Section 40. The Illinois Public Labor Relations Act is
amended by changing Section 14 as follows:

HB4697 - 7 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(5 ILCS 315/14) (from Ch. 48, par. 1614)
Sec. 14. Security employee, peace officer and fire fighter
disputes.
(a) In the case of collective bargaining agreements
involving units of security employees of a public employer,
Peace Officer Units, or units of fire fighters or paramedics,
and in the case of disputes under Section 18, unless the
parties mutually agree to some other time limit, mediation
shall commence 30 days prior to the expiration date of such
agreement or at such later time as the mediation services
chosen under subsection (b) of Section 12 can be provided to
the parties. In the case of negotiations for an initial
collective bargaining agreement, mediation shall commence upon
15 days notice from either party or at such later time as the
mediation services chosen pursuant to subsection (b) of
Section 12 can be provided to the parties. In mediation under
this Section, if either party requests the use of mediation
services from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service,
the other party shall either join in such request or bear the
additional cost of mediation services from another source. The
mediator shall have a duty to keep the Board informed on the
progress of the mediation. If any dispute has not been
resolved within 15 days after the first meeting of the parties
and the mediator, or within such other time limit as may be
mutually agreed upon by the parties, either the exclusive
representative or employer may request of the other, in

HB4697 - 8 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
writing, arbitration, and shall submit a copy of the request
to the Board.
(b) Within 10 days after such a request for arbitration
has been made, the employer shall choose a delegate and the
employees' exclusive representative shall choose a delegate to
a panel of arbitration as provided in this Section. The
employer and employees shall forthwith advise the other and
the Board of their selections.
(c) Within 7 days after the request of either party, the
parties shall request a panel of impartial arbitrators from
which they shall select the neutral chairman according to the
procedures provided in this Section. If the parties have
agreed to a contract that contains a grievance resolution
procedure as provided in Section 8, the chairman shall be
selected using their agreed contract procedure unless they
mutually agree to another procedure. If the parties fail to
notify the Board of their selection of neutral chairman within
7 days after receipt of the list of impartial arbitrators, the
Board shall appoint, at random, a neutral chairman from the
list. In the absence of an agreed contract procedure for
selecting an impartial arbitrator, either party may request a
panel from the Board. Within 7 days of the request of either
party, the Board shall select from the Public Employees Labor
Mediation Roster 7 persons who are on the labor arbitration
panels of either the American Arbitration Association or the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, or who are members

HB4697 - 9 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
of the National Academy of Arbitrators, as nominees for
impartial arbitrator of the arbitration panel. The parties may
select an individual on the list provided by the Board or any
other individual mutually agreed upon by the parties. Within 7
days following the receipt of the list, the parties shall
notify the Board of the person they have selected. Unless the
parties agree on an alternate selection procedure, they shall
alternatively strike one name from the list provided by the
Board until only one name remains. A coin toss shall determine
which party shall strike the first name. If the parties fail to
notify the Board in a timely manner of their selection for
neutral chairman, the Board shall appoint a neutral chairman
from the Illinois Public Employees Mediation/Arbitration
Roster.
(d) The chairman shall call a hearing to begin within 15
days and give reasonable notice of the time and place of the
hearing. The hearing shall be held at the offices of the Board
or at such other location as the Board deems appropriate. The
chairman shall preside over the hearing and shall take
testimony. Any oral or documentary evidence and other data
deemed relevant by the arbitration panel may be received in
evidence. The proceedings shall be informal. Technical rules
of evidence shall not apply and the competency of the evidence
shall not thereby be deemed impaired. A verbatim record of the
proceedings shall be made and the arbitrator shall arrange for
the necessary recording service. Transcripts may be ordered at

HB4697 - 10 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the expense of the party ordering them, but the transcripts
shall not be necessary for a decision by the arbitration
panel. The expense of the proceedings, including a fee for the
chairman, shall be borne equally by each of the parties to the
dispute. The delegates, if public officers or employees, shall
continue on the payroll of the public employer without loss of
pay. The hearing conducted by the arbitration panel may be
adjourned from time to time, but unless otherwise agreed by
the parties, shall be concluded within 30 days of the time of
its commencement. Majority actions and rulings shall
constitute the actions and rulings of the arbitration panel.
Arbitration proceedings under this Section shall not be
interrupted or terminated by reason of any unfair labor
practice charge filed by either party at any time.
(e) The arbitration panel may administer oaths, require
the attendance of witnesses, and the production of such books,
papers, contracts, agreements and documents as may be deemed
by it material to a just determination of the issues in
dispute, and for such purpose may issue subpoenas. If any
person refuses to obey a subpoena, or refuses to be sworn or to
testify, or if any witness, party or attorney is guilty of any
contempt while in attendance at any hearing, the arbitration
panel may, or the attorney general if requested shall, invoke
the aid of any circuit court within the jurisdiction in which
the hearing is being held, which court shall issue an
appropriate order. Any failure to obey the order may be

HB4697 - 11 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
punished by the court as contempt.
(f) At any time before the rendering of an award, the
chairman of the arbitration panel, if he is of the opinion that
it would be useful or beneficial to do so, may remand the
dispute to the parties for further collective bargaining for a
period not to exceed 2 weeks. If the dispute is remanded for
further collective bargaining the time provisions of this Act
shall be extended for a time period equal to that of the
remand. The chairman of the panel of arbitration shall notify
the Board of the remand.
(g) At or before the conclusion of the hearing held
pursuant to subsection (d), the arbitration panel shall
identify the economic issues in dispute, and direct each of
the parties to submit, within such time limit as the panel
shall prescribe, to the arbitration panel and to each other
its last offer of settlement on each economic issue. The
determination of the arbitration panel as to the issues in
dispute and as to which of these issues are economic shall be
conclusive. The arbitration panel, within 30 days after the
conclusion of the hearing, or such further additional periods
to which the parties may agree, shall make written findings of
fact and promulgate a written opinion and shall mail or
otherwise deliver a true copy thereof to the parties and their
representatives and to the Board. As to each economic issue,
the arbitration panel shall adopt the last offer of settlement
which, in the opinion of the arbitration panel, more nearly

HB4697 - 12 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
complies with the applicable factors prescribed in subsection
(h). The findings, opinions and order as to all other issues
shall be based upon the applicable factors prescribed in
subsection (h).
(h) Where there is no agreement between the parties, or
where there is an agreement but the parties have begun
negotiations or discussions looking to a new agreement or
amendment of the existing agreement, and wage rates or other
conditions of employment under the proposed new or amended
agreement are in dispute, the arbitration panel shall base its
findings, opinions and order upon the following factors, as
applicable:
(1) The lawful authority of the employer.
(2) Stipulations of the parties.
(3) The interests and welfare of the public and the
financial ability of the unit of government to meet those
costs.
(4) Comparison of the wages, hours and conditions of
employment of the employees involved in the arbitration
proceeding with the wages, hours and conditions of
employment of other employees performing similar services
and with other employees generally:
(A) In public employment in comparable
communities.
(B) In private employment in comparable
communities.

HB4697 - 13 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(5) The average consumer prices for goods and
services, commonly known as the cost of living.
(6) The overall compensation presently received by the
employees, including direct wage compensation, vacations,
holidays and other excused time, insurance and pensions,
medical and hospitalization benefits, the continuity and
stability of employment and all other benefits received.
(7) Changes in any of the foregoing circumstances
during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings.
(8) Such other factors, not confined to the foregoing,
which are normally or traditionally taken into
consideration in the determination of wages, hours and
conditions of employment through voluntary collective
bargaining, mediation, fact-finding, arbitration or
otherwise between the parties, in the public service or in
private employment.
(i) In the case of peace officers, the arbitration
decision shall be limited to wages, hours, and conditions of
employment (which may include residency requirements in
municipalities with a population under 1,000,000, 100,000, but
those residency requirements shall not allow residency outside
of Illinois) and shall not include the following: i) residency
requirements in municipalities with a population of at least
1,000,000 100,000; ii) the type of equipment, other than
uniforms, issued or used; iii) manning; iv) the total number
of employees employed by the department; v) mutual aid and

HB4697 - 14 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
assistance agreements to other units of government; and vi)
the criterion pursuant to which force, including deadly force,
can be used; provided, nothing herein shall preclude an
arbitration decision regarding equipment or manning levels if
such decision is based on a finding that the equipment or
manning considerations in a specific work assignment involve a
serious risk to the safety of a peace officer beyond that which
is inherent in the normal performance of police duties.
Limitation of the terms of the arbitration decision pursuant
to this subsection shall not be construed to limit the factors
upon which the decision may be based, as set forth in
subsection (h).
In the case of fire fighter, and fire department or fire
district paramedic matters, the arbitration decision shall be
limited to wages, hours, and conditions of employment
(including manning and also including residency requirements
in municipalities with a population under 1,000,000, but those
residency requirements shall not allow residency outside of
Illinois) and shall not include the following matters: i)
residency requirements in municipalities with a population of
at least 1,000,000; ii) the type of equipment (other than
uniforms and fire fighter turnout gear) issued or used; iii)
the total number of employees employed by the department; iv)
mutual aid and assistance agreements to other units of
government; and v) the criterion pursuant to which force,
including deadly force, can be used; provided, however,

HB4697 - 15 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
nothing herein shall preclude an arbitration decision
regarding equipment levels if such decision is based on a
finding that the equipment considerations in a specific work
assignment involve a serious risk to the safety of a fire
fighter beyond that which is inherent in the normal
performance of fire fighter duties. Limitation of the terms of
the arbitration decision pursuant to this subsection shall not
be construed to limit the facts upon which the decision may be
based, as set forth in subsection (h).
The changes to this subsection (i) made by Public Act
90-385 (relating to residency requirements) do not apply to
persons who are employed by a combined department that
performs both police and firefighting services; these persons
shall be governed by the provisions of this subsection (i)
relating to peace officers, as they existed before the
amendment by Public Act 90-385.
To preserve historical bargaining rights, this subsection
shall not apply to any provision of a fire fighter collective
bargaining agreement in effect and applicable on the effective
date of this Act; provided, however, nothing herein shall
preclude arbitration with respect to any such provision.
(j) Arbitration procedures shall be deemed to be initiated
by the filing of a letter requesting mediation as required
under subsection (a) of this Section. The commencement of a
new municipal fiscal year after the initiation of arbitration
procedures under this Act, but before the arbitration

HB4697 - 16 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
decision, or its enforcement, shall not be deemed to render a
dispute moot, or to otherwise impair the jurisdiction or
authority of the arbitration panel or its decision. Increases
in rates of compensation awarded by the arbitration panel may
be effective only at the start of the fiscal year next
commencing after the date of the arbitration award. If a new
fiscal year has commenced either since the initiation of
arbitration procedures under this Act or since any mutually
agreed extension of the statutorily required period of
mediation under this Act by the parties to the labor dispute
causing a delay in the initiation of arbitration, the
foregoing limitations shall be inapplicable, and such awarded
increases may be retroactive to the commencement of the fiscal
year, any other statute or charter provisions to the contrary,
notwithstanding. At any time the parties, by stipulation, may
amend or modify an award of arbitration.
(k) Orders of the arbitration panel shall be reviewable,
upon appropriate petition by either the public employer or the
exclusive bargaining representative, by the circuit court for
the county in which the dispute arose or in which a majority of
the affected employees reside, but only for reasons that the
arbitration panel was without or exceeded its statutory
authority; the order is arbitrary, or capricious; or the order
was procured by fraud, collusion or other similar and unlawful
means. Such petitions for review must be filed with the
appropriate circuit court within 90 days following the

HB4697 - 17 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
issuance of the arbitration order. The pendency of such
proceeding for review shall not automatically stay the order
of the arbitration panel. The party against whom the final
decision of any such court shall be adverse, if such court
finds such appeal or petition to be frivolous, shall pay
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the successful party
as determined by said court in its discretion. If said court's
decision affirms the award of money, such award, if
retroactive, shall bear interest at the rate of 12 percent per
annum from the effective retroactive date.
(l) During the pendency of proceedings before the
arbitration panel, existing wages, hours, and other conditions
of employment shall not be changed by action of either party
without the consent of the other but a party may so consent
without prejudice to his rights or position under this Act.
The proceedings are deemed to be pending before the
arbitration panel upon the initiation of arbitration
procedures under this Act.
(m) Security officers of public employers, and Peace
Officers, Fire Fighters and fire department and fire
protection district paramedics, covered by this Section may
not withhold services, nor may public employers lock out or
prevent such employees from performing services at any time.
(n) All of the terms decided upon by the arbitration panel
shall be included in an agreement to be submitted to the public
employer's governing body for ratification and adoption by

HB4697 - 18 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
law, ordinance or the equivalent appropriate means.
The governing body shall review each term decided by the
arbitration panel. If the governing body fails to reject one
or more terms of the arbitration panel's decision by a 3/5 vote
of those duly elected and qualified members of the governing
body, within 20 days of issuance, or in the case of
firefighters employed by a state university, at the next
regularly scheduled meeting of the governing body after
issuance, such term or terms shall become a part of the
collective bargaining agreement of the parties. If the
governing body affirmatively rejects one or more terms of the
arbitration panel's decision, it must provide reasons for such
rejection with respect to each term so rejected, within 20
days of such rejection and the parties shall return to the
arbitration panel for further proceedings and issuance of a
supplemental decision with respect to the rejected terms. Any
supplemental decision by an arbitration panel or other
decision maker agreed to by the parties shall be submitted to
the governing body for ratification and adoption in accordance
with the procedures and voting requirements set forth in this
Section. The voting requirements of this subsection shall
apply to all disputes submitted to arbitration pursuant to
this Section notwithstanding any contrary voting requirements
contained in any existing collective bargaining agreement
between the parties.
(o) If the governing body of the employer votes to reject

HB4697 - 19 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the panel's decision, the parties shall return to the panel
within 30 days from the issuance of the reasons for rejection
for further proceedings and issuance of a supplemental
decision. All reasonable costs of such supplemental proceeding
including the exclusive representative's reasonable attorney's
fees, as established by the Board, shall be paid by the
employer.
(p) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section the
employer and exclusive representative may agree to submit
unresolved disputes concerning wages, hours, terms and
conditions of employment to an alternative form of impasse
resolution.
The amendatory changes to this Section made by Public Act
101-652 take effect July 1, 2022.

Section 45. The Community-Law Enforcement and Other First
Responder Partnership for Deflection and Substance Use
Disorder Treatment Act is amended by changing Sections 1, 5,
10, 15, 20, 30, and 35 as follows:
(5 ILCS 820/1)
Sec. 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
Community-Law Enforcement Community Partnership for Deflection
and Substance Use Disorder Treatment Act.
(Source: P.A. 103-361, eff. 1-1-24.)

HB4697 - 20 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(5 ILCS 820/5)
Sec. 5. Purposes. The General Assembly hereby acknowledges
that opioid use disorders, overdoses, and deaths in Illinois
are persistent and growing concerns for Illinois communities.
These concerns compound existing challenges to adequately
address and manage substance use and mental health disorders.
Local government agencies, law enforcement officers, other
first responders, and co-responders have a unique opportunity
to facilitate connections to community-based services,
including case management, and mental and behavioral health
interventions that provide harm reduction or substance use
treatment and can help save and restore lives; help reduce
drug use, overdose incidence, criminal offending, and
recidivism; and help prevent arrest and conviction records
that destabilize health, families, and opportunities for
community citizenship and self-sufficiency. These efforts are
bolstered when pursued in partnership with licensed behavioral
health treatment providers and community members or
organizations. It is the intent of the General Assembly to
authorize law enforcement, other first responders, and local
government agencies to develop and implement collaborative
deflection programs in Illinois that offer immediate pathways
to substance use treatment and other services as an
alternative to traditional case processing and involvement in
the criminal justice system, and to unnecessary admission to

HB4697 - 21 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
emergency departments.
(Source: P.A. 103-361, eff. 1-1-24.)
(5 ILCS 820/10)
Sec. 10. Definitions. In this Act:
"Case management" means those services which use
evidence-based practices, including harm reduction and
motivational interviewing, to assist persons in gaining access
to needed social, educational, medical, substance use and
mental health treatment, and other services.
"Community member or organization" means an individual
volunteer, resident, public office, or a not-for-profit
organization, religious institution, charitable organization,
or other public body committed to the improvement of
individual and family mental and physical well-being and the
overall social welfare of the community, and may include
persons with lived experience in recovery from substance use
disorder, either themselves or as family members.
"Other first responder" means and includes emergency
medical services providers that are public units of
government, fire departments and districts, and officials and
responders representing and employed by these entities.
"Deflection program" means a program in which a peace
officer or member of a law enforcement agency, other first
responder, or local government agency facilitates contact
between an individual and a licensed substance use treatment

HB4697 - 22 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
provider, clinician, or case management agency for assessment
and coordination of treatment planning, including co-responder
approaches that incorporate behavioral health, peer, or social
work professionals with law enforcement or other first
responders at the scene. This facilitation includes defined
criteria for eligibility and communication protocols agreed to
by the law enforcement agency or other first responder entity
and the licensed treatment provider or case management agency
for the purpose of providing substance use treatment or care
collaboration to those persons in lieu of arrest or further
justice system involvement, or unnecessary admissions to the
emergency department. Deflection programs may include, but are
not limited to, the following types of responses:
(1) a post-overdose deflection response initiated by a
peace officer or law enforcement agency subsequent to
emergency administration of medication to reverse an
overdose, or in cases of severe substance use disorder
with acute risk for overdose;
(2) a self-referral deflection response initiated by
an individual by contacting a peace officer, law
enforcement agency, other first responder, or local
government agency in the acknowledgment of their substance
use or disorder;
(3) an active outreach deflection response initiated
by a peace officer, law enforcement agency, other first
responder, or local government agency as a result of

HB4697 - 23 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
proactive identification of persons thought likely to have
a substance use disorder or untreated or undiagnosed
mental illness;
(4) an officer, other first responder, or local
government agency prevention deflection response initiated
by a peace officer, law enforcement agency, or local

incentivize participation and meet participant needs.
Eligible items include, but are not limited to, clothing,
transportation, application fees, emergency shelter,
utilities, toiletries, medical supplies, haircuts, and

(50 ILCS 706/10-20)
Sec. 10-20. Requirements.
(a) The Board shall develop basic guidelines for the use
of officer-worn body cameras by law enforcement agencies. The
guidelines developed by the Board shall be the basis for the
written policy which must be adopted by each law enforcement
agency which employs the use of officer-worn body cameras. The
written policy adopted by the law enforcement agency must
include, at a minimum, all of the following:
(1) Cameras must be equipped with pre-event recording,
capable of recording at least the 30 seconds prior to
camera activation, unless the officer-worn body camera was
purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency prior
to July 1, 2015.
(2) Cameras must be capable of recording for a period
of 10 hours or more, unless the officer-worn body camera
was purchased and acquired by the law enforcement agency
prior to July 1, 2015.

HB4697 - 49 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(3) Cameras must be turned on at all times when the
officer is in uniform and is responding to calls for
service or engaged in any law enforcement-related
encounter or activity, that occurs while the officer is on
duty.
(A) If exigent circumstances exist which prevent
the camera from being turned on, the camera must be
turned on as soon as practicable.
(B) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off
when the officer is inside of a patrol car which is
equipped with a functioning in-car camera; however,
the officer must turn on the camera upon exiting the
patrol vehicle for law enforcement-related encounters.
(C) Officer-worn body cameras may be turned off
when the officer is inside a correctional facility or
courthouse which is equipped with a functioning camera
system.
(4) Cameras must be turned off when:
(A) the victim of a crime requests that the camera
be turned off, and unless impractical or impossible,
that request is made on the recording;
(B) a witness of a crime or a community member who
wishes to report a crime requests that the camera be
turned off, and unless impractical or impossible that
request is made on the recording;
(C) the officer is interacting with a confidential

HB4697 - 50 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
informant used by the law enforcement agency; or
(D) an officer of the Department of Revenue enters
a Department of Revenue facility or conducts an
interview during which return information will be
discussed or visible.
However, an officer may continue to record or resume
recording a victim or a witness, if exigent circumstances
exist, or if the officer has reasonable articulable
suspicion that a victim or witness, or confidential
informant has committed or is in the process of committing
a crime. Under these circumstances, and unless impractical
or impossible, the officer must indicate on the recording
the reason for continuing to record despite the request of
the victim or witness.
(4.5) Cameras may be turned off when the officer is
engaged in community caretaking functions. However, the
camera must be turned on when the officer has reason to
believe that the person on whose behalf the officer is
performing a community caretaking function has committed
or is in the process of committing a crime. If exigent
circumstances exist which prevent the camera from being
turned on, the camera must be turned on as soon as
practicable.
(5) The officer must provide notice of recording to
any person if the person has a reasonable expectation of
privacy and proof of notice must be evident in the

HB4697 - 51 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
recording. If exigent circumstances exist which prevent
the officer from providing notice, notice must be provided
as soon as practicable.
(6) (A) For the purposes of redaction, labeling, or
duplicating recordings, access to camera recordings shall
be restricted to only those personnel responsible for
those purposes. The recording officer or his or her
supervisor may not redact, label, duplicate, or otherwise
alter the recording officer's camera recordings. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, the recording officer
and his or her supervisor may access and review recordings
prior to completing incident reports or other
documentation, provided that the officer or his or her
supervisor discloses that fact in the report or
documentation.
(i) A law enforcement officer shall not have
access to or review his or her body-worn camera
recordings or the body-worn camera recordings of
another officer prior to completing incident reports
or other documentation when the officer:

officer-involved shooting, use of deadly force
incident, or use of force incidents resulting in
great bodily harm;

to or during the investigation of a misconduct

HB4697 - 52 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

prepares a report, any report shall be prepared
without viewing body-worn camera recordings, and
subject to supervisor's approval, officers may file
amendatory reports after viewing body-worn camera
recordings. Supplemental reports under this provision
shall also contain documentation regarding access to
the video footage.
(B) The recording officer's assigned field
training officer may access and review recordings for
training purposes. Any detective or investigator
directly involved in the investigation of a matter may
access and review recordings which pertain to that
investigation but may not have access to delete or
alter such recordings.
(7) Recordings made on officer-worn cameras must be
retained by the law enforcement agency or by the camera
vendor used by the agency, on a recording medium for a
period of 90 days.
(A) Under no circumstances shall any recording,
except for a non-law enforcement related activity or
encounter, made with an officer-worn body camera be
altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration
of the 90-day storage period. In the event any
recording made with an officer-worn body camera is

