Introduced 11/14/2022, by Sen. Scott M. Bennett - Patrick J. Joyce - Doris Turner - Kris Tharp - Suzy Glowiak Hilton, et al.

 

SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
 
See Index

    Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 concerning pretrial detention. In the definition of "willful flight", provides that past non-appearance in court is conclusive evidence of future intent to evade prosecution (rather than simple past non-appearance in court alone is not evidence of future intent to evade prosecution). Provides that monetary bail is abolished for all petty, traffic, and criminal offenses committed on or after January 1, 2023. Provides that the court may deny a defendant pretrial release if the defendant is charged with a forcible felony offense for which a sentence of imprisonment, based on the charge or the defendant's criminal history, without probation, periodic imprisonment, or conditional discharge, is required by law upon conviction. Eliminates the requirement for pretrial detention that it be alleged that the defendant's pretrial release poses a specific, real and present threat to any person or the community. Provides that in addition to other provisions permitting the court to deny a defendant pretrial release, the court may deny a defendant pretrial release if the defendant is charged with any other crime for which the court believes there is a serious risk that: (1) the defendant will not appear in court as required; (2) the defendant will pose a danger to any other person or the community; or (3) the defendant will obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice, or threaten, injure, or intimidate, or attempt to threaten, injure, or intimidate a prospective witness or juror. Provides that if the court enters an order for the detention of the defendant, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he is detained within 120 (rather than 90) days after entry of the order of detention. Makes other changes concerning pretrial release of a defendant. Effective January 1, 2023.

SB4228- 12 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1that they are necessary to assure the defendant's appearance
2in court, to protect any person or the community, assure the
3defendant does not commit any criminal offense, assure that
4the defendant will not obstruct or attempt to obstruct
5justice, or threaten, injure, intimidate, or attempt to
6threaten, injure, or intimidate a prospective witness or
7juror, and complies with all conditions of pretrial release.
8    (c) The Detention only shall be imposed when it is
9determined that the defendant poses a specific, real and
10present threat to a person, or has a high likelihood of willful
11flight. If the court deems that the defendant is to be released
12on personal recognizance, the court may require that a written
13admonishment be signed by the defendant requiring that he or
14she must comply with the provisions of Section 110-12 of this
15Code regarding any change in his or her address. The defendant
16may be released on his or her own recognizance upon signature.
17The defendant's address shall at all times remain a matter of
18public record with the clerk of the court. A failure to appear
19as required by such recognizance shall constitute an offense

22pretrial release.
23    (d) If, after the procedures set out in Section 110-6.1,

SB4228- 13 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1defendant will pose a danger to any other person or the
2community; the defendant will obstruct or attempt to obstruct
3justice, or threaten, injure, or intimidate, or attempt to
4threaten, injure, or intimidate a prospective juror or witness
5less restrictive conditions would not assure safety to the
6community and assure the defendant's appearance in court. At
7each subsequent appearance of the defendant before the Court,
8the judge must find that continued detention or the current
9set of conditions imposed are necessary to assure the
10defendant will appear in court as required; the defendant will
11pose a danger to any other person or the community, the
12defendant will obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice, or
13threaten, injure, or intimidate, or attempt to threaten,
14injure, or intimidate a prospective juror or witness to avoid
15the specific, real and present threat to any person or of
16willful flight from prosecution to continue detention of the
17defendant. The court is not required to be presented with new
18information or a change in circumstance to consider
19reconsidering pretrial detention on current conditions.
20    (e) This Section shall be liberally construed to
21effectuate the purpose of relying upon pretrial release by
22nonmonetary means to reasonably assure an eligible defendant's
23appearance in court when required, the protection of the
24safety of any other person or the community, that the
25defendant will not obstruct or attempt to obstruct the
26criminal justice process, and that the defendant will comply

 

 

SB4228- 14 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1with all conditions of release, while authorizing the court,
2upon motion of a prosecutor, to order pretrial detention of
3the defendant when it finds clear and convincing evidence that
4no condition or combination of conditions can reasonably
5assure the effectuation of these goals This Section shall be
6liberally construed to effectuate the purpose of relying upon
7contempt of court proceedings or criminal sanctions instead of
8financial loss to assure the appearance of the defendant, and
9that the defendant will not pose a danger to any person or the
10community and that the defendant will not pose a danger to any
11person or the community and that the defendant will comply
12with all conditions of pretrial release.

