19recognizance upon signature. The defendant's address shall at
20all times remain a matter of public record with the clerk of
21the court. A failure to appear as required by such recognizance

1this Code.
2    This Section shall be liberally construed to effectuate the
3purpose of relying upon contempt of court proceedings or
4criminal sanctions instead of financial loss to assure the
5appearance of the defendant, and that the defendant will not
6pose a danger to any person or the community and that the
7defendant will comply with all conditions of pre-trial release
8bond. Monetary bail should be set only when it is determined
9that no other conditions of release will reasonably assure the
10defendant's appearance in court, that the defendant does not
11present a danger to any person or the community and that the
12defendant will comply with all conditions of bond.
13    The State may appeal any order permitting release by
14personal recognizance.

17    Sec. 110-3. Issuance of warrant. Upon failure of a person
18to comply with any condition of pre-trial release a bail bond
19or recognizance the court having jurisdiction at the time of
20such failure may on its own motion or upon motion from the
21State, issue an order to show cause as to why he or she shall
22not be found in contempt of court or subject to revocation or
23forfeiture of pre-trial release. The order issued by the court
24shall state the facts alleged to constitute the hearing to show
25cause or otherwise why the person is subject to revocation or

 

 

10100HB3347ham001- 20 -LRB101 11167 SLF 56917 a

1forfeiture of pre-trial release. A certified copy of the order
2shall be served upon the person at least 48 hours in advance of
3the scheduled hearing. If the person does not appear at the
4hearing to show cause or absconds, the court may, in addition
5to any other action provided by law, issue a warrant for the
6arrest of the person at liberty on pre-trial release bail or
7his or her own recognizance. The contents of such a warrant
8shall be the same as required for an arrest warrant issued upon
9complaint and may modify any previously imposed conditions
10placed upon the person, rather than revoking pre-trial release
11or issuing a warrant for the person. When a defendant is at
12liberty on pre-trial release bail or his own recognizance on a
13felony charge and fails to appear in court as directed, the
14court shall issue a warrant for the arrest of such person after
15his or her failure to appear at the show for cause hearing as
16provided in this Section. Such warrant shall be noted with a
17directive to peace officers to arrest the person and hold such
18person without pre-trial release bail and to deliver such
19person before the court for further proceedings. The court may
20not revoke pre-trial release and order the defendant detained
21pending trial unless, after considering all relevant
22circumstances including, but not limited to, the nature and
23seriousness of the violation or criminal act alleged, the court
24finds clear and convincing evidence that no condition or
25combination of conditions of release would reasonably assure
26the appearance of the defendant for later hearings and protect

 

 

10100HB3347ham001- 21 -LRB101 11167 SLF 56917 a

1the integrity of the judicial proceedings from a specific
2threat to a witness or participant. A defendant who is arrested
3or surrenders within 30 days of the issuance of such warrant
4shall not be bailable in the case in question unless he shows
5by the preponderance of the evidence that his failure to appear
6was not intentional.

23    release of the defendant would pose a real and present
24    threat to the physical safety of any person or persons;

4    threat to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the
5    offense and denial of release bail is necessary to prevent
6    fulfillment of the threat upon which the charge is based;
7    or
8        (5) unlawful use of weapons in violation of item (4) of
9    subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961
10    or the Criminal Code of 2012 when that offense occurred in
11    a school or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted

13    school-related activity, or on any public way within 1,000
14    feet of real property comprising any school or felony
15    unlawful use of weapons, where the court, after a hearing,
16    determines that the release of the defendant would pose a
17    real and present threat to the physical safety of any
18    person and denial of release bail is necessary to prevent
19    fulfillment of that threat; or
20        (6) making a terrorist threat in violation of Section
21    29D-20 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
22    2012 or an attempt to commit the offense of making a
23    terrorist threat, where the court, after a hearing,

1    fulfillment of that threat; or
2        (7) a felony other than a forcible felony, if the court
3    after a hearing, determines that the release of the
4    defendant would pose a real and present threat to the
5    physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense and
6    that denial of release is necessary to prevent fulfillment
7    of the threat upon which that charge is based.
8    (b) (Blank). A person seeking release on bail who is
9charged with a capital offense or an offense for which a
10sentence of life imprisonment may be imposed shall not be
11bailable until a hearing is held wherein such person has the
12burden of demonstrating that the proof of his guilt is not
13evident and the presumption is not great.
14    (c) Where it is alleged that pre-trial release bail should
15be denied to a person upon the grounds that the person presents
16a real and present threat to the physical safety of any person
17or persons, the burden of proof of such allegations shall be
18upon the State to overcome by clear and convincing evidence
19that no condition or combination of conditions short of
20detention could protect the community and preserve the
21integrity of the judicial proceedings from an articulable
22threat to a witness or participant.
23    (d) When it is alleged that pre-trial release bail should
24be denied to a person charged with stalking or aggravated
25stalking upon the grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3 of this
26Code, the burden of proof of those allegations shall be upon

3writing a statement of reasons explaining the specific risks
4posed by the person and findings of fact concerning why no
5condition or combination of conditions could reasonably
6mitigate those risks.
7    (f) If pre-trial release is denied, the defendant shall be

9    determined by the court on the basis of a proffer by the
10    State based upon reliable information of a law enforcement
11    official contained in a written report as to the amount
12    seized and such proffer may be used by the court as to the
13    current street value of the smallest unit of the drug
14    seized.

13oath, any persons who may possess material information.
14    The State's Attorney has a right to attend the hearing, to
15call witnesses and to examine any witness in the proceeding.
16The court shall, upon request of the State's Attorney, continue
17the proceedings for a reasonable period to allow the State's
18Attorney to investigate the matter raised in any testimony or
19affidavit. If the hearing is granted after the accused has

21this subsection (b-5). At the conclusion of the hearing, the
22court must issue an order either approving of disapproving the
23bail.