HB4697 - 53 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
altered, erased, or destroyed prior to the expiration
of the 90-day storage period, the law enforcement
agency shall maintain, for a period of one year, a
written record including (i) the name of the
individual who made such alteration, erasure, or
destruction, and (ii) the reason for any such
alteration, erasure, or destruction.
(B) Following the 90-day storage period, any and
all recordings made with an officer-worn body camera
must be destroyed, unless any encounter captured on
the recording has been flagged. An encounter is deemed
to be flagged when:
(i) a formal or informal complaint has been
filed;
(ii) the officer discharged his or her firearm
or used force during the encounter;
(iii) death or great bodily harm occurred to
any person in the recording;
(iv) the encounter resulted in a detention or
an arrest, excluding traffic stops which resulted
in only a minor traffic offense or business
offense;
(v) the officer is the subject of an internal
investigation or otherwise being investigated for
possible misconduct;
(vi) the supervisor of the officer,

HB4697 - 54 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
prosecutor, defendant, or court determines that
the encounter has evidentiary value in a criminal
prosecution; or
(vii) the recording officer requests that the
video be flagged for official purposes related to
his or her official duties or believes it may have
evidentiary value in a criminal prosecution.
(C) Under no circumstances shall any recording
made with an officer-worn body camera relating to a
flagged encounter be altered or destroyed prior to 2
years after the recording was flagged. If the flagged
recording was used in a criminal, civil, or
administrative proceeding, the recording shall not be
destroyed except upon a final disposition and order
from the court.
(D) Nothing in this Act prohibits law enforcement
agencies from labeling officer-worn body camera video
within the recording medium; provided that the
labeling does not alter the actual recording of the
incident captured on the officer-worn body camera. The
labels, titles, and tags shall not be construed as
altering the officer-worn body camera video in any
way.
(8) Following the 90-day storage period, recordings
may be retained if a supervisor at the law enforcement
agency designates the recording for training purposes. If

HB4697 - 55 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the recording is designated for training purposes, the
recordings may be viewed by officers, in the presence of a
supervisor or training instructor, for the purposes of
instruction, training, or ensuring compliance with agency
policies.
(9) Recordings shall not be used to discipline law
enforcement officers unless:
(A) a formal or informal complaint of misconduct
has been made;
(B) a use of force incident has occurred;
(C) the encounter on the recording could result in
a formal investigation under the Uniform Peace
Officers' Disciplinary Act; or
(D) as corroboration of other evidence of
misconduct.
Nothing in this paragraph (9) shall be construed to
limit or prohibit a law enforcement officer from being
subject to an action that does not amount to discipline.
(10) The law enforcement agency shall ensure proper
care and maintenance of officer-worn body cameras. Upon
becoming aware, officers must as soon as practical
document and notify the appropriate supervisor of any
technical difficulties, failures, or problems with the
officer-worn body camera or associated equipment. Upon
receiving notice, the appropriate supervisor shall make
every reasonable effort to correct and repair any of the

HB4697 - 56 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
officer-worn body camera equipment.
(11) No officer may hinder or prohibit any person, not
a law enforcement officer, from recording a law
enforcement officer in the performance of his or her
duties in a public place or when the officer has no
reasonable expectation of privacy. The law enforcement
agency's written policy shall indicate the potential
criminal penalties, as well as any departmental
discipline, which may result from unlawful confiscation or
destruction of the recording medium of a person who is not
a law enforcement officer. However, an officer may take
reasonable action to maintain safety and control, secure
crime scenes and accident sites, protect the integrity and
confidentiality of investigations, and protect the public
safety and order.
(b) Recordings made with the use of an officer-worn body
camera are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, except that:
(1) if the subject of the encounter has a reasonable
expectation of privacy, at the time of the recording, any
recording which is flagged, due to the filing of a
complaint, discharge of a firearm, use of force, arrest or
detention, or resulting death or bodily harm, shall be
disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of Information
Act if:
(A) the subject of the encounter captured on the

HB4697 - 57 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
recording is a victim or witness; and
(B) the law enforcement agency obtains written
permission of the subject or the subject's legal
representative;
(2) except as provided in paragraph (1) of this
subsection (b), any recording which is flagged due to the
filing of a complaint, discharge of a firearm, use of
force, arrest or detention, or resulting death or bodily
harm shall be disclosed in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act; and
(3) upon request, the law enforcement agency shall
disclose, in accordance with the Freedom of Information
Act, the recording to the subject of the encounter
captured on the recording or to the subject's attorney, or
the officer or his or her legal representative.
For the purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection (b),
the subject of the encounter does not have a reasonable
expectation of privacy if the subject was arrested as a result
of the encounter. For purposes of subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (1) of this subsection (b), "witness" does not
include a person who is a victim or who was arrested as a
result of the encounter.
Only recordings or portions of recordings responsive to
the request shall be available for inspection or reproduction.
Any recording disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act
shall be redacted to remove identification of any person that

HB4697 - 58 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
appears on the recording and is not the officer, a subject of
the encounter, or directly involved in the encounter. Nothing
in this subsection (b) shall require the disclosure of any
recording or portion of any recording which would be exempt
from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
(c) Nothing in this Section shall limit access to a camera
recording for the purposes of complying with Supreme Court
rules or the rules of evidence.

(administrative and claims handling expenses and
expenses in connection with arrangements for ongoing
coverage), but excluding expenses incurred in the
performance of duties under Section 547 or similar
duties under the statute governing a similar
organization in another state. For property and
casualty insurance guaranty associations that guaranty
certain obligations of any member company as defined
by Section 534.5, expenses shall include, but not be
limited to, loss adjustment expenses, which shall
include adjusting and other expenses and defense and
cost containment expenses. The expenses of such
property and casualty guaranty associations, including

reimbursed as prescribed by Section 545, but shall be
subordinate to all other costs and expenses of
administration, including the expenses reimbursed
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph (a).
(ii) The expenses expressly approved or ratified

including, but not limited to, the following:

liquidation.
Any unsecured loan falling under item (5) of
subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph (a) shall have
priority over all other costs and expenses of
administration, unless the lender agrees otherwise. Absent
agreement to the contrary, all other costs and expenses of
administration shall be shared on a pro-rata basis, except
for the expenses of property and casualty guaranty
associations, which shall have a lower priority pursuant
to subparagraph (i) of this paragraph (a).
(b) Secured claims, including claims for taxes and
debts due the federal or any state or local government,
that are secured by liens perfected prior to the filing of
the complaint.
(c) Claims for wages actually owing to employees for

filing of the complaint, not exceeding $1,000 to each
employee unless there are claims due the federal
government under paragraph (f), then the claims for wages
shall have a priority of distribution immediately
following that of federal claims under paragraph (f) and
immediately preceding claims of general creditors under
paragraph (g).
(d) Claims by policyholders, beneficiaries, and
insureds, under insurance policies, annuity contracts, and
funding agreements, liability claims against insureds
covered under insurance policies and insurance contracts

Section 193, and claims of the Illinois Insurance Guaranty

Guaranty Association, and any similar organization in
another state as prescribed in Section 545. For purposes
of this Section, "funding agreement" means an agreement

HB4697 - 95 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
whereby an insurer authorized to write business under
Class 1 of Section 4 of this Code may accept and accumulate
funds and make one or more payments at future dates in
amounts that are not based upon mortality or morbidity
contingencies.
(e) Claims by policyholders, beneficiaries, and
insureds, the allowed values of which were determined by
estimation under paragraph (b) of subsection (4) of
Section 209.
(f) Any other claims due the federal government.
(g) All other claims of general creditors not falling

other owners.
Every claim under a written agreement, statute, or rule
providing that the assets in a separate account are not
chargeable with the liabilities arising out of any other
business of the insurer shall be satisfied out of the funded
assets in the separate account equal to, but not to exceed, the

HB4697 - 96 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
reserves maintained in the separate account under the separate
account agreement, and to the extent, if any, the claim is not
fully discharged thereby, the remainder of the claim shall be
treated as a priority level (d) claim under paragraph (d) of
this subsection to the extent that reserves have been
established in the insurer's general account pursuant to
statute, rule, or the separate account agreement.
For purposes of this provision, "separate account
policies, contracts, or agreements" means any policies,
contracts, or agreements that provide for separate accounts as
contemplated by Section 245.21.

those assets properly allocated to and maintained in a
separate account, have been used to fund or pay any expenses,
taxes, or policyholder benefits that are attributable to a
separate account policy, contract, or agreement that should
have been paid by a separate account prior to the commencement
of receivership proceedings, then upon the commencement of
receivership proceedings, the separate accounts that benefited
from this payment or funding shall first be used to repay or
reimburse the company's general assets or account for any
unreimbursed net sums due at the commencement of receivership
proceedings prior to the application of the separate account
assets to the satisfaction of liabilities or the corresponding
separate account policies, contracts, and agreements.
To the extent, if any, reserves or assets maintained in

HB4697 - 97 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the separate account are in excess of the amounts needed to
satisfy claims under the separate account contracts, the
excess shall be treated as part of the general assets of the
insurer's estate.
(2) Within 120 days after the issuance of an Order of
Liquidation with a finding of insolvency against a domestic
company, the Director shall make application to the court
requesting authority to disburse funds to the Illinois
Insurance Guaranty Fund, the Illinois Life and Health
Insurance Guaranty Association, the Illinois Health
Maintenance Organization Guaranty Association, and similar
organizations in other states from time to time out of the
company's marshaled assets as funds become available in
amounts equal to disbursements made by the Illinois Insurance
Guaranty Fund, the Illinois Life and Health Insurance Guaranty
Association, the Illinois Health Maintenance Organization
Guaranty Association, and similar organizations in other
states for covered claims obligations on the presentation of
evidence that such disbursements have been made by the
Illinois Insurance Guaranty Fund, the Illinois Life and Health
Insurance Guaranty Association, the Illinois Health
Maintenance Organization Guaranty Association, and similar
organizations in other states.
The Director shall establish procedures for the ratable
allocation and distribution of disbursements to the Illinois
Insurance Guaranty Fund, the Illinois Life and Health

HB4697 - 98 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Insurance Guaranty Association, the Illinois Health
Maintenance Organization Guaranty Association, and similar
organizations in other states. In determining the amounts
available for disbursement, the Director shall reserve
sufficient assets for the payment of the expenses of
administration described in paragraph (1)(a) of this Section.
All funds available for disbursement after the establishment
of the prescribed reserve shall be promptly distributed. As a
condition to receipt of funds in reimbursement of covered
claims obligations, the Director shall secure from the
Illinois Insurance Guaranty Fund, the Illinois Life and Health
Insurance Guaranty Association, the Illinois Health
Maintenance Organization Guaranty Association, and each
similar organization in other states, an agreement to return
to the Director on demand funds previously received as may be
required to pay claims of secured creditors and claims falling
within the priorities established in paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
and (d) of subsection (1) of this Section in accordance with
such priorities.

professional, except for those employed by a hospital or
hospital affiliate, as defined in the Hospital Licensing Act,
or those employed by a hospital operated under the University
of Illinois Hospital Act, who bills separately for medical or
forensic services must develop a billing protocol that ensures
that no survivor of sexual assault will be sent a bill for any
medical forensic services and submit the billing protocol to
the Crime Victim Services Division of the Office of the
Attorney General for approval. Within 60 days after the
commencement of the provision of medical forensic services,
every health care professional, except for those employed by a
hospital or hospital affiliate, as defined in the Hospital
Licensing Act, or those employed by a hospital operated under
the University of Illinois Hospital Act, who bills separately
for medical or forensic services must develop a billing
protocol that ensures that no survivor of sexual assault is
sent a bill for any medical forensic services and submit the
billing protocol to the Crime Victim Services Division of the
Office of the Attorney General for approval. Health care
professionals who bill as a legal entity may submit a single
billing protocol for the billing entity.
Within 60 days after the Department's approval of a
treatment plan, an approved pediatric health care facility and
any health care professional employed by an approved pediatric
health care facility must develop a billing protocol that
ensures that no survivor of sexual assault is sent a bill for

HB4697 - 108 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

credit reporting agency.
The Crime Victim Services Division of the Office of the
Attorney General may provide a sample acceptable billing
protocol upon request.
The Office of the Attorney General shall approve a
proposed protocol if it finds that the implementation of the
protocol would result in no survivor of sexual assault being

HB4697 - 109 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
billed or sent a bill for medical forensic services.
If the Office of the Attorney General determines that
implementation of the protocol could result in the billing of
a survivor of sexual assault for medical forensic services,
the Office of the Attorney General shall provide the health
care professional or approved pediatric health care facility
with a written statement of the deficiencies in the protocol.
The health care professional or approved pediatric health care
facility shall have 30 days to submit a revised billing
protocol addressing the deficiencies to the Office of the
Attorney General. The health care professional or approved
pediatric health care facility shall implement the protocol
upon approval by the Crime Victim Services Division of the
Office of the Attorney General.
The health care professional or approved pediatric health
care facility shall submit any proposed revision to or
modification of an approved billing protocol to the Crime
Victim Services Division of the Office of the Attorney General
for approval. The health care professional or approved
pediatric health care facility shall implement the revised or
modified billing protocol upon approval by the Crime Victim

Part 384, all reports of court supervision, except violations

an offense while driving a commercial motor vehicle. These

HB4697 - 119 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

conviction for use in the disqualification of the driver's
commercial motor vehicle privileges and shall not be

person's last known address. If the person does not appear in

court that the person's appearance in and surrender to the
court is impossible for no fault of the person, the court shall
enter an order of failure to appear. The clerk of the court
shall notify the Secretary of State, on a report prescribed by
the Secretary, of the court's order. The Secretary, when
notified by the clerk of the court that an order of failure to
appear has been entered, shall immediately suspend the
person's driver's license, which shall be designated by the
Secretary as a Failure to Appear suspension. The Secretary
shall not remove the suspension, nor issue any permit or
privileges to the person whose license has been suspended,
until notified by the ordering court that the person has
appeared and resolved the violation. Upon compliance, the
clerk of the court shall present the person with a notice of
compliance containing the seal of the court, and shall notify
the Secretary that the person has appeared and resolved the
violation.

(625 ILCS 5/11-208.3) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-208.3)
Sec. 11-208.3. Administrative adjudication of violations
of traffic regulations concerning the standing, parking, or
condition of vehicles, automated traffic law violations, and
automated speed enforcement system violations.
(a) Any municipality or county may provide by ordinance
for a system of administrative adjudication of vehicular
standing and parking violations and vehicle compliance
violations as described in this subsection, automated traffic
law violations as defined in Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or
11-1201.1, and automated speed enforcement system violations
as defined in Section 11-208.8. The administrative system
shall have as its purpose the fair and efficient enforcement
of municipal or county regulations through the administrative
adjudication of automated speed enforcement system or
automated traffic law violations and violations of municipal
or county ordinances regulating the standing and parking of

HB4697 - 142 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
vehicles, the condition and use of vehicle equipment, and the
display of municipal or county wheel tax licenses within the
municipality's or county's borders. The administrative system
shall only have authority to adjudicate civil offenses
carrying fines not in excess of $500 or requiring the
completion of a traffic education program, or both, that occur
after the effective date of the ordinance adopting such a
system under this Section. For purposes of this Section,
"compliance violation" means a violation of a municipal or
county regulation governing the condition or use of equipment
on a vehicle or governing the display of a municipal or county
wheel tax license.
(b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative
adjudication under this Section shall provide for:
(1) A traffic compliance administrator authorized to
adopt, distribute, and process parking, compliance, and
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
law violation notices and other notices required by this
Section, collect money paid as fines and penalties for
violation of parking and compliance ordinances and
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
law violations, and operate an administrative adjudication
system. The traffic compliance administrator also may make
a certified report to the Secretary of State under Section
6-306.5-1.
(2) A parking, standing, compliance, automated speed

HB4697 - 143 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation
notice that shall specify or include the date, time, and
place of violation of a parking, standing, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
law regulation; the particular regulation violated; any
requirement to complete a traffic education program; the
fine and any penalty that may be assessed for late payment
or failure to complete a required traffic education
program, or both, when so provided by ordinance; the
vehicle make or a photograph of the vehicle; the state
registration number of the vehicle; and the identification
number of the person issuing the notice. With regard to
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
law violations, vehicle make shall be specified on the
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
law violation notice if the notice does not include a
photograph of the vehicle and the make is available and
readily discernible. With regard to municipalities or
counties with a population of 1 million or more, it shall
be grounds for dismissal of a parking violation if the
state registration number or vehicle make specified is
incorrect. The violation notice shall state that the
completion of any required traffic education program, the
payment of any indicated fine, and the payment of any
applicable penalty for late payment or failure to complete
a required traffic education program, or both, shall

HB4697 - 144 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
operate as a final disposition of the violation. The
notice also shall contain information as to the
availability of a hearing in which the violation may be
contested on its merits. The violation notice shall
specify the time and manner in which a hearing may be had.
(3) Service of a parking, standing, or compliance
violation notice by: (i) affixing the original or a
facsimile of the notice to an unlawfully parked or
standing vehicle; (ii) handing the notice to the operator
of a vehicle if he or she is present; or (iii) mailing the
notice to the address of the registered owner or lessee of
the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State
or the lessor of the motor vehicle within 30 days after the
Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle
notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the
owner or lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days
after the date of the violation, except that in the case of
a lessee of a motor vehicle, service of a parking,
standing, or compliance violation notice may occur no
later than 210 days after the violation; and service of an
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
law violation notice by mail to the address of the
registered owner or lessee of the cited vehicle as
recorded with the Secretary of State or the lessor of the
motor vehicle within 30 days after the Secretary of State
or the lessor of the motor vehicle notifies the

HB4697 - 145 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
municipality or county of the identity of the owner or
lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days after the
violation, except that in the case of a lessee of a motor
vehicle, service of an automated traffic law violation
notice may occur no later than 210 days after the
violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and
serve parking, standing, and compliance violation notices
shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered
on the violation notice by signing his or her name to the
notice at the time of service or, in the case of a notice
produced by a computerized device, by signing a single
certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance
administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices
produced by the device while it was under his or her
control. In the case of an automated traffic law
violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by
a technician employed or contracted by the municipality or
county that, based on inspection of recorded images, the
motor vehicle was being operated in violation of Section
11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance. If
the technician determines that the vehicle entered the
intersection as part of a funeral procession or in order
to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a
citation shall not be issued. In municipalities with a
population of less than 1,000,000 inhabitants and counties
with a population of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the

HB4697 - 146 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all
determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
the violation. In municipalities with a population of
1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a
population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the automated
traffic law ordinance shall require that all
determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
the violation or by an additional fully trained reviewing
technician who is not employed by the contractor who
employs the technician who made the initial determination.
In the case of an automated speed enforcement system
violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by
a technician employed by the municipality, based upon an
inspection of recorded images, video or other
documentation, including documentation of the speed limit
and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation
of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the
speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in

HB4697 - 147 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a
similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that
the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated,
certified speed equipment device based upon the speed
equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an
emergency vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The
automated speed enforcement ordinance shall require that
all determinations by a technician that a violation
occurred be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement
officer or retired law enforcement officer of the
municipality issuing the violation or by an additional
fully trained reviewing technician who is not employed by
the contractor who employs the technician who made the
initial determination. Routine and independent calibration
of the speeds produced by automated speed enforcement
systems and equipment shall be conducted annually by a
qualified technician. Speeds produced by an automated
speed enforcement system shall be compared with speeds
produced by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or
lidar equipment shall undergo an internal validation test
no less frequently than once each week. Qualified
technicians shall test loop-based equipment no less
frequently than once a year. Radar equipment shall be
checked for accuracy by a qualified technician when the
unit is serviced, when unusual or suspect readings
persist, or when deemed necessary by a reviewing

HB4697 - 148 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
technician. Radar equipment shall be checked with the
internal frequency generator and the internal circuit test
whenever the radar is turned on. Technicians must be alert
for any unusual or suspect readings, and if unusual or
suspect readings of a radar unit persist, that unit shall
immediately be removed from service and not returned to
service until it has been checked by a qualified
technician and determined to be functioning properly.
Documentation of the annual calibration results, including
the equipment tested, test date, technician performing the
test, and test results, shall be maintained and available
for use in the determination of an automated speed
enforcement system violation and issuance of a citation.
The technician performing the calibration and testing of
the automated speed enforcement equipment shall be trained
and certified in the use of equipment for speed
enforcement purposes. Training on the speed enforcement
equipment may be conducted by law enforcement, civilian,
or manufacturer's personnel and if applicable may be
equivalent to the equipment use and operations training
included in the Speed Measuring Device Operator Program
developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA). The vendor or technician who
performs the work shall keep accurate records on each
piece of equipment the technician calibrates and tests. As
used in this paragraph, "fully trained reviewing

HB4697 - 149 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
technician" means a person who has received at least 40
hours of supervised training in subjects which shall
include image inspection and interpretation, the elements
necessary to prove a violation, license plate
identification, and traffic safety and management. In all
municipalities and counties, the automated speed
enforcement system or automated traffic law ordinance
shall require that no additional fee shall be charged to
the alleged violator for exercising his or her right to an
administrative hearing, and persons shall be given at
least 25 days following an administrative hearing to pay
any civil penalty imposed by a finding that Section
11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a similar
local ordinance has been violated. The original or a
facsimile of the violation notice or, in the case of a
notice produced by a computerized device, a printed record
generated by the device showing the facts entered on the
notice, shall be retained by the traffic compliance
administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary
course of business. A parking, standing, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
law violation notice issued, signed, and served in
accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the
computer-generated record shall be prima facie correct and
shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
facts shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or

HB4697 - 150 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
computer-generated record shall be admissible in any
subsequent administrative or legal proceedings.
(4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered
owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
automated traffic law violation notice in which the owner
may contest the merits of the alleged violation, and
during which formal or technical rules of evidence shall
not apply; provided, however, that under Section 11-1306
of this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited in the violation
notice likewise shall be provided an opportunity for a
hearing of the same kind afforded the registered owner.
The hearings shall be recorded, and the person conducting
the hearing on behalf of the traffic compliance
administrator shall be empowered to administer oaths and
to secure by subpoena both the attendance and testimony of
witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers.
Persons appearing at a hearing under this Section may be
represented by counsel at their expense. The ordinance may
also provide for internal administrative review following
the decision of the hearing officer.
(5) Service of additional notices, sent by first class
United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the
registered owner of the cited vehicle as recorded with the
Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is
returned as undeliverable, to the last known address

