    AN ACT concerning criminal law.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
amended by adding Section 110-5.2 as follows:
 
    (725 ILCS 5/110-5.2 new)
    Sec. 110-5.2. Bail; pregnant pre-trial detainee.
    (a) It is the policy of this State that a pre-trial
detainee shall not be required to deliver a child while in
custody absent a finding by the court that continued pre-trial
custody is necessary to protect the public or the victim of the
offense on which the charge is based.
    (b) If the court reasonably believes that a pre-trial
detainee will give birth while in custody, the court shall
order an alternative to custody unless, after a hearing, the
court determines:
        (1) that the release of the pregnant pre-trial detainee
    would pose a real and present threat to the physical safety
    of the alleged victim of the offense and continuing custody
    is necessary to prevent the fulfillment of the threat upon
    which the charge is based; or
        (2) that the release of the pregnant pre-trial detainee
    would pose a real and present threat to the physical safety
    of any person or persons or the general public.
    (c) The court may order a pregnant or post-partum detainee
to be subject to electronic monitoring as a condition of
pre-trial release or order other condition or combination of
conditions the court reasonably determines are in the best
interest of the detainee and the public.
     (d) This Section shall be applicable to a pregnant
pre-trial detainee in custody on or after the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
