Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that when foreign nationals are arrested or detained, they must be advised of their right to have their consular officials notified, and if an individual chooses to exercise that right, a law enforcement official is required to notify the consulate. Provides that at the initial appearance of a defendant in any criminal proceeding, the court must advise the defendant in open court that any foreign national who is arrested or detained has the right to have notice of the arrest or detention given to his or her country's consular representatives and the right to communicate with those consular representatives if the notice has not already been provided. Provides that the court must make a written record of so advising the defendant. Provides that if consular notification is not provided to a defendant before his or her first appearance in court, the court shall grant any reasonable request for a continuance of the proceedings to allow contact with the defendant's consulate. Provides that if consular notice is not provided before conviction and sentencing, the Appellate Court shall remand the case to the trial court if the defendant can show that he or she suffered prejudice as a result of the lack of consular notice. Provides that any delay caused by the granting of the request by a defendant shall temporarily suspend for the time of the delay the period within which a person shall be tried as prescribed by the speedy trial provisions and on the day of the expiration of delay the period shall continue at the point at which it was suspended. States that the provisions do not create any new substantive State right or remedy.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes provision that if consular notice is not provided before conviction and sentencing, the Appellate Court shall remand the case to the trial court if the defendant can show that he or she suffered prejudice as a result of the lack of consular notice.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the new provision does not create any affirmative duty to investigate whether an arrestee or detainee is a foreign national.