HB4697 - 151 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
recorded in a United States Post Office approved database,
or, under Section 11-1306 or subsection (p) of Section
11-208.6 or 11-208.9, or subsection (p) of Section
11-208.8 of this Code, to the lessee of the cited vehicle
at the last address known to the lessor of the cited
vehicle at the time of lease or, if any notice to that
address is returned as undeliverable, to the last known
address recorded in a United States Post Office approved
database. The service shall be deemed complete as of the
date of deposit in the United States mail. The notices
shall be in the following sequence and shall include, but
not be limited to, the information specified herein:
(i) A second notice of parking, standing, or
compliance violation if the first notice of the
violation was issued by affixing the original or a
facsimile of the notice to the unlawfully parked
vehicle or by handing the notice to the operator. This
notice shall specify or include the date and location
of the violation cited in the parking, standing, or
compliance violation notice, the particular regulation
violated, the vehicle make or a photograph of the
vehicle, the state registration number of the vehicle,
any requirement to complete a traffic education
program, the fine and any penalty that may be assessed
for late payment or failure to complete a traffic
education program, or both, when so provided by

HB4697 - 152 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
ordinance, the availability of a hearing in which the
violation may be contested on its merits, and the time
and manner in which the hearing may be had. The notice
of violation shall also state that failure to complete
a required traffic education program, to pay the
indicated fine and any applicable penalty, or to
appear at a hearing on the merits in the time and
manner specified, will result in a final determination
of violation liability for the cited violation in the
amount of the fine or penalty indicated, and that,
upon the occurrence of a final determination of
violation liability for the failure, and the
exhaustion of, or failure to exhaust, available
administrative or judicial procedures for review, any
incomplete traffic education program or any unpaid
fine or penalty, or both, will constitute a debt due
and owing the municipality or county.
(ii) A notice of final determination of parking,
standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violation liability.
This notice shall be sent following a final
determination of parking, standing, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated
traffic law violation liability and the conclusion of
judicial review procedures taken under this Section.
The notice shall state that the incomplete traffic

HB4697 - 153 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
education program or the unpaid fine or penalty, or
both, is a debt due and owing the municipality or
county. The notice shall contain warnings that failure
to complete any required traffic education program or
to pay any fine or penalty due and owing the
municipality or county, or both, within the time
specified may result in the municipality's or county's
filing of a petition in the Circuit Court to have the
incomplete traffic education program or unpaid fine or
penalty, or both, rendered a judgment as provided by
this Section, or, where applicable, may result in
suspension of the person's driver's license for
failure to complete a traffic education program or to
pay fines or penalties, or both, for 5 or more
automated traffic law violations under Section
11-208.6 or 11-208.9 or automated speed enforcement
system violations under Section 11-208.8.
(6) A notice of impending driver's license suspension.
This notice shall be sent to the person liable for failure
to complete a required traffic education program or to pay
any fine or penalty that remains due and owing, or both, on
5 or more unpaid automated speed enforcement system or
automated traffic law violations. The notice shall state
that failure to complete a required traffic education
program or to pay the fine or penalty owing, or both,
within 45 days of the notice's date will result in the

HB4697 - 154 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
municipality or county notifying the Secretary of State
that the person is eligible for initiation of suspension
proceedings under Section 6-306.5-1 6-306.5 of this Code.
The notice shall also state that the person may obtain a
photostatic copy of an original ticket imposing a fine or
penalty by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to
the municipality or county along with a request for the
photostatic copy. The notice of impending driver's license
suspension shall be sent by first class United States
mail, postage prepaid, to the address recorded with the
Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is
returned as undeliverable, to the last known address
recorded in a United States Post Office approved database.
(7) Final determinations of violation liability. A
final determination of violation liability shall occur
following failure to complete the required traffic
education program or to pay the fine or penalty, or both,
after a hearing officer's determination of violation
liability and the exhaustion of or failure to exhaust any
administrative review procedures provided by ordinance.
Where a person fails to appear at a hearing to contest the
alleged violation in the time and manner specified in a
prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's determination
of violation liability shall become final: (A) upon denial
of a timely petition to set aside that determination, or
(B) upon expiration of the period for filing the petition

HB4697 - 155 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
without a filing having been made.
(8) A petition to set aside a determination of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violation liability that
may be filed by a person owing an unpaid fine or penalty. A
petition to set aside a determination of liability may
also be filed by a person required to complete a traffic
education program. The petition shall be filed with and
ruled upon by the traffic compliance administrator in the
manner and within the time specified by ordinance. The
grounds for the petition may be limited to: (A) the person
not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on
the date the violation notice was issued, (B) the person
having already completed the required traffic education
program or paid the fine or penalty, or both, for the
violation in question, and (C) excusable failure to appear
at or request a new date for a hearing. With regard to
municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million
or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking
violation if the state registration number or vehicle
make, only if specified in the violation notice, is
incorrect. After the determination of parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
automated traffic law violation liability has been set
aside upon a showing of just cause, the registered owner
shall be provided with a hearing on the merits for that

HB4697 - 156 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
violation.
(9) Procedures for non-residents. Procedures by which
persons who are not residents of the municipality or
county may contest the merits of the alleged violation
without attending a hearing.
(10) A schedule of civil fines for violations of
vehicular standing, parking, compliance, automated speed
enforcement system, or automated traffic law regulations
enacted by ordinance pursuant to this Section, and a
schedule of penalties for late payment of the fines or
failure to complete required traffic education programs,
provided, however, that the total amount of the fine and
penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250,
except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3
of this Code.
(11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to
carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated
in this Section.
(b-5) An automated speed enforcement system or automated
traffic law ordinance adopted under this Section by a
municipality or county shall require that the determination to
issue a citation be vested solely with the municipality or
county and that such authority may not be delegated to any
vendor retained by the municipality or county. Any contract or
agreement violating such a provision in the ordinance is null
and void.

HB4697 - 157 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular
standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law regulations under this
Section may also provide by ordinance for a program of vehicle
immobilization for the purpose of facilitating enforcement of
those regulations. The program of vehicle immobilization shall
provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the public
way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation
of the vehicle. Any ordinance establishing a program of
vehicle immobilization under this Section shall provide:
(1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible
for immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for
immobilization when the registered owner of the vehicle
has accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education
programs or unpaid final determinations of parking,
standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, as
determined by ordinance.
(2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and a
right to a hearing to challenge the validity of the notice
by disproving liability for the incomplete traffic
education programs or unpaid final determinations of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or
both, listed on the notice.
(3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has

HB4697 - 158 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
been immobilized or subsequently towed without the
completion of the required traffic education program or
payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking,
standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which
final determinations have been issued. An order issued
after the hearing is a final administrative decision
within the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.
(4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice
advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right
to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
(d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking,
standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
automated traffic law violations and final administrative
decisions issued after hearings regarding vehicle
immobilization and impoundment made under this Section shall
be subject to the provisions of the Administrative Review Law.
(e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education
program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining unpaid
after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust,
administrative remedies created under this Section and the
conclusion of any judicial review procedures shall be a debt
due and owing the municipality or county and, as such, may be
collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any
required traffic education program and payment in full of any

HB4697 - 159 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated
traffic law violation shall constitute a final disposition of
that violation.
(f) After the expiration of the period within which
judicial review may be sought for a final determination of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violation, the municipality
or county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for
purposes of obtaining a judgment on the final determination of
violation. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a
municipality or county from consolidating multiple final
determinations of parking, standing, compliance, automated
speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violations
against a person in a proceeding. Upon commencement of the
action, the municipality or county shall file a certified copy
or record of the final determination of parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated
traffic law violation, which shall be accompanied by a
certification that recites facts sufficient to show that the
final determination of violation was issued in accordance with
this Section and the applicable municipal or county ordinance.
Service of the summons and a copy of the petition may be by any
method provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil
Procedure or by certified mail, return receipt requested,
provided that the total amount of fines and penalties for

HB4697 - 160 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
final determinations of parking, standing, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violations does not exceed $2500. If the court is satisfied
that the final determination of parking, standing, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violation was entered in accordance with the requirements of
this Section and the applicable municipal or county ordinance,
and that the registered owner or the lessee, as the case may
be, had an opportunity for an administrative hearing and for
judicial review as provided in this Section, the court shall
render judgment in favor of the municipality or county and
against the registered owner or the lessee for the amount
indicated in the final determination of parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated
traffic law violation, plus costs. The judgment shall have the
same effect and may be enforced in the same manner as other
judgments for the recovery of money.
(g) The fee for participating in a traffic education
program under this Section shall not exceed $25.
A low-income individual required to complete a traffic
education program under this Section who provides proof of
eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under
Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned
income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax
Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a
required traffic education program.

HB4697 - 161 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
contrary, a person shall not be liable for violations, fees,
fines, or penalties under this Section during the period in
which the motor vehicle was stolen or hijacked, as indicated
in a report to the appropriate law enforcement agency filed in
a timely manner.

(625 ILCS 5/11-208.6)
Sec. 11-208.6. Automated traffic law enforcement system.
(a) As used in this Section, "automated traffic law
enforcement system" means a device with one or more motor
vehicle sensors working in conjunction with a red light signal
to produce recorded images of motor vehicles entering an
intersection against a red signal indication in violation of
Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance.
An automated traffic law enforcement system is a system,
in a municipality or county operated by a governmental agency,
that produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's violation
of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance and is
designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the vehicle and
the vehicle's license plate. The recorded image must also
display the time, date, and location of the violation.
(b) As used in this Section, "recorded images" means

HB4697 - 162 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
images recorded by an automated traffic law enforcement system
on:
(1) 2 or more photographs;
(2) 2 or more microphotographs;
(3) 2 or more electronic images; or
(4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and,
on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly
identifying the registration plate or digital registration
plate number of the motor vehicle.
(b-5) A municipality or county that produces a recorded
image of a motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this
Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a
violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the
alleged violator with a website address, accessible through
the Internet.
(c) Except as provided under Section 11-208.8 of this
Code, a county or municipality, including a home rule county
or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law
enforcement system to provide recorded images of a motor
vehicle for the purpose of recording its speed. Except as
provided under Section 11-208.8 of this Code, the regulation
of the use of automated traffic law enforcement systems to
record vehicle speeds is an exclusive power and function of
the State. This subsection (c) is a denial and limitation of
home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section
6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.

HB4697 - 163 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(c-5) A county or municipality, including a home rule
county or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law
enforcement system to issue violations in instances where the
motor vehicle comes to a complete stop and does not enter the
intersection, as defined by Section 1-132 of this Code, during
the cycle of the red signal indication unless one or more
pedestrians or bicyclists are present, even if the motor
vehicle stops at a point past a stop line or crosswalk where a
driver is required to stop, as specified in subsection (c) of
Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance.
(c-6) A county, or a municipality with less than 2,000,000
inhabitants, including a home rule county or municipality, may
not use an automated traffic law enforcement system to issue
violations in instances where a motorcyclist enters an
intersection against a red signal indication when the red
signal fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable
period of time not less than 120 seconds because of a signal
malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the
arrival of the motorcycle due to the motorcycle's size or
weight.
(d) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a
local ordinance recorded by an automatic traffic law
enforcement system, the county or municipality having
jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the violation to
the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged violator.

HB4697 - 164 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
The notice shall be delivered to the registered owner of the
vehicle, by mail, within 30 days after the Secretary of State
notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the
owner of the vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after
the violation.
The notice shall include:
(1) the name and address of the registered owner of
the vehicle;
(2) the registration number of the motor vehicle
involved in the violation;
(3) the violation charged;
(4) the location where the violation occurred;
(5) the date and time of the violation;
(6) a copy of the recorded images;
(7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the
requirements of any traffic education program imposed and
the date by which the civil penalty should be paid and the
traffic education program should be completed;
(8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a
violation of a red light signal;
(9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty,
to complete a required traffic education program, or to
contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of
liability and may result in a suspension of the driving
privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle;
(10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed

HB4697 - 165 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
by:
(A) paying the fine, completing a required traffic
education program, or both; or
(B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or
by administrative hearing; and
(11) a website address, accessible through the
Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of
the violation.
(e) (Blank).
(e-1) If a person charged with a traffic violation, as a
result of an automated traffic law enforcement system, does
not pay the fine or complete a required traffic education
program, or both, or successfully contest the civil penalty
resulting from that violation, the Secretary of State shall
suspend the driving privileges of the registered owner of the
vehicle under Section 6-306.5-1 of this Code for failing to
complete a required traffic education program or to pay any
fine or penalty due and owing, or both, as a result of a
combination of 5 violations of the automated traffic law
enforcement system or the automated speed enforcement system
under Section 11-208.8 of this Code.
(f) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging
that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts
contained in the notice and admissible in any proceeding
alleging a violation under this Section.

HB4697 - 166 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(g) Recorded images made by an automatic traffic law
enforcement system are confidential and shall be made
available only to the alleged violator and governmental and
law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a
violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for
other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a
violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in any
proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation.
(h) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense
of a violation:
(1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or
digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were
stolen before the violation occurred and not under the
control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at
the time of the violation;
(1.5) that the motor vehicle was hijacked before the
violation occurred and not under the control of or in the
possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the
violation;
(2) that the driver of the vehicle passed through the
intersection when the light was red either (i) in order to
yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle or (ii) as
part of a funeral procession; and
(3) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal
or county ordinance.
(i) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or

HB4697 - 167 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the motor vehicle or registration plates or digital
registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred
and were not under the control or possession of the owner or
lessee at the time of the violation, the owner or lessee must
submit proof that a report concerning the motor vehicle or
registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in
a timely manner.
(j) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a
Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of
the violation, the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil
penalty not exceeding $100 or the completion of a traffic
education program, or both, plus an additional penalty of not
more than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty or to
complete a required traffic education program, or both, in a
timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by an
automated traffic law enforcement system. A violation for
which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a
violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of
vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the
owner of the vehicle.
(j-3) A registered owner who is a holder of a valid
commercial driver's license is not required to complete a
traffic education program.
(j-5) For purposes of the required traffic education
program only, a registered owner may submit an affidavit to
the court or hearing officer swearing that at the time of the

HB4697 - 168 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
alleged violation, the vehicle was in the custody and control
of another person. The affidavit must identify the person in
custody and control of the vehicle, including the person's
name and current address. The person in custody and control of
the vehicle at the time of the violation is required to
complete the required traffic education program. If the person
in custody and control of the vehicle at the time of the
violation completes the required traffic education program,
the registered owner of the vehicle is not required to
complete a traffic education program.
(k) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must be posted with a sign visible to
approaching traffic indicating that the intersection is being
monitored by an automated traffic law enforcement system and
informing drivers whether, following a stop, a right turn at
the intersection is permitted or prohibited.
(k-3) A municipality or county that has one or more
intersections equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must provide notice to drivers by posting
the locations of automated traffic law systems on the
municipality or county website.
(k-5) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic
law enforcement system must have a yellow change interval that
conforms with the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (IMUTCD) published by the Illinois Department of
Transportation. Beginning 6 months before it installs an

HB4697 - 169 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
automated traffic law enforcement system at an intersection, a
county or municipality may not change the yellow change
interval at that intersection.
(k-7) A municipality or county operating an automated
traffic law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical
analysis to assess the safety impact of each automated traffic
law enforcement system at an intersection following
installation of the system and every 2 years thereafter. Each
statistical analysis shall be based upon the best available
crash, traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of
time before and after installation of the system sufficient to
provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact.
Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with
professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each
statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data
required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions
and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following
the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement
system. Each statistical analysis required by this subsection
(k-7) shall be made available to the public and shall be
published on the website of the municipality or county. If a
statistical analysis 36-month indicates that there has been an
increase in the rate of crashes at the approach to the
intersection monitored by the system, the municipality or
county shall undertake additional studies to determine the
cause and severity of the crashes, and may take any action that

HB4697 - 170 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
it determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the number
or severity of the crashes at that intersection.
(k-8) Any municipality or county operating an automated
traffic law enforcement system before July 28, 2023 (the
effective date of Public Act 103-364) this amendatory Act of
the 103rd General Assembly shall conduct a statistical
analysis to assess the safety impact of each automated traffic
law enforcement system at an intersection by no later than one
year after July 28, 2023 (the effective date of Public Act
103-364 this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly and
every 2 years thereafter. The statistical analyses shall be
based upon the best available crash, traffic, and other data,
and shall cover a period of time before and after installation
of the system sufficient to provide a statistically valid
comparison of safety impact. The statistical analyses shall be
consistent with professional judgment and acceptable industry
practice. The statistical analyses also shall be consistent
with the data required for valid comparisons of before and
after conditions. The statistical analyses required by this
subsection shall be made available to the public and shall be
published on the website of the municipality or county. If the
statistical analysis for any period following installation of
the system indicates that there has been an increase in the
rate of accidents at the approach to the intersection
monitored by the system, the municipality or county shall
undertake additional studies to determine the cause and

HB4697 - 171 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
severity of the accidents, and may take any action that it
determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the number or
severity of the accidents at that intersection.
(l) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law
enforcement system must be based on the value of the equipment
or the services provided and may not be based on the number of
traffic citations issued or the revenue generated by the
system.
(l-1) No member of the General Assembly and no officer or
employee of a municipality or county shall knowingly accept
employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a
vendor that provides automated traffic law enforcement system
equipment or services to municipalities or counties. No former
member of the General Assembly shall, within a period of 2
years immediately after the termination of service as a member
of the General Assembly, knowingly accept employment or
receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that
provides automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or
services to municipalities or counties. No former officer or
employee of a municipality or county shall, within a period of
2 years immediately after the termination of municipal or
county employment, knowingly accept employment or receive
compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides
automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or services
to municipalities or counties.
(m) This Section applies only to the counties of Cook,

HB4697 - 172 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair, and Will and
to municipalities located within those counties.
(n) The fee for participating in a traffic education
program under this Section shall not exceed $25.
A low-income individual required to complete a traffic
education program under this Section who provides proof of
eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under
Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned
income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax
Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a
required traffic education program.
(o) (Blank).
(o-1) A municipality or county shall make a certified
report to the Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6-306.5-1
of this Code whenever a registered owner of a vehicle has
failed to pay any fine or penalty due and owing as a result of
a combination of 5 offenses for automated traffic law or speed
enforcement system violations.
(p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant
to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated
speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving
such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided
that upon the request of the appropriate authority received
within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor
provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and
address of the lessee. The driver's license number of a lessee

HB4697 - 173 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
may be subsequently individually requested by the appropriate
authority if needed for enforcement of this Section.
Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant
to this subsection, the county or municipality may issue the
violation to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it
would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle
pursuant to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for
the violation.
(q) If a county or municipality selects a new vendor for
its automated traffic law enforcement system and must, as a
consequence, apply for a permit, approval, or other
authorization from the Department for reinstallation of one or
more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the
time of the application for the permit, approval, or other
authorization, the new vendor operates an automated traffic
law enforcement system for any other county or municipality in
the State, then the Department shall approve or deny the
county or municipality's application for the permit, approval,
or other authorization within 90 days after its receipt.
(r) The Department may revoke any permit, approval, or
other authorization granted to a county or municipality for
the placement, installation, or operation of an automated

(625 ILCS 5/11-208.8)
Sec. 11-208.8. Automated speed enforcement systems in
safety zones.
(a) As used in this Section:
"Automated speed enforcement system" means a photographic
device, radar device, laser device, or other electrical or
mechanical device or devices installed or utilized in a safety

HB4697 - 175 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
zone and designed to record the speed of a vehicle and obtain a
clear photograph or other recorded image of the vehicle and
the vehicle's registration plate or digital registration plate
while the driver is violating Article VI of Chapter 11 of this
Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance.
An automated speed enforcement system is a system, located
in a safety zone which is under the jurisdiction of a
municipality, that produces a recorded image of a motor
vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a local
ordinance and is designed to obtain a clear recorded image of
the vehicle and the vehicle's license plate. The recorded
image must also display the time, date, and location of the
violation.
"Owner" means the person or entity to whom the vehicle is
registered.
"Recorded image" means images recorded by an automated
speed enforcement system on:
(1) 2 or more photographs;
(2) 2 or more microphotographs;
(3) 2 or more electronic images; or
(4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and,
on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly
identifying the registration plate or digital registration
plate number of the motor vehicle.
"Safety zone" means an area that is within one-eighth of a
mile from the nearest property line of any public or private

HB4697 - 176 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
elementary or secondary school, or from the nearest property
line of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district
that is used for educational purposes approved by the Illinois
State Board of Education, not including school district
headquarters or administrative buildings. A safety zone also
includes an area that is within one-eighth of a mile from the
nearest property line of any facility, area, or land owned by a
park district used for recreational purposes. However, if any
portion of a roadway is within either one-eighth mile radius,
the safety zone also shall include the roadway extended to the
furthest portion of the next furthest intersection. The term
"safety zone" does not include any portion of the roadway
known as Lake Shore Drive or any controlled access highway
with 8 or more lanes of traffic.
(a-5) The automated speed enforcement system shall be
operational and violations shall be recorded only at the
following times:
(i) if the safety zone is based upon the property line
of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district,
only on school days and no earlier than 6 a.m. and no later
than 8:30 p.m. if the school day is during the period of
Monday through Thursday, or 9 p.m. if the school day is a
Friday; and
(ii) if the safety zone is based upon the property
line of any facility, area, or land owned by a park
district, no earlier than one hour prior to the time that

HB4697 - 177 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the facility, area, or land is open to the public or other
patrons, and no later than one hour after the facility,
area, or land is closed to the public or other patrons.
(b) A municipality that produces a recorded image of a
motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a
local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation
accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged
violator with a website address, accessible through the
Internet.
(c) Notwithstanding any penalties for any other violations
of this Code, the owner of a motor vehicle used in a traffic
violation recorded by an automated speed enforcement system
shall be subject to the following penalties:
(1) if the recorded speed is no less than 6 miles per
hour and no more than 10 miles per hour over the legal
speed limit, a civil penalty not exceeding $50, plus an
additional penalty of not more than $50 for failure to pay
the original penalty in a timely manner; or
(2) if the recorded speed is more than 10 miles per
hour over the legal speed limit, a civil penalty not
exceeding $100, plus an additional penalty of not more
than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty in a
timely manner.
A penalty may not be imposed under this Section if the
driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic
Citation from a police officer for a speeding violation

