| | A BILL FOR |
|
| | | HB4142 | | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 110-6 as follows:
| 6 | | (725 ILCS 5/110-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6)
| 7 | | Sec. 110-6. Modification of bail or conditions. | 8 | | (a) Upon verified application by
the State or the defendant | 9 | | or on its own motion the court before which the
proceeding is
| 10 | | pending may increase or reduce the amount of bail or may alter | 11 | | the
conditions of the bail bond or grant bail where it has been | 12 | | previously
revoked or denied.
If bail has been previously | 13 | | revoked pursuant to subsection (f) of this
Section or if bail | 14 | | has been denied to the defendant pursuant to subsection
(e) of | 15 | | Section 110-6.1 or subsection (e) of Section 110-6.3, the | 16 | | defendant
shall
be required to present a
verified application | 17 | | setting forth in detail any new facts not known or
obtainable | 18 | | at the time of the previous revocation or denial of bail
| 19 | | proceedings. If the court grants bail where it has been | 20 | | previously revoked
or denied, the court shall state on the | 21 | | record of the proceedings the
findings of facts and conclusion | 22 | | of law upon which such order is based.
| 23 | | (a-5) In addition to any other available motion or |
| | | HB4142 | - 2 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | procedure under this Code, a person in custody solely for a | 2 | | Category B offense due to an inability to post monetary bail | 3 | | shall be brought before the court at the next available court | 4 | | date or 7 calendar days from the date bail was set, whichever | 5 | | is earlier, for a rehearing on the amount or conditions of bail | 6 | | or release pending further court proceedings. The court may | 7 | | reconsider conditions of release for any other person whose | 8 | | inability to post monetary bail is the sole reason for | 9 | | continued incarceration, including a person in custody for a | 10 | | Category A offense or a Category A offense and a Category B | 11 | | offense. The court may deny the rehearing permitted under this | 12 | | subsection (a-5) if the person has failed to appear as required | 13 | | before the court and is incarcerated based on a warrant for | 14 | | failure to appear on the same original criminal offense. A | 15 | | person may not be brought before the court for a rehearing on | 16 | | the amount or conditions of bail or release if the person has | 17 | | been convicted of a felony and the offense for which the person | 18 | | is in custody involves the possession of a firearm. | 19 | | (b) Violation of the conditions of Section
110-10 of this | 20 | | Code or any special conditions of bail as ordered by the
court | 21 | | shall constitute grounds for the court to increase
the amount | 22 | | of bail, or otherwise alter the conditions of bail, or, where
| 23 | | the alleged offense committed on bail is a forcible felony in | 24 | | Illinois or
a Class 2 or greater offense under the Illinois
| 25 | | Controlled Substances Act, the
Cannabis Control Act, or the | 26 | | Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, revoke |
| | | HB4142 | - 3 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | bail
pursuant to the appropriate provisions of subsection (e) | 2 | | of this
Section.
| 3 | | (c) Reasonable notice of such application by the defendant | 4 | | shall be
given to the State.
| 5 | | (d) Reasonable notice of such application by the State | 6 | | shall be
given to the defendant, except as provided in | 7 | | subsection (e).
| 8 | | (e) Upon verified application by the State stating facts or
| 9 | | circumstances constituting a violation or a threatened
| 10 | | violation of any of the
conditions of the bail bond the court | 11 | | may issue a warrant commanding any
peace officer to bring the | 12 | | defendant without unnecessary delay before
the court for a | 13 | | hearing on the matters set forth in the application. If
the | 14 | | actual court before which the proceeding is pending is absent | 15 | | or
otherwise unavailable another court may issue a warrant | 16 | | pursuant to this
Section. When the defendant is charged with a | 17 | | felony offense and while
free on bail is charged with a | 18 | | subsequent felony offense and is the subject
of a proceeding | 19 | | set forth in Section 109-1 or 109-3 of this Code, upon the
| 20 | | filing of a verified petition by the State alleging a violation | 21 | | of Section
110-10 (a) (4) of this Code, the court shall without | 22 | | prior notice to the
defendant, grant leave to file such | 23 | | application and shall order the
transfer of the defendant and | 24 | | the application without unnecessary delay to
the court before | 25 | | which the previous felony matter is pending for a hearing
as | 26 | | provided in subsection (b) or this subsection of this Section. |
| | | HB4142 | - 4 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | The
defendant shall be held
without bond pending transfer to | 2 | | and a hearing before such court. At
the conclusion of the | 3 | | hearing based on a violation of the conditions of
Section | 4 | | 110-10 of this Code or any special conditions of bail as | 5 | | ordered by
the court the court may enter an order
increasing | 6 | | the amount of bail or alter the conditions of bail as deemed
| 7 | | appropriate.
