(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.

of this
subsection when the

adjudicated under the Juvenile Court Act or the
Juvenile |
Court Act of 1987. Such reporting requirements shall also |
apply to
individuals adjudicated under the Juvenile Court |
Act or the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987 who have committed a |
violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, or
similar |
provision of a local ordinance, or Section 9-3 of the |
Criminal Code
of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, |

Act of 1987 based on any offense determined to have been |
committed in furtherance of the criminal activities of an |
organized gang, as provided in Section 5-710 of that Act, |
if those activities involved the operation or use of a |
motor vehicle. It shall be the duty of the clerk of the |
court in which
adjudication is had within 5 days |

of the adjudication and the court order requiring the |
Secretary
of State to suspend the minor's driver's license |
and driving privilege for such
time as determined by the |
court, but only until he or she attains the age of 18
|
years. All juvenile court dispositions reported to the |
Secretary of State
under this provision shall be processed |
by the Secretary of State as if the
cases had been |

information
reported relative to the offense of reckless |

police officers.

The reporting requirements of this subsection (a) |
apply to all violations listed in paragraphs (1) and (2) |
of this subsection (a), excluding parking violations, when |

bail,
security or bond given to secure |

such court if such court has no clerk, within |
|
5 days thereafter to
forward to the Secretary of State a |
report of the vacation.
|
(4) A report of any disposition of court supervision |
for a
violation of
Sections 6-303, 11-401, 11-501 or a |
similar provision of a local ordinance,
11-503, 11-504, |
and 11-506 of this Code, Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile |
Registration and Safety Act, and Section 5-16 of the Boat |
Registration and Safety Act shall be forwarded to the |
Secretary of State.
A report of any disposition of court |
supervision for a violation of an offense
defined as a |
serious traffic violation in this Code or a similar |
provision of a
local ordinance committed by a person under |
the age of 21 years shall be
forwarded to the Secretary of |
State.
|
(5) Reports of conviction
under this Code
and |
sentencing hearings under the
Juvenile Court
Act of 1987 |

or a computer processible medium
|
shall
be
forwarded to the Secretary of State via the |
Supreme Court in the form and
format required by the |
Illinois Supreme Court and established by a written
|
agreement between the Supreme Court and the Secretary of |
State.
In counties with a population over 300,000, instead |
of forwarding reports to
the Supreme Court, reports of |
conviction
under this Code
and sentencing hearings under |
the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in an electronic format
or a |
computer processible medium
may
be forwarded to the |
|
Secretary of State by the Circuit Court Clerk in a form and
|
format required by the Secretary of State and established |
by written agreement
between the Circuit Court Clerk and |
the Secretary of State. Failure to
forward the reports of |
conviction or sentencing hearing under the Juvenile
Court |
Act of 1987 as required by this Section shall be
deemed an |
omission of duty and it shall be the duty of the several |
State's
Attorneys to enforce the requirements of this |
Section.
|
(b) Whenever a restricted driving permit is forwarded to a |
court, as a
result of confiscation by a police officer |
pursuant to the authority in
Section 6-113(f), it shall be the |
duty of the clerk, or judge, if the court
has no clerk, to |
forward such restricted driving permit and a facsimile of
the |
officer's citation to the Secretary of State as expeditiously |
as
practicable.
|
(c) For the purposes of this Code, a forfeiture of bail or |
collateral
deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in |
court when forfeiture
has not been vacated, or the failure of a |
defendant to appear for trial
after depositing his driver's |
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
of the court shall |
|
forward to the Secretary of State,
on a form prescribed
by the |
Secretary, records of a driver's participation in a driver |
remedial
or rehabilitative program which was required, through |
a court order or court
supervision, in relation to the |
driver's arrest for a violation of Section
11-501 of this Code |
or a similar provision of a local ordinance.
The clerk of the |
court shall also forward to the Secretary, either on
paper or |
in an electronic format or a computer processible medium as |
required
under paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this |
Section, any disposition
of court supervision for any traffic |
violation,
excluding those offenses listed in paragraph (2)
of |
subsection (a) of this Section.
These reports
shall be sent |
within 5
days after disposition, or, if
the driver is
referred |
to a driver
remedial or rehabilitative program, within 5 days |
of the driver's referral
to that program.
These reports |
received by the Secretary of State, including those required |
to
be forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged |
information, available
only (i) to the affected driver, (ii) |
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 |
|
an offense while driving a commercial motor vehicle. These |
reports shall be recorded to the driver's record as a |
conviction for use in the disqualification of the driver's |
commercial motor vehicle privileges and shall not be |
privileged information.

