Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Counties Code. Requires the clerk of the court issuing

   enter all felony and Class A and B  misdeamanor  warrants  into  LEADS      
   within  5  days  after  receiving  the  warrant.   Allows a sheriff to      
   delegate responsibility for receiving  arrest  warrants,  serving  and      
   executing  warrants,  and  entering warrants into LEADS to another law      
   enforcement agency through an intergovernmental  agreement.   Requires      
   each  county  to  establish  a  Fugitive  Expenditure  Fund.  Requires      
   certain moneys received from the clerk of the court under the Code  of      
   Criminal  Procedure  of  1963  to be deposited into the Fund. Requires      
   moneys in the Fund to be used for the payment of the  sheriff's  costs      
   relating  to  the  execution of warrants.  Amends the Criminal Code of      
   1961. Increases the penalties for certain bail bond violations. Amends      
   the Code of Criminal  Procedure  of  1963.  Provides  that  an  arrest      
   warrant  may  not  be  issued  unless  there is sufficient identifying      
   information to distinguish the person complained  against  from  other      
   similar  individuals.   Requires  certain warrants to be signed by the      
   State's Attorney and the judge issuing the warrant.  Provides that 80%      
   of a bail bond shall be returned to the defendant  and  10%  shall  be      
   transferred  to  the  county's  Fugitive  Expenditure  Fund. Effective      
   immediately.
