birth, and length of residence in the community,
the consent | ||
of the defendant to periodic drug testing in accordance with
| ||
Section 110-6.5,
whether a foreign national defendant is | ||
lawfully admitted in the United
States of America, whether the | ||
government of the foreign national
maintains an extradition |
treaty with the United States by which the foreign
government | ||
will extradite to the United States its national for a trial | ||
for
a crime allegedly committed in the United States, whether | ||
the defendant is
currently subject to deportation or exclusion | ||
under the immigration laws of
the United States, whether the | ||
defendant, although a United States citizen,
is considered | ||
under the law of any foreign state a national of that state
for | ||
the purposes of extradition or non-extradition to the United | ||
States,
the amount of unrecovered proceeds lost as a result of
| ||
the alleged offense, the
source of bail funds tendered or | ||
sought to be tendered for bail,
whether from the totality of | ||
the court's consideration,
the loss of funds posted or sought | ||
to be posted for bail will not deter the
defendant from flight, | ||
whether the evidence shows that the defendant is
engaged in | ||
significant
possession, manufacture, or delivery of a | ||
controlled substance or cannabis,
either individually or in | ||
consort with others,
whether at the time of the offense
| ||
charged he or she was on bond or pre-trial release pending | ||
trial, probation,
periodic imprisonment or conditional | ||
discharge pursuant to this Code or the
comparable Code of any | ||
other state or federal jurisdiction, whether the
defendant is | ||
on bond or
pre-trial release pending the imposition or | ||
execution of sentence or appeal of
sentence for any offense | ||
under the laws of Illinois or any other state or
federal | ||
jurisdiction, whether the defendant is under parole, aftercare | ||

work release from |
the Illinois Department of Corrections or Illinois Department | ||
of Juvenile Justice or any penal
institution or corrections | ||
department of any state or federal
jurisdiction, the | ||
defendant's record of convictions, whether the defendant has | ||
been
convicted of a misdemeanor or ordinance offense in | ||
Illinois or similar
offense in other state or federal | ||
jurisdiction within the 10 years
preceding the current charge | ||
or convicted of a felony in Illinois, whether
the defendant | ||

sentence was imposed in Illinois or other state or federal
| ||
jurisdiction, the defendant's records of juvenile adjudication | ||
of delinquency in any
jurisdiction, any record of appearance | ||
or failure to appear by
the defendant at

whether there was flight to avoid arrest or
prosecution, | ||
whether the defendant escaped or
attempted to escape to avoid | ||
arrest, whether the defendant refused to
identify himself or | ||
herself, or whether there was a refusal by the defendant to be
| ||
fingerprinted as required by law. Information used by the | ||
court in its
findings or stated in or
offered in connection | ||
with this Section may be by way of proffer based upon
reliable | ||
information offered by the State or defendant.
All evidence | ||
shall be admissible if it is relevant and
reliable regardless |
of whether it would be admissible under the rules of
evidence | ||
applicable at criminal trials.
If the State presents evidence | ||
that the offense committed by the defendant
was related to or | ||
in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized
gang | ||
or was motivated by the defendant's membership in or | ||
allegiance to an
organized gang, and if the court determines | ||
that the evidence may be
substantiated, the court shall | ||
prohibit the defendant from associating with
other members of | ||
the organized gang as a condition of bail or release.
For the | ||

shall impose the least restrictive conditions or combination | ||
of conditions necessary to reasonably assure the appearance of | ||
the defendant for further court proceedings and protect the | ||
integrity of
the judicial proceedings from a specific threat | ||
to a witness or
participant. Conditions of release may | ||
include, but not be limited to, electronic home monitoring, | ||

| ||
admonishment to the defendant that he or she must comply | ||

controlled substance as | ||
defined in the Cannabis Control Act,
the Illinois | ||
Controlled Substances Act, or the Methamphetamine Control | ||
and Community Protection Act, the full street value
of the | ||
drugs seized shall be considered. "Street value" shall be
| ||
determined by the court on the basis of a proffer by the | ||
State based upon
reliable information of a law enforcement | ||
official contained in a written
report as to the amount | ||
seized and such proffer may be used by the court as
to the | ||
current street value of the smallest unit of the drug | ||
seized.

If the hearing is granted, before the posting of any bail, the | ||
accused must file a written notice requesting that the court | ||
conduct a source of bail hearing. The notice must be | ||
accompanied by justifying affidavits stating the legitimate | ||
and lawful source of funds for bail. At the hearing, the court | ||
shall inquire into any matters stated in any justifying | ||
affidavits, and may also inquire into matters appropriate to | ||
the determination which shall include, but are not limited to, | ||

constitutes the fruits of criminal or unlawful conduct; | ||
and | ||
(3) the source of any money posted as cash bail, and | ||
whether any such money constitutes the fruits of criminal | ||
or unlawful conduct; and | ||
(4) the background, character, reputation, and | ||
relationship to the accused of the person posting cash | ||
bail. | ||

continue the proceedings for a reasonable period to allow the | ||
State's Attorney to investigate the matter raised in any | ||
testimony or affidavit.
If the hearing is granted after the | ||
accused has posted bail, the court shall conduct a hearing | ||
consistent with this subsection (b-5). At the conclusion of | ||
the hearing, the court must issue an order either approving or | ||
disapproving the bail.
| ||
(c) When a person is charged with an offense punishable by | ||
fine only the
amount of the bail shall not exceed double the | ||
amount of the maximum penalty.
| ||
(d) When a person has been convicted of an offense and only | ||
a fine has
been imposed the amount of the bail shall not exceed | ||
double the amount of
the fine.