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 .

Sec. 110-3. Issuance of warrant. Upon failure to comply |
with any condition of a bail bond or recognizance,
the court |
having jurisdiction at the time of such failure may, in |
addition
to any other action provided by law, issue a warrant |
for the arrest of the
person at liberty on bail or his own |
recognizance.
The contents of such a warrant shall be the same |
as required for an arrest
warrant issued upon complaint. When |
a defendant is at liberty on bail or
his own recognizance on a
|
felony charge and fails to appear in court as directed, the |
court shall
issue a warrant for the arrest of such person. Such |
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.

sexual |
orientation or ethnic hatred,

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 |

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

penitentiary |
within 20 years preceding the current charge if a
penitentiary |
sentence was imposed in Illinois or other state or federal
|
jurisdiction, the defendant's records of juvenile adjudication |

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 |
purposes of this Section,
"organized gang" has the meaning |
ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois
Streetgang |
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.
|
(a-5) There shall be a presumption that any conditions of |
release imposed shall be non-monetary in nature and the court |
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, |
curfews, drug counseling, stay-away orders, and in-person |
reporting. The court shall consider the defendant's |
socio-economic circumstance when setting conditions of release |
or imposing monetary bail. |
(b) The amount of bail shall be:
|
(1) Sufficient to assure compliance with the |
|
conditions set forth in the
bail bond, which shall include |
the defendant's current address with a written
|
admonishment to the defendant that he or she must comply |
with the provisions of
Section 110-12 regarding any change |
in his or her address. The defendant's
address shall at |
all times remain a matter of public record with the clerk
|
of the court.
|
(2) Not oppressive.
|
(3) Considerate of the financial ability of the |
accused.
|
(4) When a person is charged with a drug related |
offense involving
possession or delivery of cannabis or |
possession or delivery of a
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.
|
(b-5) Upon the filing of a written request demonstrating |
reasonable cause, the State's Attorney may request a source of |
bail hearing either before or after the posting of any funds.
|
|
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, |
the following: |
(1) the background, character, reputation, and |
relationship to the accused of any surety; and |
(2) the source of any money or property deposited by |
any surety, and whether any such money or property |
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. |
Upon setting the hearing, the court shall examine, under |
oath, any persons who may possess material information. |
The State's Attorney has a right to attend the hearing, to |
call witnesses and to examine any witness in the proceeding. |
The court shall, upon request of the State's Attorney, |
|
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.
|
(e) The State may appeal any order granting bail or |
setting
a given amount for bail. |
(f) When a person is charged with 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 or when a person is |
charged with domestic battery, aggravated domestic battery, |
kidnapping, aggravated kidnaping, unlawful restraint, |
aggravated unlawful restraint, stalking, aggravated stalking, |
cyberstalking, harassment by telephone, harassment through |
electronic communications, or an attempt to commit first |
degree murder committed against an intimate partner regardless |
whether an order of protection has been issued against the |
person, |
|
(1) whether the alleged incident involved harassment |
or abuse, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence Act |
of 1986; |
(2) whether the person has a history of domestic |
violence, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence |
Act, or a history of other criminal acts; |
(3) based on the mental health of the person; |
(4) whether the person has a history of violating the |
orders of any court or governmental entity; |
(5) whether the person has been, or is, potentially a |
threat to any other person; |
(6) whether the person has access to deadly weapons or |
a history of using deadly weapons; |
(7) whether the person has a history of abusing |
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 |
between the person and the alleged victim has recently |
occurred or is pending; |
|
(10) whether the person has exhibited obsessive or |
controlling behaviors toward the alleged victim, |
including, but not limited to, stalking, surveillance, or |
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.

