HB4482 - 6 - LRB103 36505 RLC 66611 b
(c) The court shall impose any conditions that are
mandatory under subsection (a) of Section 110-10. The court
may impose any conditions that are permissible under
subsection (b) of Section 110-10. The conditions of release
imposed shall be the least restrictive conditions or
combination of conditions necessary to reasonably ensure the
appearance of the defendant as required or the safety of any
other person or persons or the community.
(d) When a person is charged with a violation of a
protective order, the court may order the defendant placed
under electronic surveillance as a condition of pretrial
release, as provided in Section 5-8A-7 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, based on the information collected under
paragraph (6) of subsection (a) of this Section, the results
of any assessment conducted, or other circumstances of the
violation.
(e) If a person remains in pretrial detention 48 hours
after having been ordered released with pretrial conditions,
the court shall hold a hearing to determine the reason for
continued detention. If the reason for continued detention is
due to the unavailability or the defendant's ineligibility for
one or more pretrial conditions previously ordered by the
court or directed by a pretrial services agency, the court
shall reopen the conditions of release hearing to determine
what available pretrial conditions exist that will reasonably
ensure the appearance of a defendant as required, the safety

HB4482 - 7 - LRB103 36505 RLC 66611 b
of any other person, and the likelihood of compliance by the
defendant with all the conditions of pretrial release. The
inability of the defendant to pay for a condition of release or
any other ineligibility for a condition of pretrial release
shall not be used as a justification for the pretrial
detention of that defendant. The 48-hour time limit does not
apply if the person has been found to be in need of mental
health treatment or services upon release. The court shall
hold a hearing every 7 to 10 days of the person's pretrial
detention to be reevaluated every 7 to 10 days until adequate
mental health treatment or services may be obtained after the
defendant's release from pretrial detention.
(f) Prior to the defendant's first appearance, and with
sufficient time for meaningful attorney-client contact to
gather information in order to advocate effectively for the
defendant's pretrial release, the court shall appoint the
public defender or a licensed attorney at law of this State to
represent the defendant for purposes of that hearing, unless
the defendant has obtained licensed counsel. Defense counsel
shall have access to the same documentary information relied
upon by the prosecution and presented to the court.
(f-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant
before the court, the judge must find that the current
conditions imposed are necessary to reasonably ensure the
appearance of the defendant as required, the safety of any
other person, and the compliance of the defendant with all the

HB4482 - 8 - LRB103 36505 RLC 66611 b
conditions of pretrial release. The court is not required to
be presented with new information or a change in circumstance
to remove pretrial conditions.
(g) Electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home
confinement can only be imposed as a condition of pretrial
release if a no less restrictive condition of release or
combination of less restrictive condition of release would
reasonably ensure the appearance of the defendant for later
hearings or protect an identifiable person or persons from
imminent threat of serious physical harm.
(h) If the court imposes electronic monitoring, GPS
monitoring, or home confinement, the court shall set forth in
the record the basis for its finding. A defendant shall be
given custodial credit for each day he or she was subjected to
home confinement, at the same rate described in subsection (b)
of Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The
court may give custodial credit to a defendant for each day the
defendant was subjected to GPS monitoring without home
confinement or electronic monitoring without home confinement.
(i) If electronic monitoring, GPS monitoring, or home
confinement is imposed, the court shall determine every 60
days if no less restrictive condition of release or
combination of less restrictive conditions of release would
reasonably ensure the appearance, or continued appearance, of
the defendant for later hearings or protect an identifiable
person or persons from imminent threat of serious physical