setting
a given amount for bail. | ||

electronic communications, or an attempt to commit first | ||
degree murder committed against an intimate partner regardless | ||

person, |
(1) whether the alleged incident involved harassment | ||
or abuse, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence Act | ||
of 1986; | ||

alcohol or any controlled substance; | ||
(8) based on the severity of the alleged incident that | ||
is the basis of the alleged offense, including, but not | ||
limited to, the duration of the current incident, and | ||
whether the alleged incident involved the use of a weapon, | ||
physical injury, sexual assault, strangulation, abuse | ||
during the alleged victim's pregnancy, abuse of pets, or | ||
forcible entry to gain access to the alleged victim; | ||
(9) whether a separation of the person from the | ||
alleged victim or a termination of the relationship | ||

isolation of the alleged victim or victim's family member | ||
or members; | ||
(11) whether the person has expressed suicidal or | ||
homicidal ideations; | ||
(12) based on any information contained in the | ||
complaint and any police reports, affidavits, or other | ||
documents accompanying the complaint, | ||
the court may, in its discretion, order the respondent to | ||
undergo a risk assessment evaluation using a recognized, | ||
evidence-based instrument conducted by an Illinois Department | ||
of Human Services approved partner abuse intervention program | ||
provider, pretrial service, probation, or parole agency. These | ||
agencies shall have access to summaries of the defendant's | ||
criminal history, which shall not include victim interviews or | ||
information, for the risk evaluation. Based on the information | ||
collected from the 12 points to be considered at a bail hearing | ||
under this subsection (f), the results of any risk evaluation | ||
conducted and the other circumstances of the violation, the | ||
court may order that the person, as a condition of bail, be | ||
placed under electronic surveillance as provided in Section | ||
5-8A-7 of the Unified Code of Corrections. Upon making a | ||
determination whether or not to order the respondent to | ||
undergo a risk assessment evaluation or to be placed under |
electronic surveillance and risk assessment, the court shall | ||
document in the record the court's reasons for making those | ||
determinations. The cost of the electronic surveillance and | ||
risk assessment shall be paid by, or on behalf, of the | ||
defendant. As used in this subsection (f), "intimate partner" | ||
means a spouse or a current or former partner in a cohabitation | ||
or dating relationship.

before the court, the judge must find that the current | ||
conditions imposed are necessary to reasonably ensure the | ||
appearance of the defendant as required, the safety of any | ||
other person, and the compliance of the defendant with all the | ||
conditions of pretrial release. The court is not required to | ||
be presented with new information or a change in circumstance | ||
to remove pretrial conditions. | ||
(g) Electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home | ||
confinement can only be imposed as a condition of pretrial | ||

combination of less restrictive condition of release would | ||
reasonably ensure the appearance of the defendant for later | ||
hearings or protect an identifiable person or persons from | ||
imminent threat of serious physical harm. | ||
(h) If the court imposes electronic monitoring, GPS | ||
monitoring, or home confinement, the court shall set forth in | ||
the record the basis for its finding. A defendant shall be | ||
given custodial credit for each day he or she was subjected to | ||
home confinement that program , at the same rate described in | ||
subsection (b) of Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified Code of | ||

without home confinement. |
(i) If electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home | ||
confinement is imposed, the court shall determine every 60 | ||
days if no less restrictive condition of release or | ||
combination of less restrictive conditions of release would | ||
reasonably ensure the appearance, or continued appearance, of | ||
the defendant for later hearings or protect an identifiable | ||
person or persons from imminent threat of serious physical | ||
harm. If the court finds that there are less restrictive | ||
conditions of release, the court shall order that the | ||
condition be removed. This subsection takes effect January 1, | ||
2022. | ||
(j) Crime Victims shall be given notice by the State's | ||
Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1) | ||
of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims | ||