|
(e) If a person remains in pretrial detention 48 hours |
after his or her pretrial conditions hearing after having been |
ordered released with pretrial conditions, the court shall |
hold a hearing to determine the reason for continued |
detention. If the reason for continued detention is due to the |
unavailability or the defendant's ineligibility for one or |
more pretrial conditions previously ordered by the court or |
directed by a pretrial services agency, the court shall reopen |
the conditions of release hearing to determine what available |
pretrial conditions exist that will reasonably ensure assure |
the appearance of a defendant as required , or the safety of any |
other person , and the likelihood of compliance by the |
defendant with all the conditions of pretrial release. The |
inability of the defendant to pay for a condition of release or |
any other ineligibility for a condition of pretrial release |
shall not be used as a justification for the pretrial |
detention of that defendant. |
(f) Prior to the defendant's first appearance, and with |
sufficient time for meaningful attorney-client contact to |
gather information in order to advocate effectively for the |
defendant's pretrial release, the court Court shall appoint |
the public defender or a licensed attorney at law of this State |
to represent the defendant for purposes of that hearing, |
unless the defendant has obtained licensed counsel for |
themselves . Defense counsel shall have access to the same |
documentary information relied upon by the prosecution and |
|
presented to the court. |
(f-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant |
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 |

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 |
Corrections. The court may give custodial credit to a |
defendant for each day the defendant was subjected to GPS |
monitoring without home confinement or electronic monitoring |
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 |

protection under Article 112A of this Code .
|
(k) The State and defendants may appeal court orders |
imposing conditions of pretrial release. |

detainee would pose a real and present threat to the |
physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense and |
continuing custody is necessary to prevent the fulfillment |

|
Sec. 110-6. Modification of bail or conditions. |
(a) Upon verified application by
the State or the |
defendant or on its own motion the court before which the
|
proceeding is
pending may increase or reduce the amount of |
bail or may alter the
conditions of the bail bond or grant bail |
where it has been previously
revoked or denied.
If bail has |
been previously revoked pursuant to subsection (f) of this
|
Section or if bail has been denied to the defendant pursuant to |
subsection
(e) of Section 110-6.1 or subsection (e) of Section |
110-6.3, the defendant
shall
be required to present a
verified |
application setting forth in detail any new facts not known or
|
obtainable at the time of the previous revocation or denial of |
bail
proceedings. If the court grants bail where it has been |
previously revoked
or denied, the court shall state on the |
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 |

defendant is on bail for the |
alleged
commission of a felony, or where the defendant is on |

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 |

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.

|
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 |

|
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 |
nature, or lack of any such history.
|
(3) The identity of any person or persons to whose |
safety the defendant
is believed to pose a threat, and the |
nature of the threat;
|
(4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the |
defendant, together with
the circumstances surrounding |
them;
|
(5) The age and physical condition of any person |
|
assaulted
by the defendant;
|
(6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have |
access to any
weapon or weapons;
|
(7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any |
other offense or
arrest, the defendant was on probation, |
parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised
release or |
other release from custody pending trial, sentencing, |
appeal or
completion of sentence for an offense under |
federal or state law;
|
(8) Any other factors, including those listed in |
Section 110-5 of this
Article deemed by the court to have a |
reasonable bearing upon the
defendant's propensity or |
reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive
behavior, or |
lack of such behavior.
|
(e) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for |
detention:
|
(1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's |
culpability and its
reasons for concluding that the |
defendant should be held without bail;
|
(2) direct that the defendant be committed to the |
custody of the sheriff
for confinement in the county jail |
pending trial;
|
(3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable |
opportunity for
private consultation with counsel, and for |
communication with others of his
choice by visitation, |
mail and telephone; and
|
|
(4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as |
required for
appearances in connection with court |
proceedings.
|
(f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the |
defendant
pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, the |
defendant
shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he |
is
detained within 90 days after the date on which the order |
for detention was
entered. 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.
|
(g) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled |
to appeal any
order entered under this Section denying bail to |
the defendant.
|
(h) The State may appeal any order entered under this |
Section denying any
motion for denial of bail.
|
(i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as |
modifying or limiting
in any way the defendant's presumption |
of innocence in further criminal
proceedings.

