Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

725 ILCS 5/110-1

(725 ILCS 5/110-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-1)

Sec. 110-1. Definitions. As used in this Article:
(a) (Blank).

(b) "Sureties" encompasses the nonmonetary requirements
set by the court as conditions for release either before or after
conviction.

(c) The phrase "for which a sentence of imprisonment, without
conditional and revocable release, shall be imposed by law as a consequence
of conviction" means an offense for which a sentence of imprisonment in the Department of Corrections,
without probation, periodic imprisonment or conditional discharge, is
required by law upon conviction.

(d)(Blank).

(e) "Protective order" means any order of protection issued under Section 112A-14 of this Code or  the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, a stalking no contact order issued under Section  80 of the Stalking No Contact Order Act, or a civil no contact order issued under Section 213 of the Civil No Contact Order Act.

(f) "Willful flight" means intentional conduct with a purpose to thwart the judicial process to avoid prosecution.  Isolated instances of nonappearance in court alone are not evidence of the risk of willful flight. Reoccurrence and patterns of intentional conduct to evade prosecution, along with any affirmative steps to communicate or remedy any such missed court date, may be considered as factors in assessing future intent to evade prosecution.