record of the proceedings the
findings of facts and conclusion | ||
of law upon which such order is based.
| ||
(a-5) In addition to any other available motion or | ||
procedure under this Code, a person in custody solely for a | ||
Category B offense due to an inability to post monetary bail | ||
shall be brought before the court at the next available court | ||
date or 7 calendar days from the date bail was set, whichever | ||
is earlier, for a rehearing on the amount or conditions of bail | ||
or release pending further court proceedings. The court may |
reconsider conditions of release for any other person whose | ||
inability to post monetary bail is the sole reason for | ||
continued incarceration, including a person in custody for a | ||
Category A offense or a Category A offense and a Category B | ||
offense. The court may deny the rehearing permitted under this | ||
subsection (a-5) if the person has failed to appear as | ||
required before the court and is incarcerated based on a | ||
warrant for failure to appear on the same original criminal | ||
offense. | ||
(b) Violation of the conditions of Section
110-10 of this | ||
Code or any special conditions of bail as ordered by the
court | ||
shall constitute grounds for the court to increase
the amount | ||
of bail, or otherwise alter the conditions of bail, or, where
| ||
the alleged offense committed on bail is a forcible felony in | ||
Illinois or
a Class 2 or greater offense under the Illinois
| ||
Controlled Substances Act, the
Cannabis Control Act, or the | ||
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, revoke | ||
bail
pursuant to the appropriate provisions of subsection (e) | ||
of this
Section.
| ||
(c) Reasonable notice of such application by the defendant | ||
shall be
given to the State.
| ||
(d) Reasonable notice of such application by the State | ||
shall be
given to the defendant, except as provided in | ||
subsection (e).
| ||
(e) Upon verified application by the State stating facts | ||
or
circumstances constituting a violation or a threatened
|
violation of any of the
conditions of the bail bond the court | ||
may issue a warrant commanding any
peace officer to bring the | ||
defendant without unnecessary delay before
the court for a | ||
hearing on the matters set forth in the application. If
the | ||
actual court before which the proceeding is pending is absent | ||
or
otherwise unavailable another court may issue a warrant | ||
pursuant to this
Section. When the defendant is charged with a | ||
felony offense and while
free on bail is charged with a | ||
subsequent felony offense and is the subject
of a proceeding | ||
set forth in Section 109-1 or 109-3 of this Code, upon the
| ||
filing of a verified petition by the State alleging a | ||
violation of Section
110-10 (a) (4) of this Code, the court | ||
shall without prior notice to the
defendant, grant leave to | ||
file such application and shall order the
transfer of the | ||
defendant and the application without unnecessary delay to
the | ||
court before which the previous felony matter is pending for a | ||
hearing
as provided in subsection (b) or this subsection of | ||
this Section. The
defendant shall be held
without bond pending | ||
transfer to and a hearing before such court. At
the conclusion | ||
of the hearing based on a violation of the conditions of
| ||
Section 110-10 of this Code or any special conditions of bail | ||
as ordered by
the court the court may enter an order
increasing | ||
the amount of bail or alter the conditions of bail as deemed
| ||
appropriate.
| ||
(f) Where the alleged violation consists of the violation | ||
of
one or more felony statutes of any jurisdiction which would |
be a
forcible felony in Illinois or a Class 2 or greater | ||
offense under the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
| ||
Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and | ||
Community Protection Act and the
defendant is on bail for the | ||
alleged
commission of a felony, or where the defendant is on | ||
bail for a felony
domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to | ||
subsection (b) of Section 12-3.2 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 | ||
or the Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated
domestic battery, | ||
aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated unlawful
| ||
restraint or domestic battery in violation
of item (1) of | ||
subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 | ||
or the Criminal Code of 2012
against a
family or household | ||
member as defined in Section 112A-3 of this Code and the
| ||
violation is an offense of domestic battery against
the same | ||
victim the court shall, on the motion of the State
or its own | ||
motion, revoke bail
in accordance with the following | ||
provisions:
| ||
(1) The court shall hold the defendant without bail | ||
pending
the hearing on the alleged breach; however, if the | ||
defendant
is not admitted to bail the
hearing shall be | ||
commenced within 10 days from the date the defendant is
| ||
taken into custody or the defendant may not be held any | ||
longer without bail, unless delay is occasioned by the | ||
defendant. Where defendant
occasions the delay, the | ||
running of the 10 day period is temporarily
suspended and | ||
resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
|
defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days | ||
remaining in the 10
day period, the court may grant a | ||
period of up to 5 additional days to
the State for good | ||
cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the
right to | ||
proceed to hearing on the alleged violation at any time, | ||
upon
reasonable notice to the defendant and the court.
| ||
(2) At a hearing on the alleged violation the State | ||
has the burden
of going forward and proving the violation | ||
by clear and convincing
evidence. The evidence shall be | ||
presented in open court with the
opportunity to testify, | ||
to present witnesses in his behalf, and to
cross-examine | ||
witnesses if any are called by the State, and | ||
representation
by counsel and
if the defendant is indigent | ||
to have counsel appointed for him. The
rules of evidence | ||
applicable in criminal trials in this State shall not
| ||
govern the admissibility of evidence at such hearing.
| ||
Information used by the court in its findings or stated in | ||
or offered in
connection with hearings for increase or | ||
revocation of bail may be by way
of proffer based upon | ||
reliable information offered by the State or
defendant. | ||
All evidence shall be admissible if it is relevant and | ||
reliable
regardless of whether it would be admissible | ||
under the rules of evidence
applicable at criminal trials. | ||
A motion by the defendant to suppress
evidence or to | ||
suppress a confession shall not be entertained at such a
| ||
hearing. Evidence that proof may have been obtained as a |
result of an
unlawful search and seizure or through | ||
improper interrogation is not
relevant to this hearing.
| ||
(3) Upon a finding by the court that the State has | ||
established by
clear and convincing evidence that the | ||
defendant has committed a
forcible felony or a Class 2 or | ||
greater offense under the Illinois Controlled
Substances | ||
Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine | ||
Control and Community Protection Act while admitted to | ||
bail, or where the
defendant is on bail for a felony | ||
domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to
subsection (b) of | ||
Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||
Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated
domestic battery, | ||
aggravated battery, unlawful
restraint, aggravated | ||
unlawful restraint or domestic battery in violation of
| ||
item (1) of subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012
against
| ||
a family or household member as defined in
Section 112A-3 | ||
of this Code and the violation is an offense of domestic
| ||
battery, against the same victim, the court
shall revoke | ||
the bail of
the defendant and hold the defendant for trial | ||
without bail. Neither the
finding of the court nor any | ||
transcript or other record of the hearing
shall be | ||
admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be | ||
admissible
for impeachment, or as provided in Section | ||
115-10.1 of this Code or in a
perjury proceeding.
| ||
(4) If the bail of any defendant is revoked pursuant |
to paragraph
(f) (3) of this Section, the defendant may | ||
demand and shall be entitled
to be brought to trial on the | ||
offense with respect to which he was
formerly released on | ||
bail within 90 days after the date on which his
bail was | ||
revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within | ||
the
90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he | ||
shall not be held
longer without bail. In computing the 90 | ||
day period, the court shall
omit any period of delay | ||
resulting from a continuance granted at the
request of the | ||
defendant.
| ||
(5) If the defendant either is arrested on a warrant | ||
issued pursuant
to this Code or is arrested for an | ||
unrelated offense and it is subsequently
discovered that | ||
the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants
| ||
issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be | ||
transferred promptly
to the court which issued such | ||
warrant. If, however, the defendant appears
initially | ||
before a court other than the court which issued such | ||
warrant,
the non-issuing court shall not alter the amount | ||
of bail set on
such warrant unless the court sets forth on | ||
the record of proceedings the
conclusions of law and facts | ||
which are the basis for such altering of
another court's | ||
bond. The non-issuing court shall not alter another courts
| ||
bail set on a warrant unless the interests of justice and | ||
public safety are
served by such action.
| ||
(g) The State may appeal any order where the court has |
increased or reduced
the amount of bail or altered the | ||
conditions of the bail bond or granted bail where it has | ||
previously been revoked.

(Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 101-652 )
| ||
Sec. 110-6. Revocation of pretrial release, modification | ||
of conditions of pretrial release, and sanctions for | ||
violations of conditions of pretrial release. | ||
(a) When a defendant has previously been granted pretrial | ||
release under this Section for a felony or Class A | ||
misdemeanor, that pretrial release may be revoked only if the | ||
defendant is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor that | ||
is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial | ||
release after a hearing on the court's own motion or upon the | ||
filing of a verified petition by the State. | ||
When a defendant released pretrial is charged with a | ||
violation of a protective order or was previously convicted of | ||
a violation of a protective order and the subject of the | ||
protective order is the same person as the victim in the | ||
current underlying matter, the State shall file a verified | ||
petition seeking revocation of pretrial release. | ||
Upon the filing of a petition or upon motion of the court | ||
seeking revocation, the court shall order the transfer of the | ||
defendant and the petition or motion to the court before which | ||
the previous felony or Class A misdemeanor is pending. The |
defendant may be held in custody pending transfer to and a | ||
hearing before such court. The defendant shall be transferred | ||
to the court before which the previous matter is pending | ||
without unnecessary delay, and the revocation hearing shall | ||
occur within 72 hours of the filing of the State's petition or | ||
the court's motion for revocation. | ||
A hearing at which pretrial release may be revoked must be | ||
conducted in person (and not by way of two-way audio-visual | ||
communication) unless the accused waives the right to be | ||
present physically in court, the court determines that the | ||
physical health and safety of any person necessary to the | ||
proceedings would be endangered by appearing in court, or the | ||
chief judge of the circuit orders use of that system due to | ||
operational challenges in conducting the hearing in person. | ||
Such operational challenges must be documented and approved by | ||
the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the | ||
challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented and | ||
approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts | ||
every 6 months. | ||
The court before which the previous felony matter or Class | ||
A misdemeanor is pending may revoke the defendant's pretrial | ||
release after a hearing. During the hearing for revocation, | ||
the defendant shall be represented by counsel and have an | ||
opportunity to be heard regarding the violation and evidence | ||
in mitigation. The court shall consider all relevant | ||
circumstances, including, but not limited to, the nature and |
seriousness of the violation or criminal act alleged. The | ||
State shall bear the burden of proving, by clear and | ||
convincing evidence, that no condition or combination of | ||
conditions of release would reasonably ensure the appearance | ||
of the defendant for later hearings or prevent the defendant | ||
from being charged with a subsequent felony or Class A | ||
misdemeanor. | ||
When a defendant is granted pretrial release under this | ||
section, that pretrial release may be revoked only under the | ||
following conditions: | ||
(1) if the defendant is charged with a detainable | ||
felony as defined in 110-6.1, a defendant may be detained | ||
after the State files a verified petition for such a | ||
hearing, and gives the defendant notice as prescribed in | ||
110-6.1; or | ||
(2) in accordance with subsection (b) of this section. | ||
(b) Revocation due to a new criminal charge: If an | ||
individual, while on pretrial release for a Felony or Class A | ||
misdemeanor under this Section, is charged with a new felony | ||
or Class A misdemeanor under the Criminal Code of 2012, the | ||
court may, on its own motion or motion of the state, begin | ||
proceedings to revoke the individual's' pretrial release. | ||
(1) When the defendant is charged with a felony or | ||
class A misdemeanor offense and while free on pretrial | ||
release bail is charged with a subsequent felony or class | ||
A misdemeanor offense that is alleged to have occurred |
during the defendant's pretrial release, the state may | ||
file a verified petition for revocation of pretrial | ||
release. | ||
(2) When a defendant on pretrial release is charged | ||
with a violation of an order of protection issued under | ||
Section 112A-14 of this Code, or Section 214 of the | ||
Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 or previously was | ||
convicted of a violation of an order of protection under | ||
Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||
Criminal Code of 2012, and the subject of the order of | ||
protection is the same person as the victim in the | ||
underlying matter, the state shall file a verified | ||
petition for revocation of pretrial release. | ||
(3) Upon the filing of this petition, the court shall | ||
order the transfer of the defendant and the application to | ||
the court before which the previous felony matter is | ||
pending. The defendant shall be held without bond pending | ||
transfer to and a hearing before such court. The defendant | ||
shall be transferred to the court before which the | ||
previous matter is pending without unnecessary delay. In | ||
no event shall the time between the filing of the state's | ||
petition for revocation and the defendant's appearance | ||
before the court before which the previous matter is | ||
pending exceed 72 hours. | ||
(4) The court before which the previous felony matter | ||
is pending may revoke the defendant's pretrial release |
only if it finds, after considering all relevant | ||
circumstances including, but not limited to, the nature | ||
and seriousness of the violation or criminal act alleged, | ||
by the court finds clear and convincing evidence that no | ||
condition or combination of conditions of release would | ||
reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant for | ||
later hearings or prevent the defendant from being charged | ||
with a subsequent felony or class A misdemeanor. | ||
(5) In lieu of revocation, the court may release the | ||
defendant pre-trial, with or without modification of | ||
conditions of pretrial release. | ||
(6) If the case that caused the revocation is dismissed, | ||
the defendant is found not guilty in the case causing the | ||
revocation, or the defendant completes a lawfully imposed | ||
sentence on the case causing the revocation, the court shall, | ||
without unnecessary delay, hold a hearing on conditions of | ||
pretrial release pursuant to Section section 110-5 and release | ||
the defendant with or without modification of conditions of | ||
pretrial release. | ||
(7) Both the State state and the defendant defense may | ||
appeal an order revoking pretrial release or denying a | ||
petition for revocation of release. | ||
(b) If a defendant previously has been granted pretrial | ||
release under this Section for a Class B or Class C misdemeanor | ||
offense, a petty or business offense, or an ordinance | ||
violation and if the defendant is subsequently charged with a |
felony that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's | ||
pretrial release or a Class A misdemeanor offense that is | ||
alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial | ||
release, such pretrial release may not be revoked, but the | ||
court may impose sanctions under subsection (c). | ||
(c) The court shall follow the procedures set forth in | ||
Section 110-3 to ensure the defendant's appearance in court if | ||
the defendant: | ||
(1) fails to appear in court as required by the | ||
defendant's conditions of release; | ||
(2) is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor | ||
offense that is alleged to have occurred during the | ||
defendant's pretrial release after having been previously | ||
granted pretrial release for a Class B or Class C | ||
misdemeanor, a petty or business offense, or an ordinance | ||
violation that is alleged to have occurred during the | ||
defendant's pretrial release; | ||
(3) is charged with a Class B or C misdemeanor | ||
offense, petty or business offense, or ordinance violation | ||
that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's | ||
pretrial release; or | ||
(4) violates any other condition of pretrial release | ||
set by the court. | ||
In response to a violation described in this subsection, | ||
the court may issue a warrant specifying that the defendant | ||
must appear before the court for a hearing for sanctions and |
may not be released by law enforcement before that appearance. | ||
Violations other than re-arrest for a felony or class A | ||
misdemeanor. If a defendant: | ||
(1) fails to appear in court as required by their | ||
conditions of release; | ||
(2) is charged with a class B or C misdemeanor, petty | ||
offense, traffic offense, or ordinance violation that is | ||
alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial | ||
release; or | ||
(3) violates any other condition of release set by the | ||
court,
| ||
the court shall follow the procedures set forth in Section | ||
110-3 to ensure the defendant's appearance in court to address | ||
the violation. | ||
(d) When a defendant appears in court pursuant to a | ||
summons or warrant issued in accordance with Section 110-3 for | ||
a notice to show cause hearing, or after being arrested on a | ||
warrant issued because of a failure to appear at a notice to | ||
show cause hearing, or after being arrested for an offense | ||
that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's | ||
pretrial release other than a felony or class A misdemeanor , | ||
the State state may file a verified petition requesting a | ||
hearing for sanctions. | ||
(e) During the hearing for sanctions, the defendant shall | ||
be represented by counsel and have an opportunity to be heard | ||
regarding the violation and evidence in mitigation. The State |
shall bear the burden of proving The court shall only impose | ||
sanctions if it finds by clear and convincing evidence that: | ||
(1) the 1. The defendant committed an act that | ||
violated a term of the defendant's their pretrial release; | ||
(2) the 2. The defendant had actual knowledge that the | ||
defendant's their action would violate a court order; | ||
(3) the 3. The violation of the court order was | ||
willful; and | ||
(4) the 4. The violation was not caused by a lack of | ||
access to financial monetary resources. | ||
(f) Sanctions : sanctions for violations of pretrial | ||
release may include: | ||
(1) a 1. A verbal or written admonishment from the | ||
court; | ||