HB4697 - 178 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
occurring within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the
violation that was recorded by the system. A violation for
which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a
violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of
vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the
owner of the vehicle. A law enforcement officer is not
required to be present or to witness the violation. No penalty
may be imposed under this Section if the recorded speed of a
vehicle is 5 miles per hour or less over the legal speed limit.
The municipality may send, in the same manner that notices are
sent under this Section, a speed violation warning notice
where the violation involves a speed of 5 miles per hour or
less above the legal speed limit.
(d) The net proceeds that a municipality receives from
civil penalties imposed under an automated speed enforcement
system, after deducting all non-personnel and personnel costs
associated with the operation and maintenance of such system,

(i) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense
of a violation:
(1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or
digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were
stolen before the violation occurred and not under the
control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at
the time of the violation;

HB4697 - 191 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(1.5) that the motor vehicle was hijacked before the
violation occurred and not under the control of or in the
possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the
violation;
(2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a
Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a
violation of Section 11-1414 of this Code within
one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that
was recorded by the system;
(3) that the visual signals required by Sections
12-803 and 12-805 of this Code were damaged, not
activated, not present in violation of Sections 12-803 and

penalty not exceeding $150 for a first time violation or $500
for a second or subsequent violation, plus an additional
penalty of not more than $100 for failure to pay the original
penalty in a timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by
an automated traffic law enforcement system. A violation for
which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a
violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of
vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the
owner of the vehicle, but may be recorded by the municipality
or county for the purpose of determining if a person is subject
to the higher fine for a second or subsequent offense.
(l) A school bus equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must be posted with a sign indicating that
the school bus is being monitored by an automated traffic law
enforcement system.
(m) A municipality or county that has one or more school
buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement
system must provide notice to drivers by posting a list of
school districts using school buses equipped with an automated

this Section, each school district within that municipality or
county's jurisdiction may implement an automated traffic law
enforcement system under this Section. The elected school
board for that district must approve the implementation of an
automated traffic law enforcement system. The school district
shall be responsible for entering into a contract, approved by
the elected school board of that district, with vendors for
the installation, maintenance, and operation of the automated
traffic law enforcement system. The school district must enter
into an intergovernmental agreement, approved by the elected
school board of that district, with the municipality or county
with jurisdiction over that school district for the
administration of the automated traffic law enforcement
system. The proceeds from a school district's automated
traffic law enforcement system's fines shall be divided
equally between the school district and the municipality or
county administering the automated traffic law enforcement

first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
address recorded with the Secretary of State or at the last

The information derived from the juvenile law
enforcement records shall be kept separate from and

interest to aid in the proper rehabilitation of the
child and to protect the safety of students and

limitation on the use of information about a minor who
is the subject of a current police investigation shall
in no way limit the use of this information by

of the information disclosed during a police
investigation of the minor. For purposes of this

Section 235. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by
changing Sections 7-5, 7-5.5, 7-9, 9-1, and 33-3 as follows:
(720 ILCS 5/7-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-5)
Sec. 7-5. Peace officer's use of force in making arrest.
(a) A peace officer, or any person whom he has summoned or
directed to assist him, need not retreat or desist from
efforts to make a lawful arrest because of resistance or
threatened resistance to the arrest. He is justified in the
use of any force which he reasonably believes, based on the

HB4697 - 272 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
totality of the circumstances, to be necessary to effect the
arrest and of any force which he reasonably believes, based on
the totality of the circumstances, to be necessary to defend
himself or another from bodily harm while making the arrest.
However, he is justified in using force likely to cause death
or great bodily harm only when: (i) he reasonably believes,
based on the totality of the circumstances, that such force is
necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or
such other person; or (ii) when he reasonably believes, based
on the totality of the circumstances, both that:
(1) Such force is necessary to prevent the arrest from
being defeated by resistance or escape and the officer
reasonably believes that the person to be arrested is
likely to cause great bodily harm to another; and
(2) The person to be arrested committed or attempted a
forcible felony which involves the infliction or
threatened infliction of great bodily harm or is
attempting to escape by use of a deadly weapon, or
otherwise indicates that he will endanger human life or
inflict great bodily harm unless arrested without delay.
As used in this subsection, "retreat" does not mean
tactical repositioning or other de-escalation tactics.
A peace officer is not justified in using force likely to
cause death or great bodily harm when there is no longer an
imminent threat of great bodily harm to the officer or
another.

HB4697 - 273 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(a-5) Where feasible, a peace officer shall, prior to the
use of force, make reasonable efforts to identify himself or
herself as a peace officer and to warn that deadly force may be
used.
(a-10) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against
a person based on the danger that the person poses to himself
or herself if a reasonable officer would believe the person
does not pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm
to the peace officer or to another person.
(a-15) A peace officer shall not use deadly force against
a person who is suspected of committing a property offense,
unless that offense is terrorism or unless deadly force is
otherwise authorized by law.
(b) A peace officer making an arrest pursuant to an
invalid warrant is justified in the use of any force which he
would be justified in using if the warrant were valid, unless
he knows that the warrant is invalid.
(c) The authority to use physical force conferred on peace
officers by this Article is a serious responsibility that
shall be exercised judiciously and with respect for human
rights and dignity and for the sanctity of every human life.
(d) Peace officers shall use deadly force only when
reasonably necessary in defense of human life. In determining
whether deadly force is reasonably necessary, officers shall
evaluate each situation in light of the totality of
circumstances of each case, including, but not limited to, the

HB4697 - 274 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
proximity in time of the use of force to the commission of a
forcible felony, and the reasonable feasibility of safely
apprehending a subject at a later time, and shall use other
available resources and techniques, if reasonably safe and
feasible to a reasonable officer.
(e) The decision by a peace officer to use force shall be
evaluated carefully and thoroughly, in a manner that reflects
the gravity of that authority and the serious consequences of
the use of force by peace officers, in order to ensure that
officers use force consistent with law and agency policies.
(f) The decision by a peace officer to use force shall be
evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the
same situation, based on the totality of the circumstances
known to or perceived by the officer at the time of the
decision, rather than with the benefit of hindsight, and that
the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions
when officers may be forced to make quick judgments about
using force.
(g) Law enforcement agencies are encouraged to adopt and
develop policies designed to protect individuals with
physical, mental health, developmental, or intellectual
disabilities, or individuals who are significantly more likely
to experience greater levels of physical force during police
interactions, as these disabilities may affect the ability of
a person to understand or comply with commands from peace
officers.

HB4697 - 275 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(h) As used in this Section:
(1) "Deadly force" means any use of force that creates
a substantial risk of causing death or great bodily harm,
including, but not limited to, the discharge of a firearm.
(2) A threat of death or serious bodily injury is
"imminent" when, based on the totality of the
circumstances, a reasonable officer in the same situation
would believe that a person has the present ability,
opportunity, and apparent intent to immediately cause
death or great bodily harm to the peace officer or another
person. An imminent harm is not merely a fear of future
harm, no matter how great the fear and no matter how great
the likelihood of the harm, but is one that, from
appearances, must be instantly confronted and addressed.
(3) "Totality of the circumstances" means all facts
known to the peace officer at the time, or that would be
known to a reasonable officer in the same situation,
including the conduct of the officer and the subject
leading up to the use of deadly force.

or her duties, unless deadly force is justified under this
Article.
(b) A peace officer, or any other person acting under the
color of law, shall not use a chokehold or restraint above the
shoulders with risk of asphyxiation, or any lesser contact
with the throat or neck area of another, in order to prevent
the destruction of evidence by ingestion.
(c) As used in this Section, "chokehold" means applying
any direct pressure to the throat, windpipe, or airway of
another with the intent to reduce or prevent the intake of air.
"Chokehold" does not include any holding involving contact
with the neck that is not intended to reduce the intake of air
such as a headlock where the only pressure applied is to the
head.
(d) As used in this Section, "restraint above the
shoulders with risk of positional asphyxiation" means a use of
a technique used to restrain a person above the shoulders,
including the neck or head, in a position which interferes
with the person's ability to breathe after the person no
longer poses a threat to the officer or any other person.
(e) A peace officer, or any other person acting under the
color of law, shall not:
(i) use force as punishment or retaliation;
(ii) discharge kinetic impact projectiles and all
other non-lethal or less-lethal projectiles in a manner

HB4697 - 277 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
that targets the head, neck, groin, anterior pelvis, or
back;
(iii) discharge conducted electrical weapons in a
manner that targets the head, chest, neck, groin, or
anterior pelvis;
(iv) discharge firearms or kinetic impact projectiles
indiscriminately into a crowd;
(v) use chemical agents or irritants for crowd
control, including pepper spray and tear gas, prior to
issuing an order to disperse in a sufficient manner to
allow for the order to be heard and repeated if necessary,
followed by sufficient time and space to allow compliance
with the order unless providing such time and space would
unduly place an officer or another person at risk of death
or great bodily harm; or
(vi) use chemical agents or irritants, including
pepper spray and tear gas, prior to issuing an order in a
sufficient manner to ensure the order is heard, and
repeated if necessary, to allow compliance with the order
unless providing such time and space would unduly place an
officer or another person at risk of death or great bodily
harm.

Sec. 7-9. Use of force to prevent escape.
(a) A peace officer or other person who has an arrested
person in his custody is justified in the use of such force,
except deadly force, to prevent the escape of the arrested
person from custody as he would be justified in using if he
were arresting such person.
(b) A guard or other peace officer is justified in the use
of force, including force likely to cause death or great
bodily harm, which he reasonably believes to be necessary to
prevent the escape from a penal institution of a person whom
the officer reasonably believes to be lawfully detained in
such institution under sentence for an offense or awaiting
trial or commitment for an offense.
(c) Deadly force shall not be used to prevent escape under
this Section unless, based on the totality of the
circumstances, deadly force is necessary to prevent death or
great bodily harm to himself or such other person.

(725 ILCS 5/103-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 103-5)
Sec. 103-5. Speedy trial.)
(a) Every person in custody in this State for an alleged
offense shall be tried by the court having jurisdiction within
120 days from the date he or she was taken into custody unless
delay is occasioned by the defendant, by an examination for
fitness ordered pursuant to Section 104-13 of this Act, by a
fitness hearing, by an adjudication of unfitness to stand

HB4697 - 284 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
trial, by a continuance allowed pursuant to Section 114-4 of
this Act after a court's determination of the defendant's
physical incapacity for trial, or by an interlocutory appeal.
Delay shall be considered to be agreed to by the defendant
unless he or she objects to the delay by making a written
demand for trial or an oral demand for trial on the record. The
provisions of this subsection (a) do not apply to a person on
bail pretrial release or recognizance for an offense but who
is in custody for a violation of his or her parole, aftercare
release, or mandatory supervised release for another offense.
The 120-day term must be one continuous period of
incarceration. In computing the 120-day term, separate periods
of incarceration may not be combined. If a defendant is taken
into custody a second (or subsequent) time for the same
offense, the term will begin again at day zero.
(b) Every person on bail pretrial release or recognizance
shall be tried by the court having jurisdiction within 160
days from the date defendant demands trial unless delay is
occasioned by the defendant, by an examination for fitness
ordered pursuant to Section 104-13 of this Act, by a fitness
hearing, by an adjudication of unfitness to stand trial, by a
continuance allowed pursuant to Section 114-4 of this Act
after a court's determination of the defendant's physical
incapacity for trial, or by an interlocutory appeal. The
defendant's failure to appear for any court date set by the
court operates to waive the defendant's demand for trial made

HB4697 - 285 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
under this subsection.
For purposes of computing the 160 day period under this
subsection (b), every person who was in custody for an alleged
offense and demanded trial and is subsequently released on
bail pretrial release or recognizance and demands trial, shall
be given credit for time spent in custody following the making
of the demand while in custody. Any demand for trial made under
this subsection (b) shall be in writing; and in the case of a
defendant not in custody, the demand for trial shall include
the date of any prior demand made under this provision while
the defendant was in custody.
(c) If the court determines that the State has exercised
without success due diligence to obtain evidence material to
the case and that there are reasonable grounds to believe that
such evidence may be obtained at a later day the court may
continue the cause on application of the State for not more
than an additional 60 days. If the court determines that the
State has exercised without success due diligence to obtain
results of DNA testing that is material to the case and that
there are reasonable grounds to believe that such results may
be obtained at a later day, the court may continue the cause on
application of the State for not more than an additional 120
days.
(d) Every person not tried in accordance with subsections
(a), (b) and (c) of this Section shall be discharged from
custody or released from the obligations of the person's bail

HB4697 - 286 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
his pretrial release or recognizance.
(e) If a person is simultaneously in custody upon more
than one charge pending against him in the same county, or
simultaneously demands trial upon more than one charge pending
against him in the same county, he shall be tried, or adjudged
guilty after waiver of trial, upon at least one such charge
before expiration relative to any of such pending charges of
the period prescribed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section. Such person shall be tried upon all of the remaining
charges thus pending within 160 days from the date on which
judgment relative to the first charge thus prosecuted is

(a) When the issue of fitness involves the defendant's
mental condition, the court shall order an examination of the
defendant by one or more licensed physicians, clinical
psychologists, or psychiatrists chosen by the court. No
physician, clinical psychologist or psychiatrist employed by
the Department of Human Services shall be ordered to perform,

(a) If the defendant is eligible to be or has been released

HB4697 - 291 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
on bail pretrial release or on his own recognizance, the court
shall select the least physically restrictive form of
treatment therapeutically appropriate and consistent with the
treatment plan. The placement may be ordered either on an
inpatient or an outpatient basis.
(b) If the defendant's disability is mental, the court may
order him placed for secure treatment in the custody of the
Department of Human Services, or the court may order him
placed in the custody of any other appropriate public or
private mental health facility or treatment program which has
agreed to provide treatment to the defendant. If the most
serious charge faced by the defendant is a misdemeanor, the
court shall order outpatient treatment, unless the court finds
good cause on the record to order inpatient treatment. If the
court orders the defendant to inpatient treatment in the
custody of the Department of Human Services, the Department
shall evaluate the defendant to determine the most appropriate
secure facility to receive the defendant and, within 20 days
of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of the
court's placement order, notify the court of the designated
facility to receive the defendant. The Department shall admit
the defendant to a secure facility within 60 days of the
transmittal of the court's placement order, unless the
Department can demonstrate good faith efforts at placement and
a lack of bed and placement availability. If placement cannot
be made within 60 days of the transmittal of the court's

HB4697 - 292 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
placement order and the Department has demonstrated good faith
efforts at placement and a lack of bed and placement
availability, the Department shall provide an update to the
ordering court every 30 days until the defendant is placed.
Once bed and placement availability is determined, the
Department shall notify the sheriff who shall promptly
transport the defendant to the designated facility. If the
defendant is placed in the custody of the Department of Human
Services, the defendant shall be placed in a secure setting.
During the period of time required to determine bed and
placement availability at the designated facility, the
defendant shall remain in jail. If during the course of
evaluating the defendant for placement, the Department of
Human Services determines that the defendant is currently fit
to stand trial, it shall immediately notify the court and
shall submit a written report within 7 days. In that
circumstance the placement shall be held pending a court
hearing on the Department's report. Otherwise, upon completion
of the placement process, including identifying bed and
placement availability, the sheriff shall be notified and
shall transport the defendant to the designated facility. If,
within 60 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit
court of the court's placement order, the Department fails to
provide the sheriff with notice of bed and placement
availability at the designated facility, the sheriff shall
contact the Department to inquire about when a placement will

HB4697 - 293 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
become available at the designated facility as well as bed and
placement availability at other secure facilities. The
Department shall respond to the sheriff within 2 business days
of the notice and inquiry by the sheriff seeking the transfer
and the Department shall provide the sheriff with the status
of the evaluation, information on bed and placement
availability, and an estimated date of admission for the
defendant and any changes to that estimated date of admission.
If the Department notifies the sheriff during the 2 business
day period of a facility operated by the Department with
placement availability, the sheriff shall promptly transport
the defendant to that facility. The placement may be ordered
either on an inpatient or an outpatient basis.
(c) If the defendant's disability is physical, the court
may order him placed under the supervision of the Department
of Human Services which shall place and maintain the defendant
in a suitable treatment facility or program, or the court may
order him placed in an appropriate public or private facility
or treatment program which has agreed to provide treatment to
the defendant. The placement may be ordered either on an
inpatient or an outpatient basis.
(d) The clerk of the circuit court shall within 5 days of
the entry of the order transmit to the Department, agency or
institution, if any, to which the defendant is remanded for
treatment, the following:
(1) a certified copy of the order to undergo

HB4697 - 294 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
treatment. Accompanying the certified copy of the order to
undergo treatment shall be the complete copy of any report
prepared under Section 104-15 of this Code or other report
prepared by a forensic examiner for the court;
(2) the county and municipality in which the offense
was committed;
(3) the county and municipality in which the arrest
took place;
(4) a copy of the arrest report, criminal charges,
arrest record; and
(5) all additional matters which the Court directs the
clerk to transmit.
(e) Within 30 days of admission to the designated
facility, the person supervising the defendant's treatment
shall file with the court, the State, and the defense a report
assessing the facility's or program's capacity to provide
appropriate treatment for the defendant and indicating his
opinion as to the probability of the defendant's attaining
fitness within a period of time from the date of the finding of
unfitness. For a defendant charged with a felony, the period
of time shall be one year. For a defendant charged with a
misdemeanor, the period of time shall be no longer than the
sentence if convicted of the most serious offense. If the
report indicates that there is a substantial probability that
the defendant will attain fitness within the time period, the
treatment supervisor shall also file a treatment plan which

HB4697 - 295 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
shall include:
(1) A diagnosis of the defendant's disability;
(2) A description of treatment goals with respect to
rendering the defendant fit, a specification of the
proposed treatment modalities, and an estimated timetable
for attainment of the goals;
(3) An identification of the person in charge of
supervising the defendant's treatment.

court shall grant any reasonable request for a continuance of
the proceedings to allow contact with the defendant's

HB4697 - 308 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
consulate. Any delay caused by the granting of the request by a
defendant shall temporarily suspend for the time of the delay
the period within which a person shall be tried as prescribed
by subsections (a), (b), or (e) of Section 103-5 of this Code
and on the day of the expiration of delay the period shall
continue at the point at which it was suspended.
(f) At the hearing at which conditions of pretrial release
are determined, the person charged shall be present in person
rather than by two-way audio-video communication system unless
the accused waives the right to be present physically in
court, the court determines that the physical health and
safety of any person necessary to the proceedings would be
endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of the
circuit orders use of that system due to operational
challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such
operational challenges must be documented and approved by the
chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the
challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented and
approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts
every 6 months.
(g) Defense counsel shall be given adequate opportunity to
confer with the defendant prior to any hearing in which
conditions of release or the detention of the defendant is to
be considered, with a physical accommodation made to
facilitate attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel
needs to confer or consult with the defendant during any

HB4697 - 309 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
hearing conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication
system, such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be
undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.

(a) Any person arrested in a county other than the one in
which a warrant for his arrest was issued shall be taken
without unnecessary delay before the nearest and most
accessible judge in the county where the arrest was made or, if
no additional delay is created, before the nearest and most
accessible judge in the county from which the warrant was
issued. He shall be admitted to bail in the amount specified in
the warrant or, for offenses other than felonies, in an amount
as set by the judge, and such bail shall be conditioned on his

the same person as named in the warrant.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), any
person arrested in a county other than the one in which a
warrant for his arrest was issued, may waive the right to be
taken before a judge in the county where the arrest was made.
If a person so arrested waives such right, the arresting
agency shall surrender such person to a law enforcement agency

HB4697 - 310 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
of the county that issued the warrant without unnecessary
delay. The provisions of Section 109-1 shall then apply to the
person so arrested.
(c) If a person is taken before a judge in any county and a
warrant for arrest issued by another Illinois county exists
for that person, the court in the arresting county shall hold
for that person a detention hearing under Section 110-6.1, or
other hearing under Section 110-5 or Section 110-6.
(d) After the court in the arresting county has determined
whether the person shall be released or detained on the
arresting offense, the court shall then order the sheriff to
immediately contact the sheriff in any county where any
warrant is outstanding and notify them of the arrest of the
individual.
(e) If a person has a warrant in another county for an
offense, then, no later than 5 calendar days after the end of
any detention issued on the charge in the arresting county,
the county where the warrant is outstanding shall do one of the
following:
(1) transport the person to the county where the
warrant was issued for a hearing under Section 110-6 or
110-6.1 in the matter for which the warrant was issued; or
(2) quash the warrant and order the person released on
the case for which the warrant was issued only when the
county that issued the warrant fails to transport the
defendant in the timeline as proscribed.