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 |
serious physical harm to an identifiable 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, or a sex offense.
|
(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 |
nature, or lack of any such history.
|
(3) The identity of any person or persons to whose |
safety the defendant
is believed to pose a threat, and the |
nature of the threat . ;

them . ;
|
(5) The age and physical condition of the defendant . ;
|

complaining witness . ; |
(7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have |
access to any
weapon or weapons . ;
|
(8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any |
other offense or
arrest, the defendant was on probation, |
parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised
release or |
other release from custody pending trial, sentencing, |
appeal or
completion of sentence for an offense under |
federal or state law . ;
|
(9) Any other factors, including those listed in |
Section 110-5 of this
Article deemed by the court to have a |
reasonable bearing upon the
defendant's propensity or |
reputation for violent, abusive , or assaultive
behavior, |
or lack of such behavior.
|
(h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for |
|
detention:
|
(1) make a written finding summarizing briefly |
summarize the evidence of the defendant's guilt or |
innocence, and the court's
reasons for concluding that the |
defendant should be denied pretrial release , including why |
less restrictive conditions would not avoid 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, or prevent the defendant's willful flight from |
prosecution ;
|
(2) direct that the defendant be committed to the |
custody of the sheriff
for confinement in the county jail |
pending trial;
|
(3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable |
opportunity for
private consultation with counsel, and for |
communication with others of his
or her choice by |
visitation, mail and telephone; and
|
(4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as |
required for

|
(i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the |
detention of the defendant
pursuant to subsection (e) of this |
Section, the defendant
shall be brought to trial on the |
offense for which he is
detained within 90 days after the date |
on which the order for detention was
entered. If the defendant |
is not brought to trial within the 90-day 90 day period
|
|
required by the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied |
pretrial release. In computing the 90-day 90 day period, the |
court shall omit any period of
delay resulting from a |
continuance granted at the request of the defendant and any |
period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at the |
request of the State with good cause shown pursuant to Section |
103-5 .
|
(i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant |
before the court, the judge must find that continued detention |
is necessary to avoid 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, or to prevent the |
defendant's willful flight from prosecution. |
(j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant Any person |

Section denying his or her pretrial release to the defendant .
|
(k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under |

|
proceedings. |

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 |

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. |

been deposited. |

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 |

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.

|
the
Cannabis Control Act that is classified as a Class 2 or |
greater felony, or any
felony violation of Article 24 of |
the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; the |
court
may,
however, forgo the imposition of this condition |
when the

impractical;
if the |
Firearm Owner's Identification Card is confiscated, the |
clerk of the circuit court shall mail the confiscated card |
to the Illinois State Police; all legally possessed |
firearms shall be returned to the person upon
the charges |
being dismissed, or if the person is found not guilty, |
unless the
finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity; |

submit to a
psychological
evaluation when the person has |
been charged with a violation of item (4) of

including any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted
by a |
school to
transport students to or from school or a |
school-related activity, or on any public way within

feet of real property comprising any school. Upon receipt of |
the psychological evaluation,

defendant may request a change in the conditions of bail, |
pursuant to
Section 110-6 of this Code. The court may change |
the conditions of bail to include a
requirement that the |
defendant follow the recommendations of the psychological |
evaluation,
including undergoing psychiatric treatment. The |
conclusions of the
psychological evaluation and
any statements |
elicited from the defendant during its administration are not

on the charged offense, unless the
defendant places his or her
|
mental competency in issue.