party or on its own motion, remove previously set conditions | ||
of pretrial release, subject to the provisions in this | ||
subsection section (e) . The court may only add or increase | ||
conditions of pretrial release at a hearing under this | ||
Section , in a warrant issued under Section 110-3, or upon |
motion from the state . | ||
(b) Modification of conditions of release regarding | ||
contact with victims or witnesses. The court shall not remove | ||
a previously set condition of pretrial release bond regulating | ||
contact with a victim or witness in the case, unless the | ||
subject of the condition has been given notice of the hearing | ||
as required in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 | ||
of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. If the | ||
subject of the condition of release is not present, the court | ||
shall follow the procedures of paragraph (10) of subsection | ||

of pretrial release under subsection (a) of Section 110-6.1 or | ||
subdivision (d)(2) of Section 110-6.1. | ||
(j) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant before | ||

of the defendant for later hearings or to prevent the |
defendant from being charged with a subsequent felony or Class | ||
A misdemeanor. | ||

(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652 )
| ||
Sec. 110-6.1. Denial of bail in non-probationable felony | ||
offenses.
| ||
(a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall | ||
hold a hearing to
determine whether bail should be denied to a | ||
defendant who is charged with
a felony offense for which a | ||
sentence of imprisonment, without probation,
periodic | ||
imprisonment or conditional discharge, is required by law upon
| ||
conviction, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission | ||
to bail poses
a real and present threat to the physical safety | ||
of any person or persons.
| ||
(1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to | ||
the defendant at the
first appearance before a judge, or | ||
within the 21 calendar days, except as
provided in Section | ||
110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
| ||
reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such | ||
petition is
pending before the court, the defendant if | ||
previously released shall not be
detained.
| ||
(2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the | ||
defendant's appearance
before the court, unless for good |
cause shown the defendant or the State
seeks a | ||
continuance. A continuance on motion of the
defendant may | ||
not exceed 5 calendar days, and a continuance on the | ||
motion
of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days. The | ||
defendant may be held in
custody during such continuance.
| ||
(b) The court may deny bail to the defendant where, after | ||
the hearing, it
is determined that:
| ||
(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that | ||
the defendant has
committed an offense for which a | ||
sentence of imprisonment, without
probation, periodic | ||
imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed
by | ||
law as a consequence of conviction, and
| ||
(2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to | ||
the physical safety
of any person or persons, by conduct | ||
which may include, but is not limited
to, a forcible | ||
felony, the obstruction of justice,
intimidation, injury, | ||
physical harm, an offense under the Illinois
Controlled | ||
Substances Act which is a Class X felony, or an offense | ||
under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection | ||
Act which is a Class X felony, and
| ||
(3) the court finds that no condition or combination | ||
of conditions set
forth in subsection (b) of Section | ||
110-10 of this Article,
can reasonably assure the physical | ||
safety of any other person or persons.
| ||
(c) Conduct of the hearings.
| ||
(1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and |
dangerousness shall be
conducted in accordance with the | ||
following provisions:
| ||
(A) Information used by the court in its findings | ||
or stated in or
offered at such hearing may be by way | ||
of proffer based upon reliable
information offered by | ||
the State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to
| ||
be represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to | ||
have counsel appointed
for him. Defendant shall have | ||
the opportunity to testify, to present
witnesses in | ||
his own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any | ||
are
called by the State. The defendant has the right to | ||
present witnesses in
his favor. When the ends of | ||
justice so require, the court may exercises
its | ||
discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
| ||
witness. The court shall state on the record reasons | ||
for granting a
defense request to compel the presence | ||
of a complaining witness.
Cross-examination of a | ||
complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
| ||
for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility | ||
is insufficient reason
to compel the presence of the | ||
witness. In deciding whether to compel the
appearance | ||
of a complaining witness, the court shall be | ||
considerate of the
emotional and physical well-being | ||
of the witness. The pre-trial detention
hearing is not | ||
to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
| ||
arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State |
shall tender to the
defendant, prior to the hearing, | ||
copies of defendant's criminal history, if
any, if | ||
available, and any written or recorded statements and | ||
the substance
of any oral statements made by any | ||
person, if relied upon by the State in
its petition. | ||
The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in
| ||
criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and | ||
consideration of
information at the hearing. At the | ||
trial concerning the offense for which
the hearing was | ||
conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
| ||
transcript or other record of the hearing shall be | ||
admissible in the
State's case in chief, but shall be | ||
admissible for impeachment, or as
provided in Section | ||
115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
| ||
(B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence | ||
or to suppress a
confession shall not be entertained. | ||
Evidence that proof may have been
obtained as the | ||
result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
| ||
improper interrogation is not relevant to this state | ||
of the prosecution.
| ||
(2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a | ||
finding that the
defendant poses a real and present threat | ||
to the physical safety of any
person or persons shall be | ||
supported by clear and convincing evidence
presented by | ||
the State.
| ||
(d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of |
dangerousness.
The court may, in determining whether the | ||
defendant poses a real and
present threat to the physical | ||
safety of any person or persons, consider but
shall not be | ||
limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
| ||
(1) The nature and circumstances of any offense | ||
charged, including
whether the offense is a crime of | ||
violence, involving a weapon.
| ||
(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant | ||
including:
| ||
(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal | ||
history indicative of
violent, abusive or assaultive | ||
behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such
evidence may | ||
include testimony or documents received in juvenile
| ||
proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil | ||
commitment, domestic relations
or other proceedings.
| ||
(B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological, | ||
psychiatric or other
similar social history which | ||
tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or
assaultive | ||

