Under this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly, the requirement of posting monetary bail is abolished, except as provided in the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act which is a compact that has been entered into between this State and its sister states.

(725 ILCS 5/110-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-2)

Sec. 110-2. Release on own recognizance. It should be presumed that a defendant is entitled to release on personal recognizance on the condition that he or she attend all required court proceedings and the defendant does not commit any criminal offense. Detention or additional conditions should be set only when it is determined that no other conditions of release will reasonably assure the defendant's appearance in court, that the defendant does not present a danger to any person or the community, and that the defendant will comply with all conditions of bond. If the court deems that the defendant is to be released on personal recognizance, the court may require When from all the circumstances the court is of the opinion that the defendant will appear as required either before or after conviction and the defendant will not pose a danger to any person or the community and that the defendant will comply with all conditions of bond, which shall include the defendant's current address with that a written admonishment be signed by the defendant requiring to the defendant that he or she must comply with the provisions of Section 110-12 of this Code.

This Section shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purpose of relying 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 comply with all conditions of pre-trial release bond. Monetary bail should be set only when it is determined that no other conditions of release will reasonably assure the defendant's appearance in court, that the defendant does not present a danger to any person or the community and that the defendant will comply with all conditions of bond.

The State may appeal any order permitting release by personal recognizance.

(725 ILCS 5/110-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-3)

Sec. 110-3. Issuance of warrant. Upon failure of a person to comply with any condition of pre-trial release a bail bond or recognizance the court having jurisdiction at the time of such failure may on its own motion or upon motion from the State, issue an order to show cause as to why he or she shall not be found in contempt of court or subject to revocation or forfeiture of pre-trial release. 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 or forfeiture of pre-trial release. A certified copy of the order shall be served upon the person at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled hearing. 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 pre-trial release bail or his or her own recognizance. 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 pre-trial release or issuing a warrant for the person. When a defendant is at liberty on pre-trial release 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 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 pre-trial release bail and to deliver such person before the court for further proceedings. The court may not revoke pre-trial release and order the defendant detained pending trial unless, after considering all relevant circumstances including, but not limited to, the nature and seriousness of the violation or criminal act alleged, 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 and protect the integrity of the judicial proceedings from a specific threat to a witness or participant. 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.

(1) capital offenses;

(2) offenses for which a sentence of life imprisonment may be imposed as a consequence of conviction;

(4) a forcible felony without mandatory imprisonment as a consequence of a conviction of stalking or aggravated stalking, where the court, after a hearing, determines that the release of the defendant would pose a real and present threat to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense and denial of release bail is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the threat upon which the charge is based; or

(5) unlawful use of weapons in violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 when that offense 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 or felony unlawful use of weapons, where the court, after a hearing, determines that the release of the defendant would pose a real and present threat to the physical safety of any person and denial of release bail is necessary to prevent fulfillment of that threat; or

(7) a felony other than a forcible felony, if the court after a hearing, determines that the release of the defendant would pose a real and present threat to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense and that denial of release is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the threat upon which that charge is based.

(b) (Blank). A person seeking release on bail who is charged with a capital offense or an offense for which a sentence of life imprisonment may be imposed shall not be bailable until a hearing is held wherein such person has the burden of demonstrating that the proof of his guilt is not evident and the presumption is not great.

(c) Where it is alleged that pre-trial release bail should be denied to a person upon the grounds that the person presents a real and present threat to the physical safety of any person or persons, the burden of proof of such allegations shall be upon the State to overcome by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions short of detention could protect the community and preserve the integrity of the judicial proceedings from an articulable threat to a witness or participant.

(d) When it is alleged that pre-trial release bail should be denied to a person charged with stalking or aggravated stalking upon the grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3 of this Code, the burden of proof of those allegations shall be upon the State.

(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 pre-trial release 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 pre-trial release 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.