11warrant alternatives.
12    (a) Upon failure to comply with any condition of pretrial
13release or recognizance, the court having jurisdiction at the
14time of such failure may, on its own motion or upon motion from
15the State, issue an order to show cause as to why he or she
16shall not be subject to revocation of pretrial release, or for
17sanctions, as provided in Section 110-6 or issue a warrant for
18the defendant. Nothing in this Section prohibits the court
19from issuing a warrant under subsection (c) upon failure to
20comply with any condition of pretrial release or recognizance.
21    (b) The order issued by the court shall state the facts
22alleged to constitute the hearing to show cause or otherwise
23why the person is subject to revocation of pretrial release. A

1    (c) If the person does not appear at the hearing to show
2cause or absconds, the court may, in addition to any other
3action provided by law, issue a warrant for the arrest of the
4person at liberty on pretrial release. The contents of such a
5warrant shall be the same as required for an arrest warrant
6issued upon complaint and may modify any previously imposed
7conditions placed upon the person, rather than revoking
8pretrial release or issuing a warrant for the person in
9accordance with the requirements in subsections (d) and (e) of
10Section 110-5. When a defendant is at liberty on pretrial
11release or his own recognizance on a felony charge and fails to
12appear in court as directed, the court may issue a warrant for
13the arrest of such person after his or her failure to appear at
14the show for cause hearing as provided in this Section. Such
15warrant shall be noted with a directive to peace officers to
16arrest the person and hold such person without pretrial
17release and to deliver such person before the court for
18further proceedings.
19    (d) If the order as described in subsection (b) is issued,
20a failure to appear shall not be recorded until the defendant
21fails to appear at the hearing to show cause. For the purpose
22of any risk assessment or future evaluation of risk of willful
23flight or risk of failure to appear, a non-appearance in court
24cured by an appearance at the hearing to show cause shall not
25be considered as evidence of future likelihood of appearance
26in court.

4    (e) If a person remains in pretrial detention after his or
5her pretrial conditions hearing after having been ordered
6released with pretrial conditions, the court shall hold a
7hearing to determine the reason for continued detention. If
8the reason for continued detention is due to the
9unavailability or the defendant's ineligibility for one or
10more pretrial conditions previously ordered by the court or
11directed by a pretrial services agency, the court shall reopen
12the conditions of release hearing to determine what available
13pretrial conditions exist that will reasonably assure the
14appearance of a defendant as required or the safety of any
15other person and the likelihood of compliance by the defendant
16with all the conditions of pretrial release. The inability of
17the defendant to pay for a condition of release or any other
18ineligibility for a condition of pretrial release shall not be
19used as a justification for the pretrial detention of that
20defendant.
21    (f) Prior to the defendant's first appearance, the Court

20person or persons from imminent threat of serious physical
21harm. If the court finds that there are less restrictive
22conditions of release, the court shall order that the
23condition be removed. This subsection takes effect January 1,

11defendant or on its own motion the court before which the
12proceeding is pending may increase or reduce the amount of
13bail or may alter the conditions of the bail bond or grant bail
14where it has been previously revoked or denied. If bail has

5is earlier, for a rehearing on the amount or conditions of bail
6or release pending further court proceedings. The court may

8inability to post monetary bail is the sole reason for
9continued incarceration, including a person in custody for a
10Category A offense or a Category A offense and a Category B
11offense. The court may deny the rehearing permitted under this
12subsection (a-5) if the person has failed to appear as
13required before the court and is incarcerated based on a
14warrant for failure to appear on the same original criminal
15offense.

