Bill Title: Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that a person who does not pose a real and present threat to the physical safety of any person, presents a flight risk in the absence of a bail bond, and is otherwise eligible for bail shall not be detained solely because of their financial or economic inability to post bond. Provides that if bail is set or if a defendant is ordered to be electronically monitored as a condition of release, and if the defendant has been unable to post the required bond or secure a location from which to be electronically monitored and remains in custody for 72 hours after the date bail or release with conditions has been set, the defendant shall be afforded a hearing where the court may alter the conditions of bail or release. Provides that the inability of the defendant to pay bail or lack of suitable housing shall be deemed sufficient new facts to support a motion for this hearing.