HB4697 - 311 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(f) If the issuing county fails to take any action under
subsection (e) within 5 calendar days, the defendant shall be
released from custody on the warrant, and the circuit judge or
associate circuit judge in the county of arrest shall set
conditions of release under Section 110-5 and shall admit the
defendant to pretrial release for his or her appearance before
the court named in the warrant. Upon releasing the defendant,
the circuit judge or associate circuit judge shall certify
such a fact on the warrant and deliver the warrant and the
acknowledgment by the defendant of his or her receiving the
conditions of pretrial release to the officer having charge of
the defendant from arrest and without delay deliver such
warrant and such acknowledgment by the defendant of his or her
receiving the conditions to the court before which the

of a two-way audio-visual communication system if the accused
waives the right to be physically present in court, the court
determines that the physical health and safety of any person
necessary to the proceedings would be endangered by appearing
in court, or the chief judge of the circuit orders use of that
system due to operational challenges in conducting the hearing
in person. Such operational challenges must be documented and
approved by the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to

Illinois Courts every 6 months.
(h) If more than 2 Illinois county warrants exist, the
judge in the county of arrest shall order that the process
described in subsections (d) through (f) occur in each county
in whatever order the judge finds most appropriate. Each judge
in each subsequent county shall then follow the rules in this
Section.
(i) This Section applies only to warrants issued by
Illinois state, county, or municipal courts.

agency of a person arrested for any offense, or when an
arresting agency is contacted by or contacts an out-of-state
issuing agency, the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act shall
govern.

it appears there is probable cause to believe an offense has
been committed by the defendant, as provided in Section
109-3.1 of this Code, if the offense is a felony.

defendant is making a statement or testifying the judge may
and on the request of the defendant or State shall exclude all
other witnesses. He may also cause the witnesses to be kept
separate and to be prevented from communicating with each
other until all are examined.
(d) If the defendant is held to answer the judge may
require any material witness for the State or defendant to
enter into a written undertaking to appear at the trial, and
may provide for the forfeiture of a sum certain in the event
the witness does not appear at the trial. Any witness who
refuses to execute a recognizance may be committed by the
judge to the custody of the sheriff until trial or further
order of the court having jurisdiction of the cause. Any
witness who executes a recognizance and fails to comply with
its terms shall, in addition to any forfeiture provided in the
recognizance, be subject to the penalty provided in Section

ARTICLE 110. BAIL PRETRIAL RELEASE
(725 ILCS 5/110-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-1)
Sec. 110-1. Definitions. As used in this Article:
(a) (Blank).
"Security" is that which is required to be pledged to

HB4697 - 316 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
insure the payment of bail.
(b) "Sureties" encompasses the monetary and nonmonetary
requirements set by the court as conditions for release either
before or after conviction. "Surety" is one who executes a
bail bond and binds himself to pay the bail if the person in
custody fails to comply with all conditions of the bail bond.
(c) The phrase "for which a sentence of imprisonment,
without conditional and revocable release, shall be imposed by
law as a consequence of conviction" means an offense for which
a sentence of imprisonment in the Department of Corrections,
without probation, periodic imprisonment or conditional
discharge, is required by law upon conviction.
"Real and present threat to the physical safety of any
person or persons", as used in this Article, includes a threat
to the community, person, persons or class of persons.
(d)(Blank).
(e) "Protective order" means any order of protection
issued under Section 112A-14 of this Code or the Illinois
Domestic Violence Act of 1986, a stalking no contact order
issued under Section 80 of the Stalking No Contact Order Act,
or a civil no contact order issued under Section 213 of the
Civil No Contact Order Act.
(f) "Willful flight" means intentional conduct with a
purpose to thwart the judicial process to avoid prosecution.
Isolated instances of nonappearance in court alone are not
evidence of the risk of willful flight. Reoccurrence and

HB4697 - 317 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
patterns of intentional conduct to evade prosecution, along
with any affirmative steps to communicate or remedy any such
missed court date, may be considered as factors in assessing
future intent to evade prosecution.

(725 ILCS 5/110-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-2)
Sec. 110-2. Release on own recognizance Pretrial release.
When from all the circumstances the court is of the opinion
that the defendant will appear as required either before or
after conviction and the defendant will not pose a danger to
any person or the community and that the defendant will comply
with all conditions of bond, which shall include the
defendant's current address with a written admonishment to the
defendant that he or she must comply with the provisions of
Section 110-12 of this Code regarding any change in his or her
address, the defendant may be released on his or her own
recognizance. The defendant's address shall at all times
remain a matter of public record with the clerk of the court. A
failure to appear as required by such recognizance shall
constitute an offense subject to the penalty provided in
Section 32-10 of the Criminal Code of 2012 for violation of the
bail bond, and any obligated sum fixed in the recognizance
shall be forfeited and collected in accordance with subsection
(g) of Section 110-7.1 of this Code.

HB4697 - 318 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
This Section shall be liberally construed to effectuate
the purpose of relying upon contempt of court proceedings or
criminal sanctions instead of financial loss to assure the
appearance of the defendant, and that the defendant will not
pose a danger to any person or the community and that the
defendant will comply with all conditions of bond. Monetary
bail should be set only when it is determined that no other
conditions of release will reasonably assure the defendant's
appearance in court, that the defendant does not present a
danger to any person or the community and that the defendant
will comply with all conditions of bond.
The State may appeal any order permitting release by
personal recognizance.
(a) All persons charged with an offense shall be eligible
for pretrial release before conviction. It is presumed that a
defendant is entitled to release on personal recognizance on
the condition that the defendant attend all required court
proceedings and the defendant does not commit any criminal
offense, and complies with all terms of pretrial release,
including, but not limited to, orders of protection under both
Section 112A-4 of this Code and Section 214 of the Illinois
Domestic Violence Act of 1986, all civil no contact orders,
and all stalking no contact orders. Pretrial release may be
denied only if a person is charged with an offense listed in
Section 110-6.1 and after the court has held a hearing under
Section 110-6.1, and in a manner consistent with subsections

HB4697 - 319 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(b), (c), and (d) of this Section.
(b) At all pretrial hearings, the prosecution shall have
the burden to prove by clear and convincing evidence that any
condition of release is necessary.
(c) When it is alleged that pretrial release should be
denied to a person upon the grounds that the person presents a
real and present threat to the safety of any person or persons
or the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
the case, the burden of proof of such allegations shall be upon
the State.
(d) When it is alleged that pretrial release should be
denied to a person charged with stalking or aggravated
stalking upon the grounds set forth in Section 110-6.3, the
burden of proof of those allegations shall be upon the State.
(e) This Section shall be liberally construed to
effectuate the purpose of relying on pretrial release by
nonmonetary means to reasonably ensure an eligible person's
appearance in court, the protection of the safety of any other
person or the community, that the person will not attempt or
obstruct the criminal justice process, and the person's
compliance with all conditions of release, while authorizing
the court, upon motion of a prosecutor, to order pretrial
detention of the person under Section 110-6.1 when it finds
clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination
of conditions can reasonably ensure the effectuation of these
goals.

Sec. 110-3.1. Issuance of warrant.
(a) Upon failure to comply with any condition of a bail
bond or recognizance the court having jurisdiction at the time
of such failure may, in addition to any other action provided
by law, issue a warrant for the arrest of the person at liberty
on bail or his own recognizance. The contents of such a warrant
shall be the same as required for an arrest warrant issued upon
complaint. When a defendant is at liberty on bail or his own
recognizance on a felony charge and fails to appear in court as
directed, the court shall issue a warrant for the arrest of
such person. Such warrant shall be noted with a directive to
peace officers to arrest the person and hold such person
without bail and to deliver such person before the court for
further proceedings.
(b) A defendant who is arrested or surrenders within 30
days of the issuance of such warrant shall not be bailable in
the case in question unless he shows by the preponderance of
the evidence that his failure to appear was not intentional.

of release.
(a) In determining the amount of monetary bail or

HB4697 - 321 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
conditions of release, if any, which will reasonably assure
the appearance of a defendant as required or the safety of any
other person or the community and the likelihood of compliance
by the defendant with all the conditions of bail, the court
shall, on the basis of available information, take into
account such matters as the nature and circumstances of the
offense charged, whether the evidence shows that as part of
the offense there was a use of violence or threatened use of
violence, whether the offense involved corruption of public
officials or employees, whether there was physical harm or
threats of physical harm to any public official, public
employee, judge, prosecutor, juror or witness, senior citizen,
child, or person with a disability, whether evidence shows
that during the offense or during the arrest the defendant
possessed or used a firearm, machine gun, explosive or metal
piercing ammunition or explosive bomb device or any military
or paramilitary armament, whether the evidence shows that the
offense committed was related to or in furtherance of the
criminal activities of an organized gang or was motivated by
the defendant's membership in or allegiance to an organized
gang, the condition of the victim, any written statement
submitted by the victim or proffer or representation by the
State regarding the impact which the alleged criminal conduct
has had on the victim and the victim's concern, if any, with
further contact with the defendant if released on bail,
whether the offense was based on racial, religious, sexual

HB4697 - 322 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
orientation or ethnic hatred, the likelihood of the filing of
a greater charge, the likelihood of conviction, the sentence
applicable upon conviction, the weight of the evidence against
such defendant, whether there exists motivation or ability to
flee, whether there is any verification as to prior residence,
education, or family ties in the local jurisdiction, in
another county, state or foreign country, the defendant's
employment, financial resources, character and mental
condition, past conduct, prior use of alias names or dates of
birth, and length of residence in the community, the consent
of the defendant to periodic drug testing in accordance with
Section 110-6.5-1, whether a foreign national defendant is
lawfully admitted in the United States of America, whether the
government of the foreign national maintains an extradition
treaty with the United States by which the foreign government
will extradite to the United States its national for a trial
for a crime allegedly committed in the United States, whether
the defendant is currently subject to deportation or exclusion
under the immigration laws of the United States, whether the
defendant, although a United States citizen, is considered
under the law of any foreign state a national of that state for
the purposes of extradition or non-extradition to the United
States, the amount of unrecovered proceeds lost as a result of
the alleged offense, the source of bail funds tendered or
sought to be tendered for bail, whether from the totality of
the court's consideration, the loss of funds posted or sought

HB4697 - 323 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
to be posted for bail will not deter the defendant from flight,
whether the evidence shows that the defendant is engaged in
significant possession, manufacture, or delivery of a
controlled substance or cannabis, either individually or in
consort with others, whether at the time of the offense
charged he or she was on bond or pre-trial release pending
trial, probation, periodic imprisonment or conditional
discharge pursuant to this Code or the comparable Code of any
other state or federal jurisdiction, whether the defendant is
on bond or pre-trial release pending the imposition or
execution of sentence or appeal of sentence for any offense
under the laws of Illinois or any other state or federal
jurisdiction, whether the defendant is under parole, aftercare
release, mandatory supervised release, or work release from
the Illinois Department of Corrections or Illinois Department
of Juvenile Justice or any penal institution or corrections
department of any state or federal jurisdiction, the
defendant's record of convictions, whether the defendant has
been convicted of a misdemeanor or ordinance offense in
Illinois or similar offense in other state or federal
jurisdiction within the 10 years preceding the current charge
or convicted of a felony in Illinois, whether the defendant
was convicted of an offense in another state or federal
jurisdiction that would be a felony if committed in Illinois
within the 20 years preceding the current charge or has been
convicted of such felony and released from the penitentiary

HB4697 - 324 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
within 20 years preceding the current charge if a penitentiary
sentence was imposed in Illinois or other state or federal
jurisdiction, the defendant's records of juvenile adjudication
of delinquency in any jurisdiction, any record of appearance
or failure to appear by the defendant at court proceedings,
whether there was flight to avoid arrest or prosecution,
whether the defendant escaped or attempted to escape to avoid
arrest, whether the defendant refused to identify himself or
herself, or whether there was a refusal by the defendant to be
fingerprinted as required by law. Information used by the
court in its findings or stated in or offered in connection
with this Section may be by way of proffer based upon reliable
information offered by the State or defendant. All evidence
shall be admissible if it is relevant and reliable regardless
of whether it would be admissible under the rules of evidence
applicable at criminal trials. If the State presents evidence
that the offense committed by the defendant was related to or
in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang
or was motivated by the defendant's membership in or
allegiance to an organized gang, and if the court determines
that the evidence may be substantiated, the court shall
prohibit the defendant from associating with other members of
the organized gang as a condition of bail or release. For the
purposes of this Section, "organized gang" has the meaning
ascribed to it in Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act.

HB4697 - 325 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(a-5) There shall be a presumption that any conditions of
release imposed shall be non-monetary in nature and the court
shall impose the least restrictive conditions or combination
of conditions necessary to reasonably assure the appearance of
the defendant for further court proceedings and protect the
integrity of the judicial proceedings from a specific threat
to a witness or participant. Conditions of release may
include, but not be limited to, electronic home monitoring,
curfews, drug counseling, stay-away orders, and in-person
reporting. The court shall consider the defendant's
socio-economic circumstance when setting conditions of release
or imposing monetary bail.
(b) The amount of bail shall be:
(1) Sufficient to assure compliance with the
conditions set forth in the bail bond, which shall include
the defendant's current address with a written
admonishment to the defendant that he or she must comply
with the provisions of Section 110-12 regarding any change
in his or her address. The defendant's address shall at
all times remain a matter of public record with the clerk
of the court.
(2) Not oppressive.
(3) Considerate of the financial ability of the
accused.
(4) When a person is charged with a drug related
offense involving possession or delivery of cannabis or

HB4697 - 326 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
possession or delivery of a controlled substance as
defined in the Cannabis Control Act, the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, or the Methamphetamine Control
and Community Protection Act, the full street value of the
drugs seized shall be considered. "Street value" shall be
determined by the court on the basis of a proffer by the
State based upon reliable information of a law enforcement
official contained in a written report as to the amount
seized and such proffer may be used by the court as to the
current street value of the smallest unit of the drug
seized.
(b-5) Upon the filing of a written request demonstrating
reasonable cause, the State's Attorney may request a source of
bail hearing either before or after the posting of any funds.
If the hearing is granted, before the posting of any bail, the
accused must file a written notice requesting that the court
conduct a source of bail hearing. The notice must be
accompanied by justifying affidavits stating the legitimate
and lawful source of funds for bail. At the hearing, the court
shall inquire into any matters stated in any justifying
affidavits, and may also inquire into matters appropriate to
the determination which shall include, but are not limited to,
the following:
(1) the background, character, reputation, and
relationship to the accused of any surety; and
(2) the source of any money or property deposited by

HB4697 - 327 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
any surety, and whether any such money or property
constitutes the fruits of criminal or unlawful conduct;
and
(3) the source of any money posted as cash bail, and
whether any such money constitutes the fruits of criminal
or unlawful conduct; and
(4) the background, character, reputation, and
relationship to the accused of the person posting cash
bail.
Upon setting the hearing, the court shall examine, under
oath, any persons who may possess material information.
The State's Attorney has a right to attend the hearing, to
call witnesses and to examine any witness in the proceeding.
The court shall, upon request of the State's Attorney,
continue the proceedings for a reasonable period to allow the
State's Attorney to investigate the matter raised in any
testimony or affidavit. If the hearing is granted after the
accused has posted bail, the court shall conduct a hearing
consistent with this subsection (b-5). At the conclusion of
the hearing, the court must issue an order either approving or
disapproving the bail.
(c) When a person is charged with an offense punishable by
fine only the amount of the bail shall not exceed double the
amount of the maximum penalty.
(d) When a person has been convicted of an offense and only
a fine has been imposed the amount of the bail shall not exceed

HB4697 - 328 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
double the amount of the fine.
(e) The State may appeal any order granting bail or
setting a given amount for bail.
(f) When a person is charged with a violation of an order
of protection under Section 12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal

charged with domestic battery, aggravated domestic battery,
kidnapping, aggravated kidnaping, unlawful restraint,
aggravated unlawful restraint, stalking, aggravated stalking,
cyberstalking, harassment by telephone, harassment through
electronic communications, or an attempt to commit first
degree murder committed against an intimate partner regardless
whether an order of protection has been issued against the
person,
(1) whether the alleged incident involved harassment
or abuse, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence Act
of 1986;
(2) whether the person has a history of domestic
violence, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence
Act, or a history of other criminal acts;
(3) based on the mental health of the person;
(4) whether the person has a history of violating the
orders of any court or governmental entity;
(5) whether the person has been, or is, potentially a
threat to any other person;
(6) whether the person has access to deadly weapons or

HB4697 - 329 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
a history of using deadly weapons;
(7) whether the person has a history of abusing
alcohol or any controlled substance;
(8) based on the severity of the alleged incident that
is the basis of the alleged offense, including, but not
limited to, the duration of the current incident, and
whether the alleged incident involved the use of a weapon,
physical injury, sexual assault, strangulation, abuse
during the alleged victim's pregnancy, abuse of pets, or
forcible entry to gain access to the alleged victim;
(9) whether a separation of the person from the
alleged victim or a termination of the relationship
between the person and the alleged victim has recently
occurred or is pending;
(10) whether the person has exhibited obsessive or
controlling behaviors toward the alleged victim,
including, but not limited to, stalking, surveillance, or
isolation of the alleged victim or victim's family member
or members;
(11) whether the person has expressed suicidal or
homicidal ideations;
(12) based on any information contained in the
complaint and any police reports, affidavits, or other
documents accompanying the complaint;
the court may, in its discretion, order the respondent to
undergo a risk assessment evaluation using a recognized,

HB4697 - 330 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
evidence-based instrument conducted by an Illinois Department
of Human Services approved partner abuse intervention program
provider, pretrial service, probation, or parole agency. These
agencies shall have access to summaries of the defendant's
criminal history, which shall not include victim interviews or
information, for the risk evaluation. Based on the information
collected from the 12 points to be considered at a bail hearing
under this subsection (f), the results of any risk evaluation
conducted and the other circumstances of the violation, the
court may order that the person, as a condition of bail, be
placed under electronic surveillance as provided in Section
5-8A-7 of the Unified Code of Corrections. Upon making a
determination whether or not to order the respondent to
undergo a risk assessment evaluation or to be placed under
electronic surveillance and risk assessment, the court shall
document in the record the court's reasons for making those
determinations. The cost of the electronic surveillance and
risk assessment shall be paid by, or on behalf, of the
defendant. As used in this subsection (f), "intimate partner"
means a spouse or a current or former partner in a cohabitation
or dating relationship.
(a) In determining which conditions of pretrial release,
if any, will reasonably ensure the appearance of a defendant
as required or the safety of any other person or the community
and the likelihood of compliance by the defendant with all the
conditions of pretrial release, the court shall, on the basis

HB4697 - 331 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
of available information, take into account such matters as:
(1) the nature and circumstances of the offense
charged;
(2) the weight of the evidence against the defendant,
except that the court may consider the admissibility of
any evidence sought to be excluded;
(3) the history and characteristics of the defendant,

concerning appearance at court proceedings; and
(B) whether, at the time of the current offense or
arrest, the defendant was on probation, parole, or on
other release pending trial, sentencing, appeal, or
completion of sentence for an offense under federal
law, or the law of this or any other state;
(4) the nature and seriousness of the real and present
threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
case, that would be posed by the defendant's release, if
applicable, as required under paragraph (7.5) of Section 4
of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act;
(5) the nature and seriousness of the risk of

HB4697 - 332 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
obstructing or attempting to obstruct the criminal justice
process that would be posed by the defendant's release, if
applicable;
(6) when a person is charged with a violation of a
protective order, domestic battery, aggravated domestic
battery, kidnapping, aggravated kidnaping, unlawful
restraint, aggravated unlawful restraint, cyberstalking,
harassment by telephone, harassment through electronic
communications, or an attempt to commit first degree
murder committed against a spouse or a current or former
partner in a cohabitation or dating relationship,
regardless of whether an order of protection has been
issued against the person, the court may consider the
following additional factors:
(A) whether the alleged incident involved
harassment or abuse, as defined in the Illinois
Domestic Violence Act of 1986;
(B) whether the person has a history of domestic
violence, as defined in the Illinois Domestic Violence
Act of 1986, or a history of other criminal acts;
(C) the mental health of the person;

the basis of the alleged offense, including, but not
limited to, the duration of the current incident, and
whether the alleged incident involved the use of a
weapon, physical injury, sexual assault,
strangulation, abuse during the alleged victim's
pregnancy, abuse of pets, or forcible entry to gain
access to the alleged victim;
(I) whether a separation of the person from the
victim of abuse or a termination of the relationship
between the person and the victim of abuse has
recently occurred or is pending;
(J) whether the person has exhibited obsessive or
controlling behaviors toward the victim of abuse,
including, but not limited to, stalking, surveillance,
or isolation of the victim of abuse or the victim's
family member or members;
(K) whether the person has expressed suicidal or
homicidal ideations; and

HB4697 - 334 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(7) in cases of stalking or aggravated stalking under
Section 12-7.3 or 12-7.4 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the
court may consider the factors listed in paragraph (6) and
the following additional factors:
(A) any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
behavior, or lack of that behavior; the evidence may
include testimony or documents received in juvenile
proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil

reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive

HB4697 - 335 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
behavior, or lack of that behavior.
(b) The court may use a regularly validated risk
assessment tool to aid its determination of appropriate
conditions of release as provided under Section 110-6.4. If a
risk assessment tool is used, the defendant's counsel shall be
provided with the information and scoring system of the risk
assessment tool used to arrive at the determination. The
defendant retains the right to challenge the validity of a
risk assessment tool used by the court and to present evidence
relevant to the defendant's challenge.
(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.

HB4697 - 336 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(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
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.
(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

HB4697 - 337 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
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
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

HB4697 - 338 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
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
harm. If the court finds that there are less restrictive
conditions of release, the court shall order that the
condition be removed. This subsection takes effect January 1,
2022.
(j) Crime Victims shall be given notice by the State's
Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1)
of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims
and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their opportunity
at this hearing to obtain a protective order.
(k) The State and defendants may appeal court orders
imposing conditions of pretrial release.

Sec. 110-5.2. Bail Pretrial release; 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

HB4697 - 339 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
offense on which the charge is based alleviate a real and
present threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
case, or prevent the defendant's willful flight.
(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 the
pregnant pretrial detainee is charged with an offense for
which pretrial release may be denied under Section
110-6.1; and
(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 after a hearing under Section 110-6.1 that
considers the circumstances of the pregnancy, the court
determines that continued detention is the only way to
prevent a real and present threat to the safety of any
person or persons or the community, based on the specific
articulable facts of the case, or prevent the defendant's
willful flight.

HB4697 - 340 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(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. Electronic Monitoring
may be ordered by the court only 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 harm. All pregnant people or those
who have given birth within 6 weeks shall be granted ample
movement to attend doctor's appointments and for emergencies
related to the health of the pregnancy, infant, or postpartum
person.
(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.

