House Sponsors: MENDOZA-TURNER,ART. Short description: CRIM PRO-BAIL DEPOSIT Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that when the conditions of the bail bond have been performed and the accused has been discharged from all obligations, the court shall order the return of 80% (rather than 90%) of the bail amount and shall retain 20% (rather than 10%) of the amount deposited as bail bond costs. Provides that the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy the financial obligations of that same defendant in a different case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy any unpaid child support obligations. FISCAL NOTE (Office of Illinois Courts) HB 5714 would substantially increase the amount of money retained for bond cost, which would increase revenues for county government. The fiscal impact of HB 5714 will vary by county. JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of Illinois Courts) HB 5714 would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.