appear in court as required .
| ||
(f) Conduct of the hearings.
| ||
(1) Prior
to the hearing , the State shall tender to | ||
the defendant copies of
the defendant's criminal history | ||
available, any written or
recorded statements, and the | ||
substance of any oral statements made by
any person, if | ||
relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
| ||
reports in the prosecutor's State's Attorney's possession |
at the time of the hearing
that are required to be | ||
disclosed to the defense under Illinois Supreme
Court | ||
rules .
| ||
(2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the | ||
hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable
information. | ||
(3) The defendant has the right to
be represented by | ||
counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel | ||
appointed
for him or her. The defendant shall have the | ||
opportunity to testify, to present
witnesses on his or her | ||
own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
| ||
called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given | ||
adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before | ||
any hearing at which conditions of release or the | ||
detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an | ||
accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate | ||
attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to | ||
confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing | ||
conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication system, | ||
such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be | ||
undertaken consistent with constitutional protections. | ||
(3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be | ||
denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of | ||
two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused | ||
waives the right to be present physically in court, the | ||
court determines that the physical health and safety of | ||
any person necessary to the proceedings would be |
endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of | ||
the circuit orders use of that system due to operational | ||
challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such | ||
operational challenges must be documented and approved by | ||
the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the | ||
challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented | ||
and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois | ||
Courts every 6 months. | ||
(4) If the defense seeks to compel call the | ||
complaining witness to testify as a witness in its favor, | ||
it shall petition the court for permission. When the ends | ||
of justice so require, the court may exercise
its | ||
discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
| ||
witness. The court shall state on the record reasons for | ||
granting a
defense request to compel the presence of a | ||
complaining witness only on the issue of the defendant's | ||
pretrial detention . In making a determination under this | ||
Section section , the court shall state on the record the | ||
reason for granting a defense request to compel the | ||
presence of a complaining witness, and only grant the | ||
request if the court finds by clear and convincing | ||
evidence that the defendant will be materially prejudiced | ||
if the complaining witness does not appear.
| ||
Cross-examination of a complaining witness at the pretrial | ||
detention hearing
for the purpose of impeaching the | ||
witness' credibility is insufficient reason
to compel the |
presence of the witness. In deciding whether to compel the
| ||
appearance of a complaining witness, the court shall be | ||
considerate of the
emotional and physical well-being of | ||
the witness. The pre-trial detention
hearing is not to be | ||
used for purposes of discovery, and the post
arraignment | ||
rules of discovery do not apply. The State shall tender to | ||
the defendant, prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of | ||
the defendant's criminal history, if available, and any | ||
written or recorded statements and the substance of any | ||
oral statements made by any person, if in the State's | ||
Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing. | ||
(5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence | ||
in
criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and | ||
consideration of
information at the hearing. At the trial | ||
concerning the offense for which
the hearing was conducted | ||
neither the finding of the court nor any
transcript or | ||
other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
| ||
State's case-in-chief case in chief , but shall be | ||
admissible for impeachment, or as
provided in Section | ||
115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
| ||
(6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or | ||
a
confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged | ||
crime may have been
the result of an unlawful search or | ||
seizure, or both, or through
improper interrogation, is | ||
relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against | ||
the defendant. |
(7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of | ||
release , and detention prior to trial must should be | ||
individualized, and no single factor or standard may | ||
should be used exclusively to order make a condition or | ||
detention decision . Risk assessment tools may not be used | ||
as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
| ||
(g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of | ||
dangerousness.
The court may, in determining whether the | ||
defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any | ||
person or persons or the community, based on the specific | ||
articulable facts of the case, specific, imminent threat of | ||

shall not limit the State's Attorney's ability to file a | ||
verified petition for detention under Section 110-6.1 or a | ||
petition for revocation or sanctions under Section 110-6. | ||
(b) On or after January 1, 2023, any person who remains in | ||
pretrial detention after having been ordered released with | ||
pretrial conditions, including the condition of depositing | ||
security, shall be entitled to a hearing under subsection (e) | ||
of Section 110-5. | ||
On or after January 1, 2023, any person, not subject to | ||
subsection (b), who remains in pretrial detention and is | ||
eligible for detention under Section 110-6.1 shall be entitled | ||
to a hearing according to the following schedule: | ||
(1) For persons charged with offenses under paragraphs | ||
(1) through (7) of subsection (a) of Section 110-6.1, the | ||
hearing shall be held within 90 days of the person's | ||
motion for reconsideration of pretrial release conditions. | ||
(2) For persons charged with offenses under paragraph | ||
(8) of subsection (a) of Section 110-6.1, the hearing | ||
shall be held within 60 days of the person's motion for | ||
reconsideration of pretrial release conditions. | ||
(3) For persons charged with all other offenses not | ||
listed in subsection (a) of Section 110-6.1, the hearing | ||
shall be held within 7 days of the person's motion for | ||
reconsideration of pretrial release conditions. |
(c) Processing of previously deposited bail security. The | ||
provisions of this Section shall apply to all monetary bonds, | ||
regardless of whether they were previously posted in cash or | ||
in the form of stocks, bonds, or real estate. | ||
(1) Once security has been deposited and a charge is | ||
pending or is thereafter filed in or transferred to a | ||
court of competent jurisdiction, the latter court may | ||
continue the original security in that court or modify the | ||
conditions of pretrial release subject to the provisions | ||
of Section 110-6. | ||
(2) After conviction, the court may order that a | ||
previously deposited security stand pending appeal, | ||
reconsider conditions of release, or deny release subject | ||
to the provisions of Section 110-6.2. | ||
(3) After the entry of an order by the trial court | ||
granting or denying pretrial release pending appeal, | ||
either party may apply to the reviewing court having | ||
jurisdiction or to a justice thereof sitting in vacation | ||
for an order modifying the conditions of pretrial release | ||
or denying pretrial release subject to the provisions of | ||
Section 110-6.2. | ||
(4) When the conditions of the previously posted bail | ||
bond have been performed and the accused has been | ||
discharged from all obligations in the cause, the clerk of | ||
the court shall return to the accused or to the | ||
defendant's designee by an assignment executed at the time |
the bail amount is deposited, unless the court orders | ||
otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been deposited and | ||
shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount | ||
deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained | ||
by the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. | ||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in counties with a | ||
population of 3,000,000 or more, in no event shall the | ||
amount retained by the clerk as bail bond costs exceed | ||
$100. Bail bond deposited by or on behalf of a defendant in | ||
one case may be used, in the court's discretion, to | ||
satisfy financial obligations of that same defendant | ||
incurred in a different case due to a fine, court costs, | ||
restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of record. | ||
In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more, the | ||
court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf | ||
of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial | ||
obligations of that same defendant in a different case | ||
until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs | ||
and attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has | ||
been deposited and any other unpaid child support | ||
obligations are satisfied. | ||
In counties with a population of less than 3,000,000, | ||
the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on | ||
behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy | ||
financial obligations of that same defendant in a | ||
different case until the bail bond is first used to |
satisfy court costs in the case in which the bail bond has | ||
been deposited. | ||
At the request of the defendant, the court may order | ||
such 90% of the defendant's bail deposit, or whatever | ||
amount is repayable to the defendant from such deposit, to | ||
be paid to defendant's attorney of record. | ||
(5) If there is an alleged violation of the conditions | ||
of pretrial release in a matter in which the defendant has | ||
previously deposited security, the court having | ||
jurisdiction shall follow the procedures for revocation of | ||
pretrial release or sanctions set forth in Section 110-6. | ||
The previously deposited security shall be returned to the | ||
defendant following the procedures of paragraph (4) of | ||
subsection (a) of this Section once the defendant has been | ||
discharged from all obligations in the cause. | ||
(6) If security was previously deposited for failure | ||
to appear in a matter involving enforcement of child | ||
support or maintenance, the amount of the cash deposit on | ||
the bond, less outstanding costs, may be awarded to the | ||
person or entity to whom the child support or maintenance | ||
is due. | ||
(7) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or | ||
either is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a | ||
deposit of security was previously made, the balance of | ||
such deposit shall be applied to the payment of the | ||
judgment.

