| (1) distinguishable from the surrounding text; (2) in bold type | 2 |
| or
underscored; and (3) in a type size at least 2 points larger | 3 |
| than the
surrounding type. When a person for whom
bail has been | 4 |
| set is charged with an offense under the Illinois Controlled
| 5 |
| Substances Act or the Methamphetamine Control and Community | 6 |
| Protection Act which is a Class X felony, the court may require | 7 |
| the
defendant to deposit a sum equal to 100% of the bail.
Where | 8 |
| any person is charged with a forcible felony while free on bail | 9 |
| and
is the subject of proceedings under Section 109-3 of this | 10 |
| Code the judge
conducting the preliminary examination may also | 11 |
| conduct a hearing upon the
application of the State pursuant to | 12 |
| the provisions of Section 110-6 of this
Code to increase or | 13 |
| revoke the bail for that person's prior alleged offense.
| 14 |
| (b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized by | 15 |
| law, the person
shall be released
from custody subject to the | 16 |
| conditions of the bail bond.
| 17 |
| (c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or
is | 18 |
| thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent
| 19 |
| jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail
| 20 |
| in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of | 21 |
| this Code.
| 22 |
| (d) After conviction the court may order that the original
| 23 |
| bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce | 24 |
| bail
subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
| 25 |
| (e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing
| 26 |
| or denying bail pending appeal either party may apply to the

| reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof
| 2 |
| sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the
| 3 |
| amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal | 4 |
| subject to the
provisions of Section 110-6.2.
| 5 |
| (f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been | 6 |
| performed
and the accused has been discharged from all | 7 |
| obligations in the
cause the clerk of the court shall return to | 8 |
| the accused or to the
defendant's designee by an assignment | 9 |
| executed at the time the bail amount
is deposited, unless
the | 10 |
| court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been
deposited | 11 |
| and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount
| 12 |
| deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by | 13 |
| the
clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Bail bond | 14 |
| deposited by or on
behalf of a defendant in one case may be | 15 |
| used, in the court's discretion,
to satisfy financial | 16 |
| obligations of that same defendant incurred in a
different case | 17 |
| due to a fine, court costs,
restitution or fees of the | 18 |
| defendant's attorney of record. In counties with
a population | 19 |
| of 3,000,000 or more, the court shall
not order bail bond | 20 |
| deposited by or on behalf of a defendant in one case to
be used | 21 |
| to satisfy financial obligations of that same defendant in a
| 22 |
| different case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy | 23 |
| court costs and
attorney's fees in
the case in which the bail | 24 |
| bond has been deposited and any other unpaid child
support | 25 |
| obligations are satisfied. In counties with a population of | 26 |
| less than 3,000,000, the court shall
not order bail bond |

| deposited by or on behalf of a defendant in one case to
be used | 2 |
| to satisfy financial obligations of that same defendant in a
| 3 |
| different case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy | 4 |
| court costs
in
the case in which the bail bond has been | 5 |
| deposited.
| 6 |
| At the request of the defendant the court may order such | 7 |
| 90% of
defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is | 8 |
| repayable to defendant
from such deposit, to be paid to | 9 |
| defendant's attorney of record.
| 10 |
| (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
| 11 |
| the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
| 12 |
| order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
| 13 |
| of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
| 14 |
| last known address. If the accused does not appear and | 15 |
| surrender
to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from | 16 |
| the date of
the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the | 17 |
| court
that appearance and surrender by the accused is | 18 |
| impossible
and without his fault the court shall enter judgment | 19 |
| for the State if the
charge for which the bond was given was a | 20 |
| felony
or misdemeanor, or if the charge was quasi-criminal or | 21 |
| traffic,
judgment for the political subdivision of the State | 22 |
| which
prosecuted the case, against the accused for the amount | 23 |
| of
the bail and costs of the court proceedings; however,
in | 24 |
| counties with a population of less than 3,000,000, instead of | 25 |
| the court
entering a judgment for the full amount
of the bond | 26 |
| the court may, in its discretion, enter judgment for the cash

| deposit on the bond, less costs, retain the deposit for further | 2 |
| disposition or,
if a cash bond was posted for failure to appear | 3 |
| in a matter involving
enforcement of child support or | 4 |
| maintenance, the amount of the cash deposit on
the bond, less | 5 |
| outstanding costs, may be awarded to the person or entity to
| 6 |
| whom the child support or maintenance is due. The deposit
made | 7 |
| in accordance with paragraph (a) shall be applied to
the | 8 |
| payment of costs. If judgment is entered and any amount of such
| 9 |
| deposit remains
after the payment of costs it shall be applied | 10 |
| to payment of
the judgment and transferred to the treasury of | 11 |
| the municipal
corporation wherein the bond was taken if the | 12 |
| offense was a
violation of any penal ordinance of a political | 13 |
| subdivision
of this State, or to the treasury of the county | 14 |
| wherein the
bond was taken if the offense was a violation of | 15 |
| any penal
statute of this State. The balance of the judgment | 16 |
| may be
enforced and collected in the same manner as a judgment | 17 |
| entered
in a civil action.
| 18 |
| (h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either | 19 |
| is
entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had
| 20 |
| been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such
| 21 |
| deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied
| 22 |
| to the payment of the judgment.
