Provides that each report shall include a recommendation from the Department of Human Services and one from an association representing Illinois sheriffs whether to continue the pilot study. Provides that if either report indicates that there are serious deleterious effects from the new provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or that the new provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 are not producing adequate results, the General Assembly may take necessary steps to eliminate the new provisions prior to January 1, 2014.

Provides that the new provision is inoperative on and after January 1, 2014. Effective immediately.
