(725 ILCS 185/20) (from Ch. 38, par. 320)
Sec. 20.
In preparing and presenting its written reports under
Sections 17 and 19, pretrial services agencies shall in
appropriate cases
include specific recommendations for setting the conditions of
pretrial release; the release of the interviewee on his own recognizance in sums
certain; and the imposition of conditions of pretrial release or recognizance
designed to minimize the risks of nonappearance, the commission of new
offenses while awaiting trial, and other potential interference with the
orderly administration of justice. In establishing objective internal
criteria of any such recommendation policies, the agency may utilize
so-called "point scales" for evaluating the aforementioned risks,
but no interviewee shall be considered as ineligible for particular agency
recommendations by sole reference to such procedures.