defendant follow the recommendations of the psychological | ||
evaluation,
including undergoing psychiatric treatment. The | ||
conclusions of the
psychological evaluation and

| ||
payment, the court shall consider the affidavit prepared by | ||

information pertaining to
the defendant's financial | ||
circumstances which may be submitted by the parties.
Such | ||
hearing shall be conducted on the court's own motion or on | ||
motion of

give special consideration to the interests
of relatives or | ||
other third parties who may have posted a money bond on
the | ||

prior to
full payment of any payment order the court on its own | ||
motion or the motion
of any party may reduce, increase, or | ||

as the interest of fairness may require. No increase,
| ||
suspension, or reduction may be ordered without a hearing and | ||

| ||

balance remains
due on such order, the Clerk of the Circuit | ||
Court shall inform the court
of this fact and the court shall | ||
promptly order the Clerk of the Circuit
Court to pay to the | ||
State Treasurer all of the sum paid.

Sec. 5-8-4. Concurrent and consecutive terms of | ||
imprisonment.
| ||
(a) Concurrent terms; multiple or additional sentences. | ||
When an Illinois court (i) imposes multiple sentences of | ||
imprisonment on a defendant at the same time or (ii) imposes a | ||
sentence of imprisonment on a defendant who is already subject | ||
to a sentence of imprisonment imposed by an Illinois court, a | ||
court of another state, or a federal court, then the sentences | ||
shall run concurrently unless otherwise determined by the | ||
Illinois court under this Section. | ||
(b) Concurrent terms; misdemeanor and felony. A defendant | ||
serving a sentence for a
misdemeanor who is convicted of a | ||
felony and sentenced to imprisonment shall be transferred to |
the Department of Corrections, and the misdemeanor sentence | ||
shall be merged in and run concurrently with the felony | ||
sentence. | ||
(c) Consecutive terms; permissive. The court may impose | ||
consecutive sentences in any of the following circumstances: | ||
(1) If, having regard to the nature and circumstances | ||
of the offense and the history
and character of the | ||
defendant, it is the opinion of the court that consecutive | ||
sentences are
required to protect the public from further | ||
criminal conduct by the defendant, the basis for which the | ||
court shall set forth in the record. | ||
(2) If one of the offenses for which a defendant was | ||
convicted was a violation of
Section 32-5.2 (aggravated | ||
false personation of a peace officer) of the Criminal Code | ||
of 1961
(720 ILCS 5/32-5.2) or a violation of subdivision | ||
(b)(5) or (b)(6) of Section 17-2 of the Criminal Code of | ||
1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 (720 ILCS 5/17-2) and the | ||
offense was committed in attempting or committing a | ||
forcible felony.
| ||
(3) If a person charged with a felony commits a | ||
separate felony while on pretrial release or in pretrial | ||
detention in a county jail facility or county detention | ||
facility, then the sentences imposed upon conviction of | ||
these felonies may be served consecutively regardless of | ||
the order in which the judgments of conviction are | ||
entered. |
(4) If a person commits a battery against a county | ||
correctional officer or sheriff's employee while serving a | ||
sentence or in pretrial detention in a county jail | ||
facility, then the sentence imposed upon conviction of the | ||
battery may be served consecutively with the sentence | ||
imposed upon conviction of the earlier misdemeanor or | ||
felony, regardless of the order in which the judgments of | ||
conviction are entered. | ||
(5) If a person admitted to pretrial release following | ||
conviction of a felony commits a separate felony while | ||
released pretrial or if a person detained in a county jail | ||
facility or county detention facility following conviction | ||
of a felony commits a separate felony while in detention, | ||
then any sentence following conviction of the separate | ||
felony may be consecutive to that of the original sentence | ||
for which the defendant was released pretrial or detained. | ||
(6) If a person is found to be in possession of an item | ||
of contraband, as defined in Section 31A-0.1 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 2012, while serving a sentence in a | ||
county jail or while in pretrial detention in a county | ||
jail, the sentence imposed upon conviction for the offense | ||
of possessing contraband in a penal institution may be | ||
served consecutively to the sentence imposed for the | ||
offense for which the person is serving a sentence in the | ||
county jail or while in pretrial detention, regardless of | ||
the order in which the judgments of conviction are |
entered. | ||
(7) If a person is sentenced for a violation of a | ||
condition of pretrial release under Section 32-10 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, any | ||
sentence imposed for that violation may be served | ||
consecutive to the sentence imposed for the charge for | ||
which pretrial release had been granted and with respect | ||
to which the defendant has been convicted. | ||
(d) Consecutive terms; mandatory. The court shall impose | ||
consecutive sentences in each of the following circumstances: | ||
(1) One of the offenses for which the defendant was | ||
convicted was first degree
murder or a Class X or Class 1 | ||
felony and the defendant inflicted severe bodily injury. | ||
(2) The defendant was convicted of a violation of | ||
Section 11-1.20 or 12-13 (criminal sexual
assault), | ||

defendant and the defendant is subsequently sentenced to a | ||
term of imprisonment by a court of another state or a federal |
court, then the Illinois sentence shall run consecutively to | ||
the sentence imposed by the court of the other state or the | ||
federal court. That same Illinois court, however, may order | ||
that the Illinois sentence run concurrently with the sentence | ||
imposed by the court of the other state or the federal court, | ||
but only if the defendant applies to that same Illinois court | ||
within 30 days after the sentence imposed by the court of the | ||
other state or the federal court is finalized. | ||
(f) Consecutive terms; aggregate maximums and minimums. | ||
The aggregate maximum
and aggregate minimum of consecutive | ||