Sec. 110-6. Modification of bail or conditions Revocation
of pretrial release, modification of conditions of pretrial
release, and sanctions for violations of conditions of
pretrial release.
(a) Upon verified application by the State or the

HB4697 - 341 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
defendant or on its own motion the court before which the
proceeding is pending may increase or reduce the amount of
bail or may alter the conditions of the bail bond or grant bail
where it has been previously revoked or denied. If bail has
been previously revoked pursuant to subsection (f) of this
Section or if bail has been denied to the defendant pursuant to
subsection (e) of Section 110-6.1 or subsection (e) of Section
110-6.3-1, the defendant shall be required to present a
verified application setting forth in detail any new facts not
known or obtainable at the time of the previous revocation or
denial of bail proceedings. If the court grants bail where it
has been previously revoked or denied, the court shall state
on the record of the proceedings the findings of facts and
conclusion of law upon which such order is based.
(a-5) In addition to any other available motion or
procedure under this Code, a person in custody solely for a
Category B offense due to an inability to post monetary bail
shall be brought before the court at the next available court
date or 7 calendar days from the date bail was set, whichever
is earlier, for a rehearing on the amount or conditions of bail
or release pending further court proceedings. The court may
reconsider conditions of release for any other person whose
inability to post monetary bail is the sole reason for
continued incarceration, including a person in custody for a
Category A offense or a Category A offense and a Category B
offense. The court may deny the rehearing permitted under this

HB4697 - 342 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
subsection (a-5) if the person has failed to appear as
required before the court and is incarcerated based on a
warrant for failure to appear on the same original criminal
offense.
(b) Violation of the conditions of Section 110-10 of this
Code or any special conditions of bail as ordered by the court
shall constitute grounds for the court to increase the amount
of bail, or otherwise alter the conditions of bail, or, where
the alleged offense committed on bail is a forcible felony in
Illinois or a Class 2 or greater offense under the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, revoke
bail pursuant to the appropriate provisions of subsection (e)
of this Section.
(c) Reasonable notice of such application by the defendant
shall be given to the State.
(d) Reasonable notice of such application by the State
shall be given to the defendant, except as provided in
subsection (e).
(e) Upon verified application by the State stating facts
or circumstances constituting a violation or a threatened
violation of any of the conditions of the bail bond the court
may issue a warrant commanding any peace officer to bring the
defendant without unnecessary delay before the court for a
hearing on the matters set forth in the application. If the
actual court before which the proceeding is pending is absent

HB4697 - 343 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
or otherwise unavailable another court may issue a warrant
pursuant to this Section. When the defendant is charged with a
felony offense and while free on bail is charged with a
subsequent felony offense and is the subject of a proceeding
set forth in Section 109-1 or 109-3 of this Code, upon the
filing of a verified petition by the State alleging a
violation of Section 110-10 (a) (4) of this Code, the court
shall without prior notice to the defendant, grant leave to
file such application and shall order the transfer of the
defendant and the application without unnecessary delay to the
court before which the previous felony matter is pending for a
hearing as provided in subsection (b) or this subsection of
this Section. The defendant shall be held without bond pending
transfer to and a hearing before such court. At the conclusion
of the hearing based on a violation of the conditions of
Section 110-10 of this Code or any special conditions of bail
as ordered by the court the court may enter an order increasing
the amount of bail or alter the conditions of bail as deemed
appropriate.
(f) Where the alleged violation consists of the violation
of one or more felony statutes of any jurisdiction which would
be a forcible felony in Illinois or a Class 2 or greater
offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act and the defendant is on bail for the
alleged commission of a felony, or where the defendant is on

HB4697 - 344 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
bail for a felony domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to
subsection (b) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961
or the Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated domestic battery,
aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated unlawful
restraint or domestic battery in violation of item (1) of
subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961
or the Criminal Code of 2012 against a family or household
member as defined in Section 112A-3 of this Code and the
violation is an offense of domestic battery against the same
victim the court shall, on the motion of the State or its own
motion, revoke bail in accordance with the following
provisions:
(1) The court shall hold the defendant without bail
pending the hearing on the alleged breach; however, if the
defendant is not admitted to bail the hearing shall be
commenced within 10 days from the date the defendant is
taken into custody or the defendant may not be held any
longer without bail, unless delay is occasioned by the
defendant. Where defendant occasions the delay, the
running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and
resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days
remaining in the 10 day period, the court may grant a
period of up to 5 additional days to the State for good
cause shown. The State, however, shall retain the right to
proceed to hearing on the alleged violation at any time,

HB4697 - 345 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
upon reasonable notice to the defendant and the court.
(2) At a hearing on the alleged violation the State
has the burden of going forward and proving the violation
by clear and convincing evidence. The evidence shall be
presented in open court with the opportunity to testify,
to present witnesses in his behalf, and to cross-examine
witnesses if any are called by the State, and
representation by counsel and if the defendant is indigent
to have counsel appointed for him. The rules of evidence
applicable in criminal trials in this State shall not
govern the admissibility of evidence at such hearing.
Information used by the court in its findings or stated in
or offered in connection with hearings for increase or
revocation of bail may be by way of proffer based upon
reliable information offered by the State or defendant.
All evidence shall be admissible if it is relevant and
reliable regardless of whether it would be admissible
under the rules of evidence applicable at criminal trials.
A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence or to
suppress a confession shall not be entertained at such a
hearing. Evidence that proof may have been obtained as a
result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
improper interrogation is not relevant to this hearing.
(3) Upon a finding by the court that the State has
established by clear and convincing evidence that the
defendant has committed a forcible felony or a Class 2 or

HB4697 - 346 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
greater offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances
Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
Control and Community Protection Act while admitted to
bail, or where the defendant is on bail for a felony
domestic battery (enhanced pursuant to subsection (b) of
Section 12-3.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012), aggravated domestic battery,
aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, aggravated
unlawful restraint or domestic battery in violation of
item (1) of subsection (a) of Section 12-3.2 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 against
a family or household member as defined in Section 112A-3
of this Code and the violation is an offense of domestic
battery, against the same victim, the court shall revoke
the bail of the defendant and hold the defendant for trial
without bail. Neither the finding of the court nor any
transcript or other record of the hearing shall be
admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section
115-10.1 of this Code or in a perjury proceeding.
(4) If the bail of any defendant is revoked pursuant
to paragraph (f) (3) of this Section, the defendant may
demand and shall be entitled to be brought to trial on the
offense with respect to which he was formerly released on
bail within 90 days after the date on which his bail was
revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within

HB4697 - 347 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the 90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he
shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the 90
day period, the court shall omit any period of delay
resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the
defendant.
(5) If the defendant either is arrested on a warrant
issued pursuant to this Code or is arrested for an
unrelated offense and it is subsequently discovered that
the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants
issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be
transferred promptly to the court which issued such
warrant. If, however, the defendant appears initially
before a court other than the court which issued such
warrant, the non-issuing court shall not alter the amount
of bail set on such warrant unless the court sets forth on
the record of proceedings the conclusions of law and facts
which are the basis for such altering of another court's
bond. The non-issuing court shall not alter another
court's bail set on a warrant unless the interests of
justice and public safety are served by such action.
(g) The State may appeal any order where the court has
increased or reduced the amount of bail or altered the
conditions of the bail bond or granted bail where it has
previously been revoked.
(a) When a defendant has previously been granted pretrial
release under this Section for a felony or Class A

HB4697 - 348 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
misdemeanor, that pretrial release may be revoked only if the
defendant is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor that
is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial
release after a hearing on the court's own motion or upon the
filing of a verified petition by the State.
When a defendant released pretrial is charged with a
violation of a protective order or was previously convicted of
a violation of a protective order and the subject of the
protective order is the same person as the victim in the
current underlying matter, the State shall file a verified
petition seeking revocation of pretrial release.
Upon the filing of a petition or upon motion of the court
seeking revocation, the court shall order the transfer of the
defendant and the petition or motion to the court before which
the previous felony or Class A misdemeanor is pending. The
defendant may be held in custody pending transfer to and a
hearing before such court. The defendant shall be transferred
to the court before which the previous matter is pending
without unnecessary delay, and the revocation hearing shall
occur within 72 hours of the filing of the State's petition or
the court's motion for revocation.
A hearing at which pretrial release may be revoked must be
conducted in person (and not by way of two-way audio-visual
communication) unless the accused waives the right to be
present physically in court, the court determines that the
physical health and safety of any person necessary to the

HB4697 - 349 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
proceedings would be endangered by appearing in court, or the
chief judge of the circuit orders use of that system due to
operational challenges in conducting the hearing in person.
Such operational challenges must be documented and approved by
the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the
challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented and
approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts
every 6 months.
The court before which the previous felony matter or Class
A misdemeanor is pending may revoke the defendant's pretrial
release after a hearing. During the hearing for revocation,
the defendant shall be represented by counsel and have an
opportunity to be heard regarding the violation and evidence
in mitigation. The court shall consider all relevant
circumstances, including, but not limited to, the nature and
seriousness of the violation or criminal act alleged. The
State shall bear the burden of proving, by clear and
convincing evidence, that no condition or combination of
conditions of release would reasonably ensure the appearance
of the defendant for later hearings or prevent the defendant
from being charged with a subsequent felony or Class A
misdemeanor.
In lieu of revocation, the court may release the defendant
pre-trial, with or without modification of conditions of
pretrial release.
If the case that caused the revocation is dismissed, the

HB4697 - 350 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
defendant is found not guilty in the case causing the
revocation, or the defendant completes a lawfully imposed
sentence on the case causing the revocation, the court shall,
without unnecessary delay, hold a hearing on conditions of
pretrial release pursuant to Section 110-5 and release the
defendant with or without modification of conditions of
pretrial release.
Both the State and the defendant may appeal an order
revoking pretrial release or denying a petition for revocation
of release.
(b) If a defendant previously has been granted pretrial
release under this Section for a Class B or Class C misdemeanor
offense, a petty or business offense, or an ordinance
violation and if the defendant is subsequently charged with a
felony that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's
pretrial release or a Class A misdemeanor offense that is
alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial
release, such pretrial release may not be revoked, but the
court may impose sanctions under subsection (c).
(c) The court shall follow the procedures set forth in
Section 110-3 to ensure the defendant's appearance in court if
the defendant:
(1) fails to appear in court as required by the
defendant's conditions of release;
(2) is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor
offense that is alleged to have occurred during the

HB4697 - 351 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
defendant's pretrial release after having been previously
granted pretrial release for a Class B or Class C
misdemeanor, a petty or business offense, or an ordinance
violation that is alleged to have occurred during the
defendant's pretrial release;
(3) is charged with a Class B or C misdemeanor
offense, petty or business offense, or ordinance violation
that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's
pretrial release; or
(4) violates any other condition of pretrial release
set by the court.
In response to a violation described in this subsection,
the court may issue a warrant specifying that the defendant
must appear before the court for a hearing for sanctions and
may not be released by law enforcement before that appearance.
(d) When a defendant appears in court pursuant to a
summons or warrant issued in accordance with Section 110-3 or
after being arrested for an offense that is alleged to have
occurred during the defendant's pretrial release, the State
may file a verified petition requesting a hearing for
sanctions.
(e) During the hearing for sanctions, the defendant shall
be represented by counsel and have an opportunity to be heard
regarding the violation and evidence in mitigation. The State
shall bear the burden of proving by clear and convincing
evidence that:

HB4697 - 352 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(1) the defendant committed an act that violated a
term of the defendant's pretrial release;
(2) the defendant had actual knowledge that the
defendant's action would violate a court order;
(3) the violation of the court order was willful; and
(4) the violation was not caused by a lack of access to
financial monetary resources.
(f) Sanctions for violations of pretrial release may
include:
(1) a verbal or written admonishment from the court;
(2) imprisonment in the county jail for a period not
exceeding 30 days;
(3) (Blank); or
(4) a modification of the defendant's pretrial
conditions.
(g) The court may, at any time, after motion by either
party or on its own motion, remove previously set conditions
of pretrial release, subject to the provisions in this
subsection. The court may only add or increase conditions of
pretrial release at a hearing under this Section.
The court shall not remove a previously set condition of
pretrial release regulating contact with a victim or witness
in the case, unless the subject of the condition has been given
notice of the hearing as required in paragraph (1) of
subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims
and Witnesses Act. If the subject of the condition of release

HB4697 - 353 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
is not present, the court shall follow the procedures of
paragraph (10) of subsection (c-1) of the Rights of Crime
Victims and Witnesses Act.
(h) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's
Attorney's office of all hearings under this Section as
required in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of
the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act and shall be
informed of their opportunity at these hearings to obtain a
protective order.
(i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit
the State's ability to file a verified petition seeking denial
of pretrial release under subsection (a) of Section 110-6.1 or
subdivision (d)(2) of Section 110-6.1.
(j) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant before
the court, the judge must find that continued detention under
this Section is necessary to reasonably ensure the appearance
of the defendant for later hearings or to prevent the
defendant from being charged with a subsequent felony or Class
A misdemeanor.

(725 ILCS 5/110-6.1
Sec. 110-6.1. Denial of bail in non-probationable felony
offenses pretrial release.
(a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a

HB4697 - 354 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
defendant who is charged with a felony offense for which a
sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
imprisonment or conditional discharge, is required by law upon
conviction, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission
to bail poses a real and present threat to the physical safety
of any person or persons.
(1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such
petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
previously released shall not be detained.
(2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the
defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good
cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a
continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may
not exceed 5 calendar days, and a continuance on the
motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days. The
defendant may be held in custody during such continuance.
(b) The court may deny bail to the defendant where, after
the hearing, it is determined that:
(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
the defendant has committed an offense for which a
sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed by

HB4697 - 355 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
law as a consequence of conviction, and
(2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
the physical safety of any person or persons, by conduct
which may include, but is not limited to, a forcible
felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation, injury,
physical harm, an offense under the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act which is a Class X felony, or an offense
under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection
Act which is a Class X felony, and
(3) the court finds that no condition or combination
of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section
110-10 of this Article, can reasonably assure the physical
safety of any other person or persons.
(c) Conduct of the hearings.
(1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and
dangerousness shall be conducted in accordance with the
following provisions:
(A) Information used by the court in its findings or
stated in or offered at such hearing may be by way of
proffer based upon reliable information offered by the
State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to be
represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to have
counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have the
opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in his
own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any are
called by the State. The defendant has the right to

HB4697 - 356 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of
justice so require, the court may exercise its
discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
witness. The court shall state on the record reasons
for granting a defense request to compel the presence
of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a
complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility
is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the
witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance
of a complaining witness, the court shall be
considerate of the emotional and physical well-being
of the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not
to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if
available, and any written or recorded statements and
the substance of any oral statements made by any
person, if relied upon by the State in its petition.
The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in
criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
consideration of information at the hearing. At the
trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was
conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
transcript or other record of the hearing shall be

HB4697 - 357 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section
115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
(B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence or
to suppress a confession shall not be entertained.
Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the
result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
improper interrogation is not relevant to this state
of the prosecution.
(2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
finding that the defendant poses a real and present threat
to the physical safety of any person or persons shall be
supported by clear and convincing evidence presented by
the State.
(d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
defendant poses a real and present threat to the physical
safety of any person or persons, consider but shall not be
limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
(1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
violence, involving a weapon.
(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
including:
(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive

HB4697 - 358 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
include testimony or documents received in juvenile
proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings.
(B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
psychiatric or other similar social history which
tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
nature, or lack of any such history.
(3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
nature of the threat;
(4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
them;
(5) The age and physical condition of any person
assaulted by the defendant;
(6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
access to any weapon or weapons;
(7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
federal or state law;
(8) Any other factors, including those listed in
Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a

HB4697 - 359 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or
lack of such behavior.
(e) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
detention:
(1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's
culpability and its reasons for concluding that the
defendant should be held without bail;
(2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
pending trial;
(3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
communication with others of his choice by visitation,
mail and telephone; and
(4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
required for appearances in connection with court
proceedings.
(f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the
defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, the
defendant shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he
is detained within 90 days after the date on which the order
for detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to
trial within the 90 day period required by the preceding
sentence, he shall not be held longer without bail. In
computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit any period of

HB4697 - 360 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of
the defendant.
(g) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled
to appeal any order entered under this Section denying bail to
the defendant.
(h) The State may appeal any order entered under this
Section denying any motion for denial of bail.
(i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption
of innocence in further criminal proceedings.
(a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
hold a hearing and may deny a defendant pretrial release only
if:
(1) the defendant is charged with a felony offense
other than a forcible felony for which, based on the
charge or the defendant's criminal history, a sentence of
imprisonment, without probation, periodic imprisonment or
conditional discharge, is required by law upon conviction,
and it is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release
poses a real and present threat to the safety of any person
or persons or the community, based on the specific
articulable facts of the case;

(2) the defendant is charged with stalking or

of the threat upon which the charge is based;
(3) the defendant is charged with a violation of an
order of protection issued under Section 112A-14 of this
Code or Section 214 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act
of 1986, a stalking no contact order under Section 80 of

order under Section 213 of the Civil No Contact Order Act,
and it is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release
poses a real and present threat to the safety of any person

HB4697 - 362 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
or persons or the community, based on the specific
articulable facts of the case;
(4) the defendant is charged with domestic battery or
aggravated domestic battery under Section 12-3.2 or 12-3.3

that the defendant's pretrial release poses a real and
present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
the case;
(6) the defendant is charged with any of the following
offenses under the Criminal Code of 2012, and it is

(c) Timing of petition.
(1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or

petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
previously released shall not be detained.
(2) Upon filing, the court shall immediately hold a
hearing on the petition unless a continuance is requested.
If a continuance is requested and granted, the hearing
shall be held within 48 hours of the defendant's first
appearance if the defendant is charged with first degree
murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony,

HB4697 - 367 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
and within 24 hours if the defendant is charged with a

detain or release the defendant in the time between the
filing of the petition and the hearing.
(d) Contents of petition.
(1) The petition shall be verified by the State and
shall state the grounds upon which it contends the
defendant should be denied pretrial release, including the
real and present threat to the safety of any person or
persons or the community, based on the specific
articulable facts or flight risk, as appropriate.
(2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent
petition under this Section, the State shall be required
to present a verified application setting forth in detail
any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the
filing of the previous petition.
(e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
the defendant has committed an offense listed in
subsection (a), and
(2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7)
of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present

HB4697 - 368 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to,
a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)
of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
1986, and
(3) no condition or combination of conditions set
forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety
of any person or persons or the community, based on the
specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses
listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or
(ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in
paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
(4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407
of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject
to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or
combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and
present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not
appear in court as required.
(f) Conduct of the hearings.
(1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to

HB4697 - 369 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
available, any written or recorded statements, and the
substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the
hearing.
(2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
(3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given
adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before
any hearing at which conditions of release or the
detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an
accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate
attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to
confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing
conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication system,
such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be
undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.
(3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be
denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of
two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused

HB4697 - 370 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
waives the right to be present physically in court, the
court determines that the physical health and safety of
any person necessary to the proceedings would be
endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of
the circuit orders use of that system due to operational
challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such
operational challenges must be documented and approved by
the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the
challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented
and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois
Courts every 6 months.
(4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining
witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall
petition the court for permission. When the ends of
justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion
and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
court shall state on the record reasons for granting a
defense request to compel the presence of a complaining
witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial
detention. In making a determination under this Section,
the court shall state on the record the reason for
granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a

HB4697 - 371 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The
pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's
criminal history, if available, and any written or
recorded statements and the substance of any oral
statements made by any person, if in the State's
Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.
(5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for
impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
(6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or

HB4697 - 372 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
the defendant.
(7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of
release, and detention prior to trial must be
individualized, and no single factor or standard may be
used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools
may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
(g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any
person or persons or the community, based on the specific
articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be
limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:
(1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
including:
(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
include testimony or documents received in juvenile
proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.
(B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,

HB4697 - 373 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
psychiatric or other similar social history which
tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
nature, or lack of any such history.
(3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
nature of the threat.
(4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
them.
(5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.
(6) The age and physical condition of any victim or
complaining witness.
(7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
access to any weapon or weapons.
(8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
federal or state law.
(9) Any other factors, including those listed in
Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a
reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior,
or lack of such behavior.
(h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for

HB4697 - 374 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
detention:
(1) make a written finding summarizing the court's
reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied
pretrial release, including why less restrictive
conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to
the safety of any person or persons or the community,
based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or
prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;
(2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
pending trial;
(3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
communication with others of his or her choice by
visitation, mail and telephone; and
(4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
required for appearances in connection with court
proceedings.
(i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the
detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this
Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the
offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date
on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant
is not brought to trial within the 90-day period required by
the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial
release. In computing the 90-day period, the court shall omit

HB4697 - 375 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at
the request of the defendant and any period of delay resulting
from a continuance granted at the request of the State with
good cause shown pursuant to Section 103-5.
(i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant
before the court, the judge must find that continued detention
is necessary to avoid a real and present threat to the safety
of any person or persons or the community, based on the
specific articulable facts of the case, or to prevent the
defendant's willful flight from prosecution.
(j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant shall be
entitled to appeal any order entered under this Section
denying his or her pretrial release.
(k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under
this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial
release.
(l) Presumption of innocence. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the
defendant's presumption of innocence in further criminal
proceedings.
(m) Interest of victims.
(1) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's
Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph (1)
of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime Victims
and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their opportunity
at this hearing to obtain a protective order.

(2) If the defendant is denied pretrial release, the court
may impose a no contact provision with the victim or other
interested party that shall be enforced while the defendant
remains in custody.

(a) The court may order that a person who has been found
guilty of an offense and who is waiting imposition or
execution of sentence be held without bond release unless the
court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person
is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or
the community if released under Sections 110-5 and 110-10 of

(b) The court may order that person who has been found
guilty of an offense and sentenced to a term of imprisonment be
held without bond release unless the court finds by clear and
convincing evidence that:
(1) the person is not likely to flee or pose a danger
to the safety of any other person or the community if
released on bond pending appeal; and
(2) that the appeal is not for purpose of delay and
raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to

Sec. 110-6.4. Statewide risk-assessment tool. The Supreme
Court may establish a statewide risk-assessment tool to be
used in proceedings to assist the court in establishing bail
conditions of pretrial release for a defendant by assessing
the defendant's likelihood of appearing at future court
proceedings or determining if the defendant poses a real and
present threat to the physical safety of any person or
persons. The Supreme Court shall consider establishing a
risk-assessment tool that does not discriminate on the basis
of race, gender, educational level, socio-economic status, or
neighborhood. If a risk-assessment tool is utilized within a
circuit that does not require a personal interview to be
completed, the Chief Judge of the circuit or the director of
the pretrial services agency may exempt the requirement under
Section 9 and subsection (a) of Section 7 of the Pretrial
Services Act.
For the purpose of this Section, "risk-assessment tool"
means an empirically validated, evidence-based screening
instrument that demonstrates reduced instances of a
defendant's failure to appear for further court proceedings or
prevents future criminal activity.