Sec. 110-10. Conditions of pretrial release.
|
(a) If a person is released prior to conviction, the |
conditions of pretrial release shall be that he or she will:
|
(1) Appear to answer the charge in the court having |
jurisdiction on
a day certain and thereafter as ordered by |
the court until discharged or
final order of the court;
|
(2) Submit himself or herself to the orders and |
process of the court;
|
(3) (Blank);
|
(4) Not violate any criminal statute of any |
jurisdiction;
|
(5) At a time and place designated by the court, |
surrender all firearms
in his or her possession to a law |
enforcement officer designated by the court
to take |
|
custody of and impound the firearms
and physically
|
surrender his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card |
to the clerk of the
circuit court
when the offense the |
person has
been charged with is a forcible felony, |
stalking, aggravated stalking, domestic
battery, any |
violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the |
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or |
the
Cannabis Control Act that is classified as a Class 2 or |
greater felony, or any
felony violation of Article 24 of |
the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; the |
court
may,
however, forgo the imposition of this condition |
when the
circumstances of the
case clearly do not warrant |
it or when its imposition would be
impractical;
if the |
Firearm Owner's Identification Card is confiscated, the |
clerk of the circuit court shall mail the confiscated card |
to the Illinois State Police; all legally possessed |
firearms shall be returned to the person upon
the charges |
being dismissed, or if the person is found not guilty, |
unless the
finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity; |
and
|
(6) At a time and place designated by the court, |
submit to a
psychological
evaluation when the person has |
been charged with a violation of item (4) of
subsection
|
(a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the |
Criminal Code of 2012 and that violation occurred in
a |
school
or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted |
|
by a school to transport
students to or
from school or a |
school-related activity, or on any public way within 1,000
|
feet of real
property comprising any school.
|
Psychological evaluations ordered pursuant to this Section |
shall be completed
promptly
and made available to the State, |
the defendant, and the court. As a further
condition of |
pretrial release under
these circumstances, the court shall |
order the defendant to refrain from
entering upon the
property |
of the school, including any conveyance owned, leased, or |
contracted
by a school to
transport students to or from school |
or a school-related activity, or on any public way within
|
1,000 feet of real property comprising any school. Upon |
receipt of the psychological evaluation,
either the State or |
the defendant may request a change in the conditions of |
pretrial release, pursuant to
Section 110-6 of this Code. The |
court may change the conditions of pretrial release to include |
a
requirement that the defendant follow the recommendations of |
the psychological evaluation,
including undergoing psychiatric |
treatment. The conclusions of the
psychological evaluation and
|
any statements elicited from the defendant during its |
administration are not
admissible as evidence
of guilt during |
the course of any trial on the charged offense, unless the
|
defendant places his or her
mental competency in issue.
|
(b) Additional conditions of release shall be set only |
when it is determined that they are necessary to ensure the |
defendant's appearance in court, ensure the defendant does not |
|
commit any criminal offense, ensure the defendant complies |
with all conditions of pretrial release, The court may impose |
other conditions, such as the following, if the
court finds |
that such conditions are reasonably necessary to assure the
|
defendant's appearance in court, protect the public from the |
defendant, or
prevent the defendant's unlawful interference |
with the orderly administration
of justice , or ensure |
compliance with the rules and procedures of problem solving |
courts. However, conditions shall include the least |
restrictive means and be individualized. Conditions shall not |
mandate rehabilitative services unless directly tied to the |
risk of pretrial misconduct. Conditions of supervision shall |
not include punitive measures such as community service work |

the |
defendant to pay to the Clerk of the Circuit Court a reasonable |
sum
to reimburse either the county or the State for such |
representation.
In a hearing to determine the amount of the
|
payment, the court shall consider the affidavit prepared by |
the defendant
under Section 113-3 of this Code and any other |
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
the prosecutor State's Attorney at any time after |
the appointment of counsel but no
later than 90 days after the |

is appealing a conviction
of any class offense.
|
(c) The method of any payment required under this Section |
shall be as
specified by the Court. The court may order that |

representation; however, the sum deposited as
money bond shall |

110-7 of this Code may be used in the
court's discretion in |
whole or in part to comply with any payment order
entered in |
|
accordance with paragraph
(a) of this Section. The court may |
give special consideration to the interests
of relatives or |
other third parties who may have posted a money bond on
the |
behalf of the defendant to secure his release. At any time |
prior to
full payment of any payment order the court on its own |
motion or the motion
of any party may reduce, increase, or |
suspend the ordered payment, or modify
the method of payment, |
as the interest of fairness may require. No increase,
|
suspension, or reduction may be ordered without a hearing and |
notice
to all parties.

rule for
procedures for the enforcement of orders entered |
under this Section.
Such rules may provide for the assessment |
of all costs, including
attorneys' fees which are required for |
the enforcement of orders entered
under this Section when the |
court in an enforcement proceeding has first
found that the |
defendant has willfully refused to pay. The Clerk of the
|
Circuit Court shall keep records and make reports to the court |
concerning
funds paid under this Section in whatever manner |
the court directs.
|
(e) Whenever an order is entered under this Section for |
the reimbursement
of the State due to the appointment of the |

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.

under this Section
paid for the reimbursement of the county, |

entered under this
Section may be punished for contempt of |