Chapter V for the 2 most serious felonies involved. The | ||
aggregate minimum period of consecutive sentences shall | ||
not exceed the highest minimum term authorized under | ||
Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of Chapter | ||
V for the 2 most serious felonies involved. When sentenced | ||

(2) For sentences imposed under the law in effect on | ||
or after February 1, 1978,
the aggregate of consecutive | ||
sentences for offenses that were committed as part of a |
single
course of conduct during which there was no | ||
substantial change in the nature of the criminal objective | ||
shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized | ||
under Article 4.5 of Chapter V for the 2 most serious | ||
felonies involved, but no such limitation shall apply for | ||
offenses that were not committed as part of a single | ||
course of conduct during which there was no substantial | ||
change in the nature of the criminal objective. When | ||
sentenced only for misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be | ||
consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one | ||
Class A misdemeanor.
| ||
(g) Consecutive terms; manner served. In determining the | ||
manner in which consecutive sentences of imprisonment, one or | ||
more of which is for a felony, will be served, the Department | ||
of Corrections shall treat the defendant as though he or she | ||
had been committed for a single term subject to each of the | ||
following: | ||

consist of the aggregate
of the maximums of the imposed | ||
indeterminate terms, if any, plus the aggregate of the | ||
imposed determinate sentences for felonies, plus the | ||
aggregate of the imposed determinate sentences for | ||
misdemeanors, subject to subsection (f) of this Section. | ||
(2) The parole or mandatory supervised release term | ||

involved. | ||
(3) The minimum period of imprisonment shall be the | ||
aggregate of the minimum
and determinate periods of | ||
imprisonment imposed by the court, subject to subsection | ||
(f) of this Section. | ||
(4) The defendant shall be awarded credit against the | ||
aggregate maximum term
and the aggregate minimum term of | ||
imprisonment for all time served in an institution since | ||
the commission of the offense or offenses and as a | ||
consequence thereof at the rate specified in
Section 3-6-3 | ||
(730 ILCS 5/3-6-3).
| ||
(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, | ||
all sentences imposed by an Illinois court under this Code | ||
shall run concurrent to any and all sentences imposed under | ||
the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

(Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 102-982 )
| ||
Sec. 5-8-4. Concurrent and consecutive terms of | ||
imprisonment.
| ||
(a) Concurrent terms; multiple or additional sentences. | ||
When an Illinois court (i) imposes multiple sentences of | ||
imprisonment on a defendant at the same time or (ii) imposes a | ||
sentence of imprisonment on a defendant who is already subject | ||
to a sentence of imprisonment imposed by an Illinois court, a | ||
court of another state, or a federal court, then the sentences |
shall run concurrently unless otherwise determined by the | ||
Illinois court under this Section. | ||
(b) Concurrent terms; misdemeanor and felony. A defendant | ||
serving a sentence for a
misdemeanor who is convicted of a | ||
felony and sentenced to imprisonment shall be transferred to | ||
the Department of Corrections, and the misdemeanor sentence | ||
shall be merged in and run concurrently with the felony | ||
sentence. | ||
(c) Consecutive terms; permissive. The court may impose | ||
consecutive sentences in any of the following circumstances: | ||
(1) If, having regard to the nature and circumstances | ||
of the offense and the history
and character of the | ||
defendant, it is the opinion of the court that consecutive | ||
sentences are
required to protect the public from further | ||
criminal conduct by the defendant, the basis for which the | ||
court shall set forth in the record. | ||
(2) If one of the offenses for which a defendant was | ||
convicted was a violation of
Section 32-5.2 (aggravated | ||
false personation of a peace officer) of the Criminal Code | ||
of 1961
(720 ILCS 5/32-5.2) or a violation of subdivision | ||
(b)(5) or (b)(6) of Section 17-2 of the Criminal Code of | ||
1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 (720 ILCS 5/17-2) and the | ||
offense was committed in attempting or committing a | ||
forcible felony.
| ||
(3) If a person charged with a felony commits a | ||
separate felony while on pretrial release or in pretrial |
detention in a county jail facility or county detention | ||
facility, then the sentences imposed upon conviction of | ||
these felonies may be served consecutively regardless of | ||
the order in which the judgments of conviction are | ||
entered. | ||
(4) If a person commits a battery against a county | ||
correctional officer or sheriff's employee while serving a | ||
sentence or in pretrial detention in a county jail | ||
facility, then the sentence imposed upon conviction of the | ||
battery may be served consecutively with the sentence | ||
imposed upon conviction of the earlier misdemeanor or | ||
felony, regardless of the order in which the judgments of | ||
conviction are entered. | ||
(5) If a person admitted to pretrial release following | ||
conviction of a felony commits a separate felony while | ||
released pretrial or if a person detained in a county jail | ||
facility or county detention facility following conviction | ||
of a felony commits a separate felony while in detention, | ||
then any sentence following conviction of the separate | ||
felony may be consecutive to that of the original sentence | ||
for which the defendant was released pretrial or detained. | ||
(6) If a person is found to be in possession of an item | ||
of contraband, as defined in Section 31A-0.1 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 2012, while serving a sentence in a | ||
county jail or while in pretrial detention in a county | ||
jail, the sentence imposed upon conviction for the offense |
of possessing contraband in a penal institution may be | ||
served consecutively to the sentence imposed for the | ||
offense for which the person is serving a sentence in the | ||
county jail or while in pretrial detention, regardless of | ||
the order in which the judgments of conviction are | ||
entered. | ||
(7) If a person is sentenced for a violation of a | ||
condition of pretrial release under Section 32-10 of the | ||
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, any | ||
sentence imposed for that violation may be served | ||
consecutive to the sentence imposed for the charge for | ||
which pretrial release had been granted and with respect | ||
to which the defendant has been convicted. | ||
(d) Consecutive terms; mandatory. The court shall impose | ||
consecutive sentences in each of the following circumstances: | ||

of possessing contraband in a penal institution shall be | ||
served consecutively to the sentence imposed for the | ||
offense in which the person is serving sentence in the | ||
county jail or serving pretrial detention, regardless of | ||
the order in which the judgments of conviction are | ||