| 8 | | (f) Where the alleged violation consists of the violation | 9 | | of
one or more felony statutes of any jurisdiction which would | 10 | | be a
forcible felony in Illinois or a Class 2 or greater | 11 | | offense under the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
| 12 | | Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and | 13 | | Community Protection Act and the
defendant is on bail for the | 14 | | alleged
commission of a felony, or where the defendant is on | 15 | | bail for a felony
domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to | 16 | | subsection (b) of Section 12-3.2 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 | 17 | | or the Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated
domestic battery, | 18 | | aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated unlawful
| 19 | | restraint or domestic battery in violation
of item (1) of | 20 | | subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 | 21 | | or the Criminal Code of 2012
against a
family or household | 22 | | member as defined in Section 112A-3 of this Code and the
| 23 | | violation is an offense of domestic battery against
the same | 24 | | victim the court shall, on the motion of the State
or its own | 25 | | motion, revoke bail
in accordance with the following | 26 | | provisions:
|
| | | HB4142 | - 5 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | (1) The court shall hold the defendant without bail | 2 | | pending
the hearing on the alleged breach; however, if the | 3 | | defendant
is not admitted to bail the
hearing shall be | 4 | | commenced within 10 days from the date the defendant is
| 5 | | taken into custody or the defendant may not be held any | 6 | | longer without bail, unless delay is occasioned by the | 7 | | defendant. Where defendant
occasions the delay, the | 8 | | running of the 10 day period is temporarily
suspended and | 9 | | resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
| 10 | | defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days | 11 | | remaining in the 10
day period, the court may grant a | 12 | | period of up to 5 additional days to
the State for good | 13 | | cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the
right to | 14 | | proceed to hearing on the alleged violation at any time, | 15 | | upon
reasonable notice to the defendant and the court.
| 16 | | (2) At a hearing on the alleged violation the State has | 17 | | the burden
of going forward and proving the violation by | 18 | | clear and convincing
evidence. The evidence shall be | 19 | | presented in open court with the
opportunity to testify, to | 20 | | present witnesses in his behalf, and to
cross-examine | 21 | | witnesses if any are called by the State, and | 22 | | representation
by counsel and
if the defendant is indigent | 23 | | to have counsel appointed for him. The
rules of evidence | 24 | | applicable in criminal trials in this State shall not
| 25 | | govern the admissibility of evidence at such hearing.
| 26 | | Information used by the court in its findings or stated in |
| | | HB4142 | - 6 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | or offered in
connection with hearings for increase or | 2 | | revocation of bail may be by way
of proffer based upon | 3 | | reliable information offered by the State or
defendant. All | 4 | | evidence shall be admissible if it is relevant and reliable
| 5 | | regardless of whether it would be admissible under the | 6 | | rules of evidence
applicable at criminal trials. A motion | 7 | | by the defendant to suppress
evidence or to suppress a | 8 | | confession shall not be entertained at such a
hearing. | 9 | | Evidence that proof may have been obtained as a result of | 10 | | an
unlawful search and seizure or through improper | 11 | | interrogation is not
relevant to this hearing.
| 12 | | (3) Upon a finding by the court that the State has | 13 | | established by
clear and convincing evidence that the | 14 | | defendant has committed a
forcible felony or a Class 2 or | 15 | | greater offense under the Illinois Controlled
Substances | 16 | | Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine | 17 | | Control and Community Protection Act while admitted to | 18 | | bail, or where the
defendant is on bail for a felony | 19 | | domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to
subsection (b) of | 20 | | Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal | 21 | | Code of 2012), aggravated
domestic battery, aggravated | 22 | | battery, unlawful
restraint, aggravated unlawful restraint | 23 | | or domestic battery in violation of
item (1) of subsection | 24 | | (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | 25 | | Criminal Code of 2012
against
a family or household member | 26 | | as defined in
Section 112A-3 of this Code and the violation |
| | | HB4142 | - 7 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | is an offense of domestic
battery, against the same victim, | 2 | | the court
shall revoke the bail of
the defendant and hold | 3 | | the defendant for trial without bail. Neither the
finding | 4 | | of the court nor any transcript or other record of the | 5 | | hearing
shall be admissible in the State's case in chief, | 6 | | but shall be admissible
for impeachment, or as provided in | 7 | | Section 115-10.1 of this Code or in a
perjury proceeding.
| 8 | | (4) If the bail of any defendant is revoked pursuant to | 9 | | paragraph
(f) (3) of this Section, the defendant may demand | 10 | | and shall be entitled
to be brought to trial on the offense | 11 | | with respect to which he was
formerly released on bail | 12 | | within 90 days after the date on which his
bail was | 13 | | revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within | 14 | | the
90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he | 15 | | shall not be held
longer without bail. In computing the 90 | 16 | | day period, the court shall
omit any period of delay | 17 | | resulting from a continuance granted at the
request of the | 18 | | defendant.
| 19 | | (5) If the defendant either is arrested on a warrant | 20 | | issued pursuant
to this Code or is arrested for an | 21 | | unrelated offense and it is subsequently
discovered that | 22 | | the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants
| 23 | | issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be | 24 | | transferred promptly
to the court which issued such | 25 | | warrant. If, however, the defendant appears
initially | 26 | | before a court other than the court which issued such |
| | | HB4142 | - 8 - | LRB101 15210 RLC 64374 b |
|
| 1 | | warrant,
the non-issuing court shall not alter the amount | 2 | | of bail set on
such warrant unless the court sets forth on | 3 | | the record of proceedings the
conclusions of law and facts | 4 | | which are the basis for such altering of
another court's | 5 | | bond. The non-issuing court shall not alter another courts
| 6 | | bail set on a warrant unless the interests of justice and | 7 | | public safety are
served by such action.
| 8 | | (g) The State may appeal any order where the court has | 9 | | increased or reduced
the amount of bail or altered the | 10 | | conditions of the bail bond or granted bail where it has | 11 | | previously been revoked.