10hearing on the matters set forth in the application. If the
11actual court before which the proceeding is pending is absent
12or otherwise unavailable another court may issue a warrant
13pursuant to this Section. When the defendant is charged with a
14felony offense and while free on bail is charged with a
15subsequent felony offense and is the subject of a proceeding
16set forth in Section 109-1 or 109-3 of this Code, upon the
17filing of a verified petition by the State alleging a
18violation of Section 110-10 (a) (4) of this Code, the court

4    defendant. Where defendant occasions the delay, the
5    running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and
6    resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
7    defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days
8    remaining in the 10 day period, the court may grant a
9    period of up to 5 additional days to the State for good
10    cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the right to
11    proceed to hearing on the alleged violation at any time,
12    upon reasonable notice to the defendant and the court.

17    to present witnesses in his behalf, and to cross-examine
18    witnesses if any are called by the State, and
19    representation by counsel and if the defendant is indigent
20    to have counsel appointed for him. The rules of evidence
21    applicable in criminal trials in this State shall not

7    result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
8    improper interrogation is not relevant to this hearing.
9        (3) Upon a finding by the court that the State has
10    established by clear and convincing evidence that the
11    defendant has committed a forcible felony or a Class 2 or
12    greater offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances
13    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
14    Control and Community Protection Act while admitted to
15    bail, or where the defendant is on bail for a felony

10    bail within 90 days after the date on which his bail was
11    revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within
12    the 90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he
13    shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the 90
14    day period, the court shall omit any period of delay
15    resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the
16    defendant.
17        (5) If the defendant either is arrested on a warrant
18    issued pursuant to this Code or is arrested for an
19    unrelated offense and it is subsequently discovered that
20    the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants
21    issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be
22    transferred promptly to the court which issued such
23    warrant. If, however, the defendant appears initially
24    before a court other than the court which issued such
25    warrant, the non-issuing court shall not alter the amount
26    of bail set on such warrant unless the court sets forth on

7increased or reduced the amount of bail or altered the
8conditions of the bail bond or granted bail where it has
9previously been revoked.

12        is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the
13        witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance
14        of a complaining witness, the court shall be
15        considerate of the emotional and physical well-being
16        of the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not
17        to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
18        arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
19        shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
20        copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if
21        available, and any written or recorded statements and
22        the substance of any oral statements made by any
23        person, if relied upon by the State in its petition.
24        The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in
25        criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
26        consideration of information at the hearing. At the

2        conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
3        transcript or other record of the hearing shall be
4        admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
5        admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section
6        115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
7            (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence
8        or to suppress a confession shall not be entertained.
9        Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the
10        result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
11        improper interrogation is not relevant to this state
12        of the prosecution.
13        (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
14    finding that the defendant poses a real and present threat
15    to the physical safety of any person or persons shall be
16    supported by clear and convincing evidence presented by
17    the State.
18    (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
19dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
20defendant poses a real and present threat to the physical
21safety of any person or persons, consider but shall not be
22limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
23        (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
24    charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
25    violence, involving a weapon.

13    safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
14    nature of the threat;

16    defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
17    them;
18        (5) The age and physical condition of any person
19    assaulted by the defendant;
20        (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
21    access to any weapon or weapons;

20    required for appearances in connection with court
21    proceedings.
22    (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the
23defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, the
24defendant shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he
25is detained within 90 days after the date on which the order
26for detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to

 

 

SB4228- 56 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1trial within the 90 day period required by the preceding
2sentence, he shall not be held longer without bail. In
3computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit any period of
4delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of
5the defendant.
6    (g) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled
7to appeal any order entered under this Section denying bail to
8the defendant.
9    (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this
10Section denying any motion for denial of bail.
11    (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
12modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption
13of innocence in further criminal proceedings.

19    (d) Contents of petition.
20        (1) The petition shall be verified by the State and
21    shall state the grounds upon which it contends the
22    defendant should be denied pretrial release, including
23    that no combination of conditions would assure the
24    defendant's appearance in court when required, the
25    protection of the safety of any other person or the
26    community, or that the defendant will obstruct or attempt

 

 

SB4228- 62 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

7amount of conditions or combination of conditions will
8reasonably assure the defendant's appearance in court when
9required, the protection of the safety of any other person or
10the community, or that the defendant will not obstruct or
11attempt to obstruct the criminal justice process shall be by
12clear and convincing evidence, except that when a motion for
13pretrial detention is filed pursuant this Section, if the
14court finds probable cause that the defendant committed any
15crime for which the defendant may be sentenced to life
16imprisonment, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the