Sec. 110-10. Conditions of bail bond pretrial release.
(a) If a person is released prior to conviction, either
upon payment of bail security or on his or her own
recognizance, the conditions of the bail bond pretrial release
shall be that he or she will:
(1) Appear to answer the charge in the court having
jurisdiction on a day certain and thereafter as ordered by
the court until discharged or final order of the court;
(2) Submit himself or herself to the orders and
process of the court;
(3) (Blank);
(3.1) Not depart this State without leave of the
court;
(4) Not violate any criminal statute of any
jurisdiction;
(5) At a time and place designated by the court,
surrender all firearms in his or her possession to a law
enforcement officer designated by the court to take
custody of and impound the firearms and physically
surrender his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card
to the clerk of the circuit court when the offense the
person has been charged with is a forcible felony,
stalking, aggravated stalking, domestic battery, any
violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or

HB4697 - 379 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the Cannabis Control Act that is classified as a Class 2 or
greater felony, or any felony violation of Article 24 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; the
court may, however, forgo the imposition of this condition
when the circumstances of the case clearly do not warrant
it or when its imposition would be impractical; if the
Firearm Owner's Identification Card is confiscated, the
clerk of the circuit court shall mail the confiscated card
to the Illinois State Police; all legally possessed
firearms shall be returned to the person upon the charges
being dismissed, or if the person is found not guilty,
unless the finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity;
and
(6) At a time and place designated by the court,
submit to a psychological evaluation when the person has
been charged with a violation of item (4) of subsection
(a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012 and that violation occurred in a
school or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted
by a school to transport students to or from school or a
school-related activity, or on any public way within 1,000
feet of real property comprising any school.
Psychological evaluations ordered pursuant to this Section
shall be completed promptly and made available to the State,
the defendant, and the court. As a further condition of bail
pretrial release under these circumstances, the court shall

HB4697 - 380 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
order the defendant to refrain from entering upon the property
of the school, including any conveyance owned, leased, or
contracted by a school to transport students to or from school
or a school-related activity, or on any public way within
1,000 feet of real property comprising any school. Upon
receipt of the psychological evaluation, either the State or
the defendant may request a change in the conditions of bail
pretrial release, pursuant to Section 110-6 of this Code. The
court may change the conditions of bail pretrial release to
include a requirement that the defendant follow the
recommendations of the psychological evaluation, including
undergoing psychiatric treatment. The conclusions of the
psychological evaluation and any statements elicited from the
defendant during its administration are not admissible as
evidence of guilt during the course of any trial on the charged
offense, unless the defendant places his or her mental
competency in issue.
(b) The court may impose other conditions, such as the
following, if the court finds that such conditions are
reasonably necessary to assure the defendant's appearance in
court, protect the public from the defendant, or prevent the
defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly
administration of justice:
(1) Report to or appear in person before such person
or agency as the court may direct;
(2) Refrain from possessing a firearm or other

HB4697 - 381 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

support at home or in a foster home;
(12) Observe any curfew ordered by the court;
(13) Remain in the custody of such designated person
or organization agreeing to supervise his release. Such
third party custodian shall be responsible for notifying
the court if the defendant fails to observe the conditions
of release which the custodian has agreed to monitor, and
shall be subject to contempt of court for failure so to

HB4697 - 382 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
notify the court;
(14) Be placed under direct supervision of the

monitoring device, as a condition of such bail bond, a fee
that represents costs incidental to the electronic
monitoring for each day of such bail supervision ordered
by the court, unless after determining the inability of
the defendant to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser
fee or no fee as the case may be. The fee shall be
collected by the clerk of the circuit court, except as
provided in an administrative order of the Chief Judge of
the circuit court. The clerk of the circuit court shall
pay all monies collected from this fee to the county
treasurer for deposit in the substance abuse services fund

provided in an administrative order of the Chief Judge of

HB4697 - 383 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the circuit court.
The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may
by administrative order establish a program for electronic
monitoring of offenders with regard to drug-related and
alcohol-related offenses, in which a vendor supplies and

program shall include provisions for indigent offenders
and the collection of unpaid fees. The program shall not
unduly burden the offender and shall be subject to review
by the Chief Judge.
The Chief Judge of the circuit court may suspend any
additional charges or fees for late payment, interest, or
damage to any device;
(14.2) The court shall impose upon all defendants,
including those defendants subject to paragraph (14.1)

condition of such bail bond, a fee which shall represent
costs incidental to such electronic monitoring for each
day of such bail supervision ordered by the court, unless

the fee, the court assesses a lesser fee or no fee as the
case may be. The fee shall be collected by the clerk of the

HB4697 - 384 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
circuit court, except as provided in an administrative
order of the Chief Judge of the circuit court. The clerk of

fee to the county treasurer who shall use the monies
collected to defray the costs of corrections. The county
treasurer shall deposit the fee collected in the county
working cash fund under Section 6-27001 or Section 6-29002
of the Counties Code, as the case may be, except as
provided in an administrative order of the Chief Judge of
the circuit court.
The Chief Judge of the circuit court of the county may
by administrative order establish a program for electronic

defendant's appearance in court, ensure the defendant does not
commit any criminal offense, ensure the defendant complies
with all conditions of pretrial release, prevent the
defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly
administration of justice, or ensure compliance with the rules
and procedures of problem solving courts. However, conditions
shall include the least restrictive means and be

shall at all times remain a matter of record with the clerk
of the court; and
(9) Such other reasonable conditions as the court may
impose, so long as these conditions are the least
restrictive means to achieve the goals listed in
subsection (b), are individualized, and are in accordance
with national best practices as detailed in the Pretrial
Supervision Standards of the Supreme Court.
The defendant shall receive verbal and written
notification of conditions of pretrial release and future
court dates, including the date, time, and location of court.

(a) When violation is crime. A violation of any protective
order, whether issued in a civil, quasi-criminal proceeding or
by a military judge, shall be enforced by a criminal court
when:
(1) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
domestic violence order of protection pursuant to Section
12-3.4 or 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly violated:
(i) remedies described in paragraph (1), (2), (3),
(14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14
of this Code,

HB4697 - 394 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
the remedies authorized under paragraph (1), (2), (3),
(14), or (14.5) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the
Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid
order of protection, which is authorized under the
laws of another state, tribe, or United States
territory, or
(iii) any other remedy when the act constitutes a
crime against the protected parties as defined by the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
Prosecution for a violation of a domestic violence
order of protection shall not bar concurrent prosecution
for any other crime, including any crime that may have
been committed at the time of the violation of the
domestic violence order of protection; or
(2) The respondent commits the crime of child
abduction pursuant to Section 10-5 of the Criminal Code of
1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, by having knowingly
violated:
(i) remedies described in paragraph (5), (6), or
(8) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-14 of this Code,
or
(ii) a remedy, which is substantially similar to
the remedies authorized under paragraph (1), (5), (6),
or (8) of subsection (b) of Section 214 of the Illinois
Domestic Violence Act of 1986, in a valid domestic

HB4697 - 395 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
violence order of protection, which is authorized
under the laws of another state, tribe, or United
States territory.
(3) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
civil no contact order when the respondent violates
Section 12-3.8 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
for a violation of a civil no contact order shall not bar
concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including any
crime that may have been committed at the time of the
violation of the civil no contact order.
(4) The respondent commits the crime of violation of a
stalking no contact order when the respondent violates
Section 12-3.9 of the Criminal Code of 2012. Prosecution
for a violation of a stalking no contact order shall not
bar concurrent prosecution for any other crime, including
any crime that may have been committed at the time of the
violation of the stalking no contact order.
(b) When violation is contempt of court. A violation of
any valid protective order, whether issued in a civil or
criminal proceeding or by a military judge, may be enforced
through civil or criminal contempt procedures, as appropriate,
by any court with jurisdiction, regardless where the act or
acts which violated the protective order were committed, to
the extent consistent with the venue provisions of this
Article. Nothing in this Article shall preclude any Illinois
court from enforcing any valid protective order issued in

HB4697 - 396 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
another state. Illinois courts may enforce protective orders
through both criminal prosecution and contempt proceedings,
unless the action which is second in time is barred by
collateral estoppel or the constitutional prohibition against
double jeopardy.
(1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
rule to show cause sets forth facts evidencing an
immediate danger that the respondent will flee the
jurisdiction, conceal a child, or inflict physical abuse
on the petitioner or minor children or on dependent adults
in petitioner's care, the court may order the attachment
of the respondent without prior service of the rule to
show cause or the petition for a rule to show cause. Bond
shall be set unless specifically denied in writing.
(2) A petition for a rule to show cause for violation
of a protective order shall be treated as an expedited
proceeding.
(c) Violation of custody, allocation of parental
responsibility, or support orders. A violation of remedies
described in paragraph (5), (6), (8), or (9) of subsection (b)
of Section 112A-14 of this Code may be enforced by any remedy
provided by Section 607.5 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act. The court may enforce any order
for support issued under paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of
Section 112A-14 of this Code in the manner provided for under
Parts V and VII of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of

HB4697 - 397 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Marriage Act.
(d) Actual knowledge. A protective order may be enforced
pursuant to this Section if the respondent violates the order
after the respondent has actual knowledge of its contents as
shown through one of the following means:
(1) (Blank).
(2) (Blank).
(3) By service of a protective order under subsection
(f) of Section 112A-17.5 or Section 112A-22 of this Code.
(4) By other means demonstrating actual knowledge of
the contents of the order.
(e) The enforcement of a protective order in civil or
criminal court shall not be affected by either of the
following:
(1) The existence of a separate, correlative order
entered under Section 112A-15 of this Code.
(2) Any finding or order entered in a conjoined
criminal proceeding.
(e-5) If a civil no contact order entered under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 conflicts with an order issued pursuant to the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 or the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
Marriage Act, the conflicting order issued under subsection
(6) of Section 112A-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of
1963 shall be void.
(f) Circumstances. The court, when determining whether or

HB4697 - 398 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
not a violation of a protective order has occurred, shall not
require physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the
victim.
(g) Penalties.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3) of this
subsection (g), where the court finds the commission of a
crime or contempt of court under subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section, the penalty shall be the penalty that
generally applies in such criminal or contempt
proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.
(2) The court shall hear and take into account
evidence of any factors in aggravation or mitigation
before deciding an appropriate penalty under paragraph (1)
of this subsection (g).
(3) To the extent permitted by law, the court is
encouraged to:
(i) increase the penalty for the knowing violation
of any protective order over any penalty previously
imposed by any court for respondent's violation of any
protective order or penal statute involving petitioner
as victim and respondent as defendant;
(ii) impose a minimum penalty of 24 hours
imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
protective order; and

HB4697 - 399 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(iii) impose a minimum penalty of 48 hours
imprisonment for respondent's second or subsequent
violation of a protective order
unless the court explicitly finds that an increased
penalty or that period of imprisonment would be manifestly
unjust.
(4) In addition to any other penalties imposed for a
violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:
(i) to increase, revoke, or modify the bail bond
conditions of pretrial release on an underlying
criminal charge pursuant to Section 110-6 of this
Code;
(ii) to revoke or modify an order of probation,
conditional discharge, or supervision, pursuant to
Section 5-6-4 of the Unified Code of Corrections;
(iii) to revoke or modify a sentence of periodic
imprisonment, pursuant to Section 5-7-2 of the Unified
Code of Corrections.

(725 ILCS 5/113-3.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 113-3.1)
Sec. 113-3.1. Payment for Court-Appointed Counsel.
(a) Whenever under either Section 113-3 of this Code or

HB4697 - 400 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Rule 607 of the Illinois Supreme Court the court appoints
counsel to represent a defendant, the court may order the
defendant to pay to the Clerk of the Circuit Court a reasonable
sum to reimburse either the county or the State for such
representation. In a hearing to determine the amount of the
payment, the court shall consider the affidavit prepared by
the defendant under Section 113-3 of this Code and any other
information pertaining to the defendant's financial
circumstances which may be submitted by the parties. Such
hearing shall be conducted on the court's own motion or on
motion of the prosecutor State's Attorney at any time after
the appointment of counsel but no later than 90 days after the
entry of a final order disposing of the case at the trial
level.
(b) Any sum ordered paid under this Section may not exceed
$500 for a defendant charged with a misdemeanor, $5,000 for a
defendant charged with a felony, or $2,500 for a defendant who
is appealing a conviction of any class offense.
(c) The method of any payment required under this Section
shall be as specified by the Court. The court may order that
payments be made on a monthly basis during the term of
representation; however, the sum deposited as money bond shall
not be used to satisfy this court order. Any sum deposited as
money bond with the Clerk of the Circuit Court under Section
110-7 of this Code may be used in the court's discretion in
whole or in part to comply with any payment order entered in

HB4697 - 401 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section. The court may
give special consideration to the interests of relatives or
other third parties who may have posted a money bond on the
behalf of the defendant to secure his release. At any time
prior to full payment of any payment order the court on its own
motion or the motion of any party may reduce, increase, or
suspend the ordered payment, or modify the method of payment,
as the interest of fairness may require. No increase,
suspension, or reduction may be ordered without a hearing and
notice to all parties.
(d) The Supreme Court or the circuit courts may provide by
rule for procedures for the enforcement of orders entered
under this Section. Such rules may provide for the assessment
of all costs, including attorneys' fees which are required for
the enforcement of orders entered under this Section when the
court in an enforcement proceeding has first found that the
defendant has willfully refused to pay. The Clerk of the
Circuit Court shall keep records and make reports to the court
concerning funds paid under this Section in whatever manner
the court directs.
(e) Whenever an order is entered under this Section for
the reimbursement of the State due to the appointment of the
State Appellate Defender as counsel on appeal, the order shall
provide that the Clerk of the Circuit Court shall retain all
funds paid pursuant to such order until the full amount of the
sum ordered to be paid by the defendant has been paid. When no

HB4697 - 402 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
balance remains due on such order, the Clerk of the Circuit
Court shall inform the court of this fact and the court shall
promptly order the Clerk of the Circuit Court to pay to the
State Treasurer all of the sum paid.
(f) The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall retain all funds
under this Section paid for the reimbursement of the county,
and shall inform the court when no balance remains due on an
order entered hereunder. The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall
make payments of funds collected under this Section to the
County Treasurer in whatever manner and at whatever point as
the court may direct, including payments made on a monthly
basis during the term of representation.
(g) A defendant who fails to obey any order of court
entered under this Section may be punished for contempt of
court. Any arrearage in payments may be reduced to judgment in
the court's discretion and collected by any means authorized
for the collection of money judgments under the law of this
State.

(725 ILCS 5/114-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 114-1)
Sec. 114-1. Motion to dismiss charge.
(a) Upon the written motion of the defendant made prior to
trial before or after a plea has been entered the court may
dismiss the indictment, information or complaint upon any of
the following grounds:

HB4697 - 403 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(1) The defendant has not been placed on trial in
compliance with Section 103-5 of this Code.
(2) The prosecution of the offense is barred by
Sections 3-3 through 3-8 of the Criminal Code of 2012.
(3) The defendant has received immunity from
prosecution for the offense charged.
(4) The indictment was returned by a Grand Jury which
was improperly selected and which results in substantial
injustice to the defendant.
(5) The indictment was returned by a Grand Jury which
acted contrary to Article 112 of this Code and which
results in substantial injustice to the defendant.
(6) The court in which the charge has been filed does
not have jurisdiction.
(7) The county is an improper place of trial.
(8) The charge does not state an offense.
(9) The indictment is based solely upon the testimony
of an incompetent witness.
(10) The defendant is misnamed in the charge and the
misnomer results in substantial injustice to the
defendant.
(11) The requirements of Section 109-3.1 have not been
complied with.
(b) The court shall require any motion to dismiss to be
filed within a reasonable time after the defendant has been
arraigned. Any motion not filed within such time or an

HB4697 - 404 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
extension thereof shall not be considered by the court and the
grounds therefor, except as to subsections (a)(6) and (a)(8)
of this Section, are waived.
(c) If the motion presents only an issue of law the court
shall determine it without the necessity of further pleadings.
If the motion alleges facts not of record in the case the State
shall file an answer admitting or denying each of the factual
allegations of the motion.
(d) When an issue of fact is presented by a motion to
dismiss and the answer of the State the court shall conduct a
hearing and determine the issues.
(d-5) When a defendant seeks dismissal of the charge upon
the ground set forth in subsection (a)(7) of this Section, the
defendant shall make a prima facie showing that the county is
an improper place of trial. Upon such showing, the State shall
have the burden of proving, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that the county is the proper place of trial.
(d-6) When a defendant seeks dismissal of the charge upon
the grounds set forth in subsection (a)(2) of this Section,
the prosecution shall have the burden of proving, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the prosecution of the
offense is not barred by Sections 3-3 through 3-8 of the
Criminal Code of 2012.
(e) Dismissal of the charge upon the grounds set forth in
subsections (a)(4) through (a)(11) of this Section shall not
prevent the return of a new indictment or the filing of a new

HB4697 - 405 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
charge, and upon such dismissal the court may order that the
defendant be held in custody or, if the defendant had been
previously released on bail pretrial release, that the bail
pretrial release be continued for a specified time pending the
return of a new indictment or the filing of a new charge.
(f) If the court determines that the motion to dismiss
based upon the grounds set forth in subsections (a)(6) and
(a)(7) is well founded it may, instead of dismissal, order the
cause transferred to a court of competent jurisdiction or to a
proper place of trial.

(725 ILCS 5/115-4.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 115-4.1)
Sec. 115-4.1. Absence of defendant.
(a) When a defendant after arrest and an initial court
appearance for a non-capital felony or a misdemeanor, fails to
appear for trial, at the request of the State and after the
State has affirmatively proven through substantial evidence
that the defendant is willfully avoiding trial, the court may
commence trial in the absence of the defendant. Absence of a
defendant as specified in this Section shall not be a bar to
indictment of a defendant, return of information against a
defendant, or arraignment of a defendant for the charge for
which bail pretrial release has been granted. If a defendant
fails to appear at arraignment, the court may enter a plea of
"not guilty" on his behalf. If a defendant absents himself

HB4697 - 406 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
before trial on a capital felony, trial may proceed as
specified in this Section provided that the State certifies
that it will not seek a death sentence following conviction.
Trial in the defendant's absence shall be by jury unless the
defendant had previously waived trial by jury. The absent
defendant must be represented by retained or appointed
counsel. The court, at the conclusion of all of the
proceedings, may order the clerk of the circuit court to pay
counsel such sum as the court deems reasonable, from any bond
monies which were posted by the defendant with the clerk,
after the clerk has first deducted all court costs. If trial
had previously commenced in the presence of the defendant and
the defendant willfully absents himself for two successive
court days, the court shall proceed to trial. All procedural
rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution,
Constitution of the State of Illinois, statutes of the State
of Illinois, and rules of court shall apply to the proceedings
the same as if the defendant were present in court and had not
either forfeited his or her bail bond had his or her pretrial
release revoked or escaped from custody. The court may set the
case for a trial which may be conducted under this Section
despite the failure of the defendant to appear at the hearing
at which the trial date is set. When such trial date is set the
clerk shall send to the defendant, by certified mail at his
last known address indicated on his bond slip, notice of the
new date which has been set for trial. Such notification shall

HB4697 - 407 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
be required when the defendant was not personally present in
open court at the time when the case was set for trial.
(b) The absence of a defendant from a trial conducted
pursuant to this Section does not operate as a bar to
concluding the trial, to a judgment of conviction resulting
therefrom, or to a final disposition of the trial in favor of
the defendant.
(c) Upon a verdict of not guilty, the court shall enter
judgment for the defendant. Upon a verdict of guilty, the
court shall set a date for the hearing of post-trial motions
and shall hear such motion in the absence of the defendant. If
post-trial motions are denied, the court shall proceed to
conduct a sentencing hearing and to impose a sentence upon the
defendant.
(d) A defendant who is absent for part of the proceedings
of trial, post-trial motions, or sentencing, does not thereby
forfeit his right to be present at all remaining proceedings.
(e) When a defendant who in his absence has been either
convicted or sentenced or both convicted and sentenced appears
before the court, he must be granted a new trial or new
sentencing hearing if the defendant can establish that his
failure to appear in court was both without his fault and due
to circumstances beyond his control. A hearing with notice to
the State's Attorney on the defendant's request for a new
trial or a new sentencing hearing must be held before any such
request may be granted. At any such hearing both the defendant

HB4697 - 408 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
and the State may present evidence.
(f) If the court grants only the defendant's request for a
new sentencing hearing, then a new sentencing hearing shall be
held in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Code of
Corrections. At any such hearing, both the defendant and the
State may offer evidence of the defendant's conduct during his
period of absence from the court. The court may impose any
sentence authorized by the Unified Code of Corrections and is
not in any way limited or restricted by any sentence
previously imposed.
(g) A defendant whose motion under paragraph (e) for a new
trial or new sentencing hearing has been denied may file a
notice of appeal therefrom. Such notice may also include a
request for review of the judgment and sentence not vacated by
the trial court.

effect an entry into any building or property or part thereof
to execute a search warrant.
(b) The court issuing a warrant may authorize the officer
executing the warrant to make entry without first knocking and
announcing his or her office if it finds, based upon a showing
of specific facts, the existence of the following exigent
circumstances:
(1) That the officer reasonably believes that if
notice were given a weapon would be used:
(i) against the officer executing the search
warrant; or
(ii) against another person.
(2) That if notice were given there is an imminent
"danger" that evidence will be destroyed.
(c) Prior to the issuing of a warrant under subsection
(b), the officer must attest that:
(1) prior to entering the location described in the
search warrant, a supervising officer will ensure that
each participating member is assigned a body worn camera
and is following policies and procedures in accordance
with Section 10-20 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn
Body Camera Act; provided that the law enforcement agency

HB4697 - 411 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
has implemented body worn camera in accordance with
Section 10-15 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body
Camera Act. If a law enforcement agency or each
participating member of a multi-jurisdictional team has
not implemented a body camera in accordance with Section
10-15 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act,
the officer must attest that the interaction authorized by
the warrant is otherwise recorded;
(2) The supervising officer verified the subject
address listed on the warrant for accuracy and planned for
children or other vulnerable people on-site; and
(3) if an officer becomes aware the search warrant was
executed at an address, unit, or apartment different from
the location listed on the search warrant, that member
will immediately notify a supervisor who will ensure an
internal investigation or formal inquiry ensues.