18conditions or combination of conditions would reasonably
19assure the defendant's appearance in court when required, the
20protection of the safety of any other person or the community,
21and that the eligible defendant will not obstruct or attempt
22to obstruct the criminal justice process. A court shall hold a
23hearing to determine whether any amount of conditions or

8defendant, the prosecutor, or from other materials submitted
9to the court. The standard of proof for a rebuttal of the
10presumption of pretrial detention shall be a preponderance of
11the evidence. If proof cannot be established to rebut the
12presumption, the court may order the defendant's pretrial
13detention. If the presumption is rebutted by sufficient proof,
14the prosecutor shall have the opportunity to establish that
15the grounds for pretrial detention exist pursuant to this
16Section. : All defendants shall be presumed eligible for
17pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
18proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
19        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
20    the defendant has committed an offense listed in
21    paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a), and
22        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
23    the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons,
24    by conduct which may include, but is not limited to, a
25    forcible felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation,
26    injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1) of Section

 

 

SB4228- 64 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1    103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, and
2        (3) no condition or combination of conditions set
3    forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
4    can mitigate the real and present threat to the safety of
5    any person or persons or the defendant's willful flight.
6    (f) Conduct of the hearings.
7        (1) Prior to the hearing the State shall tender to the
8    defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
9    available, any written or recorded statements, and the
10    substance of any oral statements made by any person in the
11    State's Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing,
12    if relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
13    reports in the State's Attorney's possession at the time
14    of the hearing that are required to be disclosed to the
15    defense under Illinois Supreme Court rules.
16        (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
17    hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
18        (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
19    counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
20    appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
21    opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
22    own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
23    called by the State.
24        (4) If the defense seeks to call the complaining
25    witness as a witness in its favor, it shall petition the
26    court for permission. When the ends of justice so require,

 

 

SB4228- 65 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1    the court may exercise its discretion and compel the
2    appearance of a complaining witness only on the issue of
3    the defendant's pretrial detention. The court shall state
4    on the record reasons for granting a defense request to
5    compel the presence of a complaining witness. In making a
6    determination under this Section section, the court shall
7    state on the record the reason for granting a defense
8    request to compel the presence of a complaining witness,
9    and only grant the request if the court finds by clear and
10    convincing evidence that the defendant will be materially
11    prejudiced if the complaining witness does not appear.
12    Cross-examination of a complaining witness at the pretrial
13    detention hearing for the purpose of impeaching the
14    witness' credibility is insufficient reason to compel the
15    presence of the witness. In deciding whether to compel the
16    appearance of a complaining witness, the court shall be
17    considerate of the emotional and physical well-being of
18    the witness. The pretrial pre-trial detention hearing is
19    not to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
20    arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
21    shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
22    copies, if any, of the defendant's criminal history, if
23    available, and any written or recorded statements and the
24    substance of any oral statements made by any person, if in
25    the State's Attorney's possession at the time of the
26    hearing.

 

 

SB4228- 66 -LRB102 28993 RLC 40966 b

1        (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
2    in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
3    consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
4    concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
5    neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
6    other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
7    State's case-in-chief case in chief, but shall be
8    admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section
9    115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
10        (6) (Blank). The defendant may not move to suppress
11    evidence or a confession, however, evidence that proof of
12    the charged crime may have been the result of an unlawful
13    search or seizure, or both, or through improper
14    interrogation, is relevant in assessing the weight of the
15    evidence against the defendant.
16        (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of release
17    and detention prior to trial should be individualized, and
18    no single factor or standard should be used exclusively to
19    make a condition or detention decision.
20    (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
21dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
22defendant poses a specific, imminent threat of serious
23physical harm to a an identifiable person or persons or the
24community, consider, but shall not be limited to, evidence or
25testimony concerning:
26        (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense

10        commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.

16    safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
17    nature of the threat. ;

11    (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
12detention:

14    guilt or innocence, and the court's reasons for concluding