offense: capital offenses; offenses for which a sentence of
life imprisonment may be imposed as a consequence of
conviction; felony offenses for which a sentence of
imprisonment, without conditional and revocable release, shall
be imposed by law as a consequence of conviction, where the
court after a hearing, determines that the release of the
defendant would pose a real and present threat to the physical
safety of any person or persons; stalking or aggravated
stalking, where the court, after a hearing, determines that
the release of the defendant would pose a real and present

HB4697 - 413 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
threat to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the
offense and denial of bail is necessary to prevent fulfillment
of the threat upon which the charge is based; or unlawful use
of weapons in violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of
Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code

conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a school to
transport students to or from school or a school-related
activity, or on any public way within 1,000 feet of real

Sec. 110-6.3-1. Denial of bail in stalking and aggravated
stalking offenses.
(a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a
defendant who is charged with stalking or aggravated stalking,
when it is alleged that the defendant's admission to bail
poses a real and present threat to the physical safety of the
alleged victim of the offense, and denial of release on bail or
personal recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of
the threat upon which the charge is based.
(1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
within 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while the

HB4697 - 415 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
previously released shall not be detained.
(2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the
defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good
cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a
continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may
not exceed 5 calendar days, and the defendant may be held
in custody during the continuance. A continuance on the
motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days;
however, the defendant may be held in custody during the
continuance under this provision if the defendant has been
previously found to have violated an order of protection
or has been previously convicted of, or granted court
supervision for, any of the offenses set forth in Sections
11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60, 12-2,

of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, against the same
person as the alleged victim of the stalking or aggravated
stalking offense.
(b) The court may deny bail to the defendant when, after
the hearing, it is determined that:
(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
the defendant has committed the offense of stalking or
aggravated stalking; and
(2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to

HB4697 - 416 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense;
and
(3) the denial of release on bail or personal
recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the
threat upon which the charge is based; and
(4) the court finds that no condition or combination
of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section
110-10 of this Code, including mental health treatment at
a community mental health center, hospital, or facility of
the Department of Human Services, can reasonably assure
the physical safety of the alleged victim of the offense.
(c) Conduct of the hearings.
(1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and
threat to the alleged victim of the offense shall be
conducted in accordance with the following provisions:
(A) Information used by the court in its findings
or stated in or offered at the hearing may be by way of
proffer based upon reliable information offered by the
State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to be
represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to have
counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have the
opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in his
own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any are
called by the State. The defendant has the right to
present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of
justice so require, the court may exercise its

HB4697 - 417 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
witness. The court shall state on the record reasons
for granting a defense request to compel the presence
of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a
complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility
is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the
witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance
of a complaining witness, the court shall be
considerate of the emotional and physical well-being
of the witness. The pretrial detention hearing is not
to be used for the purposes of discovery, and the post
arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if
available, and any written or recorded statements and
the substance of any oral statements made by any
person, if relied upon by the State. The rules
concerning the admissibility of evidence in criminal
trials do not apply to the presentation and
consideration of information at the hearing. At the
trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was
conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
transcript or other record of the hearing shall be
admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section

HB4697 - 418 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
(B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence
or to suppress a confession shall not be entertained.
Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the
result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
improper interrogation is not relevant to this state
of the prosecution.
(2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
finding that:
(A) the defendant poses a real and present threat
to the physical safety of the alleged victim of the
offense; and
(B) the denial of release on bail or personal
recognizance is necessary to prevent fulfillment of
the threat upon which the charge is based;
shall be supported by clear and convincing evidence
presented by the State.
(d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
the threat to the alleged victim of the offense. The court may,
in determining whether the defendant poses, at the time of the
hearing, a real and present threat to the physical safety of
the alleged victim of the offense, consider but shall not be
limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
(1) The nature and circumstances of the offense
charged;
(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant

HB4697 - 419 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
including:
(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
behavior, or lack of that behavior. The evidence may
include testimony or documents received in juvenile
proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings;
(B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
psychiatric or other similar social history that tends
to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive nature,
or lack of any such history.
(3) The nature of the threat which is the basis of the
charge against the defendant;
(4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
them;
(5) The age and physical condition of any person
assaulted by the defendant;
(6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
access to any weapon or weapons;
(7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
federal or state law;

HB4697 - 420 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(8) Any other factors, including those listed in
Section 110-5 of this Code, deemed by the court to have a
reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or
lack of that behavior.
(e) The court shall, in any order denying bail to a person
charged with stalking or aggravated stalking:
(1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's
culpability and its reasons for concluding that the
defendant should be held without bail;
(2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
pending trial;
(3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
communication with others of his choice by visitation,
mail and telephone; and
(4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
required for appearances in connection with court
proceedings.
(f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the
defendant under subsection (e) of this Section, the defendant
shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he is
detained within 90 days after the date on which the order for
detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to
trial within the 90 day period required by this subsection

HB4697 - 421 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(f), he shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the
90 day period, the court shall omit any period of delay
resulting from a continuance granted at the request of the
defendant. The court shall immediately notify the alleged
victim of the offense that the defendant has been admitted to
bail under this subsection.
(g) Any person shall be entitled to appeal any order
entered under this Section denying bail to the defendant.
(h) The State may appeal any order entered under this
Section denying any motion for denial of bail.
(i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption
of innocence in further criminal proceedings.
(725 ILCS 5/110-6.5-1 new)
Sec. 110-6.5-1. Drug testing program.
(a) The Chief Judge of the circuit may establish a drug
testing program as provided by this Section in any county in
the circuit if the county board has approved the establishment
of the program and the county probation department or pretrial
services agency has consented to administer it. The drug
testing program shall be conducted under the following
provisions:
(a-1) The court, in the case of a defendant charged with a
felony offense or any offense involving the possession or
delivery of cannabis or a controlled substance, shall:

HB4697 - 422 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(1) not consider the release of the defendant on his
or her own recognizance, unless the defendant consents to
periodic drug testing during the period of release on his
or her own recognizance, in accordance with this Section;
(2) consider the consent of the defendant to periodic
drug testing during the period of release on bail in
accordance with this Section as a favorable factor for the
defendant in determining the amount of bail, the
conditions of release or in considering the defendant's
motion to reduce the amount of bail.
(b) The drug testing shall be conducted by the pretrial
services agency or under the direction of the probation
department when a pretrial services agency does not exist in
accordance with this Section.
(c) A defendant who consents to periodic drug testing as
set forth in this Section shall sign an agreement with the
court that, during the period of release, the defendant shall
refrain from using illegal drugs and that the defendant will
comply with the conditions of the testing program. The
agreement shall be on a form prescribed by the court and shall
be executed at the time of the bail hearing. This agreement
shall be made a specific condition of bail.
(d) The drug testing program shall be conducted as
follows:
(1) The testing shall be done by urinalysis for the
detection of phencyclidine, heroin, cocaine, methadone and

HB4697 - 423 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
amphetamines.
(2) The collection of samples shall be performed under
reasonable and sanitary conditions.
(3) Samples shall be collected and tested with due
regard for the privacy of the individual being tested and
in a manner reasonably calculated to prevent substitutions
or interference with the collection or testing of reliable
samples.
(4) Sample collection shall be documented, and the
documentation procedures shall include:
(i) Labeling of samples so as to reasonably
preclude the probability of erroneous identification
of test results; and
(ii) An opportunity for the defendant to provide
information on the identification of prescription or
nonprescription drugs used in connection with a
medical condition.
(5) Sample collection, storage, and transportation to
the place of testing shall be performed so as to
reasonably preclude the probability of sample
contamination or adulteration.
(6) Sample testing shall conform to scientifically
accepted analytical methods and procedures. Testing shall
include verification or confirmation of any positive test
result by a reliable analytical method before the result
of any test may be used as a basis for any action by the

HB4697 - 424 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
court.
(e) The initial sample shall be collected before the
defendant's release on bail. Thereafter, the defendant shall
report to the pretrial services agency or probation department
as required by the agency or department. The pretrial services
agency or probation department shall immediately notify the
court of any defendant who fails to report for testing.
(f) After the initial test, a subsequent confirmed
positive test result indicative of continued drug use shall
result in the following:
(1) Upon the first confirmed positive test result, the
pretrial services agency or probation department, shall
place the defendant on a more frequent testing schedule
and shall warn the defendant of the consequences of
continued drug use.
(2) A second confirmed positive test result shall be
grounds for a hearing before the judge who authorized the
release of the defendant in accordance with the provisions
of subsection (g) of this Section.
(g) The court shall, upon motion of the State or upon its
own motion, conduct a hearing in connection with any defendant
who fails to appear for testing, fails to cooperate with the
persons conducting the testing program, attempts to submit a
sample not his or her own or has had a confirmed positive test
result indicative of continued drug use for the second or
subsequent time after the initial test. The hearing shall be

HB4697 - 425 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
conducted in accordance with the procedures of Section 110-6.
Upon a finding by the court that the State has established
by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has
violated the drug testing conditions of bail, the court may
consider any of the following sanctions:
(1) increase the amount of the defendant's bail or
conditions of release;
(2) impose a jail sentence of up to 5 days;
(3) revoke the defendant's bail; or
(4) enter such other orders which are within the power
of the court as deemed appropriate.
(h) The results of any drug testing conducted under this
Section shall not be admissible on the issue of the
defendant's guilt in connection with any criminal charge.
(i) The court may require that the defendant pay for the
cost of drug testing.
(725 ILCS 5/110-7.1 new)
Sec. 110-7.1. Deposit of bail security.
(a) The person for whom bail has been set shall execute the
bail bond and deposit with the clerk of the court before which
the proceeding is pending a sum of money equal to 10% of the
bail, but in no event shall such deposit be less than $25. The
clerk of the court shall provide a space on each form for a
person other than the accused who has provided the money for
the posting of bail to so indicate and a space signed by an

HB4697 - 426 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
accused who has executed the bail bond indicating whether a
person other than the accused has provided the money for the
posting of bail. The form shall also include a written notice
to such person who has provided the defendant with the money
for the posting of bail indicating that the bail may be used to
pay costs, attorney's fees, fines, or other purposes
authorized by the court and if the defendant fails to comply
with the conditions of the bail bond, the court shall enter an
order declaring the bail to be forfeited. The written notice
must be: (1) distinguishable from the surrounding text; (2) in
bold type or underscored; and (3) in a type size at least 2
points larger than the surrounding type. When a person for
whom bail has been set is charged with an offense under the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine
Control and Community Protection Act which is a Class X
felony, or making a terrorist threat in violation of Section
29D-20 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
2012 or an attempt to commit the offense of making a terrorist
threat, the court may require the defendant to deposit a sum
equal to 100% of the bail. Where any person is charged with a
forcible felony while free on bail and is the subject of
proceedings under Section 109-3 of this Code the judge
conducting the preliminary examination may also conduct a
hearing upon the application of the State pursuant to the
provisions of Section 110-6 of this Code to increase or revoke
the bail for that person's prior alleged offense.

HB4697 - 427 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized
by law, the person shall be released from custody subject to
the conditions of the bail bond.
(c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or is
thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent
jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail
in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of
this Code.
(d) After conviction the court may order that the original
bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce
bail subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
(e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing
or denying bail pending appeal either party may apply to the
reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof
sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the
amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal
subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
(f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been
performed and the accused has been discharged from all
obligations in the cause the clerk of the court shall return to
the accused or to the defendant's designee by an assignment
executed at the time the bail amount is deposited, unless the
court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been
deposited and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount
deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by
the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Notwithstanding

HB4697 - 428 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the foregoing, in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or
more, in no event shall the amount retained by the clerk as
bail bond costs exceed $100. Bail bond deposited by or on
behalf of a defendant in one case may be used, in the court's
discretion, to satisfy financial obligations of that same
defendant incurred in a different case due to a fine, court
costs, restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of
record. In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more,
the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf
of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial
obligations of that same defendant in a different case until
the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs and
attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has been
deposited and any other unpaid child support obligations are
satisfied. In counties with a population of 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 to satisfy
financial obligations of that same defendant in a different
case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs
in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited.
At the request of the defendant the court may order such
90% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is
repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to
defendant's attorney of record.
(g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an

HB4697 - 429 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
last known address. If the accused does not appear and
surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from
the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the
court that appearance and surrender by the accused is
impossible and without his fault the court shall enter
judgment for the State if the charge for which the bond was
given was a felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was
quasi-criminal or traffic, judgment for the political
subdivision of the State which prosecuted the case, against
the accused for the amount of the bail and costs of the court
proceedings; however, in counties with a population of less
than 3,000,000, instead of the court entering a judgment for
the full amount of the bond the court may, in its discretion,
enter judgment for the cash deposit on the bond, less costs,
retain the deposit for further disposition or, if a cash bond
was posted for failure to appear in a matter involving
enforcement of child support or maintenance, the amount of the
cash deposit on the bond, less outstanding costs, may be
awarded to the person or entity to whom the child support or
maintenance is due. The deposit made in accordance with
paragraph (a) shall be applied to the payment of costs. If
judgment is entered and any amount of such deposit remains
after the payment of costs it shall be applied to payment of
the judgment and transferred to the treasury of the municipal

HB4697 - 430 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
corporation wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a
violation of any penal ordinance of a political subdivision of
this State, or to the treasury of the county wherein the bond
was taken if the offense was a violation of any penal statute
of this State. The balance of the judgment may be enforced and
collected in the same manner as a judgment entered in a civil
action.
(h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either
is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had
been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such
deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied
to the payment of the judgment.
(i) When a court appearance is required for an alleged
violation of the Criminal Code of 1961, the Criminal Code of
2012, the Illinois Vehicle Code, the Wildlife Code, the Fish
and Aquatic Life Code, the Child Passenger Protection Act, or
a comparable offense of a unit of local government as
specified in Supreme Court Rule 551, and if the accused does
not appear in court on the date set for appearance or any date
to which the case may be continued and the court issues an
arrest warrant for the accused, based upon his or her failure
to appear when having so previously been ordered to appear by
the court, the accused upon his or her admission to bail shall
be assessed by the court a fee of $75. Payment of the fee shall
be a condition of release unless otherwise ordered by the
court. The fee shall be in addition to any bail that the

HB4697 - 431 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
accused is required to deposit for the offense for which the
accused has been charged and may not be used for the payment of
court costs or fines assessed for the offense. The clerk of the
court shall remit $70 of the fee assessed to the arresting
agency who brings the offender in on the arrest warrant. If the
Department of State Police is the arresting agency, $70 of the
fee assessed shall be remitted by the clerk of the court to the
State Treasurer within one month after receipt for deposit
into the State Police Operations Assistance Fund. The clerk of
the court shall remit $5 of the fee assessed to the Circuit
Court Clerk Operation and Administrative Fund as provided in
Section 27.3d of the Clerks of Courts Act.
(725 ILCS 5/110-8.1 new)
Sec. 110-8.1. Cash, stocks, bonds and real estate as
security for bail.
(a) In lieu of the bail deposit provided for in Section
110-7.1 of this Code any person for whom bail has been set may
execute the bail bond with or without sureties which bond may
be secured:
(1) By a deposit, with the clerk of the court, of an amount
equal to the required bail, of cash, or stocks and bonds in
which trustees are authorized to invest trust funds under the
laws of this State; or
(2) By real estate situated in this State with
unencumbered equity not exempt owned by the accused or

HB4697 - 432 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
sureties worth double the amount of bail set in the bond.
(b) If the bail bond is secured by stocks and bonds the
accused or sureties shall file with the bond a sworn schedule
which shall be approved by the court and shall contain:
(1) A list of the stocks and bonds deposited
describing each in sufficient detail that it may be
identified;
(2) The market value of each stock and bond;
(3) The total market value of the stocks and bonds
listed;
(4) A statement that the affiant is the sole owner of
the stocks and bonds listed and they are not exempt from
the enforcement of a judgment thereon;
(5) A statement that such stocks and bonds have not
previously been used or accepted as bail in this State
during the 12 months preceding the date of the bail bond;
and
(6) A statement that such stocks and bonds are
security for the appearance of the accused in accordance
with the conditions of the bail bond.
(c) If the bail bond is secured by real estate the accused
or sureties shall file with the bond a sworn schedule which
shall contain:
(1) A legal description of the real estate;
(2) A description of any and all encumbrances on the
real estate including the amount of each and the holder

HB4697 - 433 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
thereof;
(3) The market value of the unencumbered equity owned
by the affiant;
(4) A statement that the affiant is the sole owner of
such unencumbered equity and that it is not exempt from
the enforcement of a judgment thereon;
(5) A statement that the real estate has not
previously been used or accepted as bail in this State
during the 12 months preceding the date of the bail bond;
and
(6) A statement that the real estate is security for
the appearance of the accused in accordance with the
conditions of the bail bond.
(d) The sworn schedule shall constitute a material part of
the bail bond. The affiant commits perjury if in the sworn
schedule he makes a false statement which he does not believe
to be true. He shall be prosecuted and punished accordingly,
or, he may be punished for contempt.
(e) A certified copy of the bail bond and schedule of real
estate shall be filed immediately in the office of the
registrar of titles or recorder of the county in which the real
estate is situated and the State shall have a lien on such real
estate from the time such copies are filed in the office of the
registrar of titles or recorder. The registrar of titles or
recorder shall enter, index and record (or register as the
case may be) such bail bonds and schedules without requiring

HB4697 - 434 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
any advance fee, which fee shall be taxed as costs in the
proceeding and paid out of such costs when collected.
(f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been
performed and the accused has been discharged from his
obligations in the cause, the clerk of the court shall return
to him or his sureties the deposit of any cash, stocks or
bonds. If the bail bond has been secured by real estate the
clerk of the court shall forthwith notify in writing the
registrar of titles or recorder and the lien of the bail bond
on the real estate shall be discharged.
(g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith by the clerk of the
court to the accused and his sureties at their last known
address. If the accused does not appear and surrender to the
court having jurisdiction within 30 days from the date of the
forfeiture or within such period satisfy the court that
appearance and surrender by the accused is impossible and
without his fault the court shall enter judgment for the State
against the accused and his sureties for the amount of the bail
and costs of the proceedings; however, in counties with a
population of less than 3,000,000, if the defendant has posted
a cash bond, instead of the court entering a judgment for the
full amount of the bond the court may, in its discretion, enter
judgment for the cash deposit on the bond, less costs, retain

HB4697 - 435 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the deposit for further disposition or, if a cash bond was
posted for failure to appear in a matter involving enforcement
of child support or maintenance, the amount of the cash
deposit on the bond, less outstanding costs, may be awarded to
the person or entity to whom the child support or maintenance
is due.
(h) When judgment is entered in favor of the State on any
bail bond given for a felony or misdemeanor, or judgment for a
political subdivision of the state on any bail bond given for a
quasi-criminal or traffic offense, the State's Attorney or
political subdivision's attorney shall forthwith obtain a
certified copy of the judgment and deliver same to the sheriff
to be enforced by levy on the stocks or bonds deposited with
the clerk of the court and the real estate described in the
bail bond schedule. Any cash forfeited under subsection (g) of
this Section shall be used to satisfy the judgment and costs
and, without necessity of levy, ordered paid into the treasury
of the municipal corporation wherein the bail bond was taken
if the offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a
political subdivision of this State, or into the treasury of
the county wherein the bail bond was taken if the offense was a
violation of any penal statute of this State, or to the person
or entity to whom child support or maintenance is owed if the
bond was taken for failure to appear in a matter involving
child support or maintenance. The stocks, bonds and real
estate shall be sold in the same manner as in sales for the

HB4697 - 436 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
enforcement of a judgment in civil actions and the proceeds of
such sale shall be used to satisfy all court costs, prior
encumbrances, if any, and from the balance a sufficient amount
to satisfy the judgment shall be paid into the treasury of the
municipal corporation wherein the bail bond was taken if the
offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a political
subdivision of this State, or into the treasury of the county
wherein the bail bond was taken if the offense was a violation
of any penal statute of this State. The balance shall be
returned to the owner. The real estate so sold may be redeemed
in the same manner as real estate may be redeemed after
judicial sales or sales for the enforcement of judgments in
civil actions.

as bail bond security in this State more than once in any 12
month period.

notices, motions and court orders filed thereafter in the
case.
(3) Standing. The victim has standing to assert the
rights enumerated in subsection (a) of Article I, Section

HB4697 - 461 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and the statutory rights
under Section 4 of this Act in any court exercising
jurisdiction over the criminal case. The prosecuting
attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may
assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal
case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any
court proceeding, including on appeal.
(4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights.
(A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a
victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting
attorney shall consult with the victim and the
victim's attorney regarding the assertion or
enforcement of a right. If the prosecuting attorney
decides not to assert or enforce a victim's right, the
prosecuting attorney shall notify the victim or the
victim's attorney in sufficient time to allow the
victim or the victim's attorney to assert the right or
to seek enforcement of a right.
(B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
the victim's right or request enforcement of a right
by filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or

HB4697 - 462 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
case outside the presence of the jury.
(C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
right or seeks enforcement of a right, unless the
prosecuting attorney objects or the trial court does
not allow it, the victim or the victim's attorney may
be heard regarding the prosecuting attorney's motion
or may file a simultaneous motion to assert or request
enforcement of the victim's right. If the victim or
the victim's attorney was not allowed to be heard at
the hearing regarding the prosecuting attorney's
motion, and the court denies the prosecuting
attorney's assertion of the right or denies the
request for enforcement of a right, the victim or
victim's attorney may file a motion to assert the
victim's right or to request enforcement of the right
within 10 days of the court's ruling. The motion need
not demonstrate the grounds for a motion for
reconsideration. The court shall rule on the merits of
the motion.
(D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons
for any decision denying the motion or request shall
be clearly stated on the record.

HB4697 - 463 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(E) No later than January 1, 2023, the Office of
the Attorney General shall:
(i) designate an administrative authority
within the Office of the Attorney General to
receive and investigate complaints relating to the
provision or violation of the rights of a crime
victim as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of
the Illinois Constitution and in this Act;
(ii) create and administer a course of
training for employees and offices of the State of
Illinois that fail to comply with provisions of
Illinois law pertaining to the treatment of crime
victims as described in Article I, Section 8.1 of
the Illinois Constitution and in this Act as
required by the court under Section 5 of this Act;
and
(iii) have the authority to make
recommendations to employees and offices of the
State of Illinois to respond more effectively to
the needs of crime victims, including regarding
the violation of the rights of a crime victim.
(F) Crime victims' rights may also be asserted by
filing a complaint for mandamus, injunctive, or
declaratory relief in the jurisdiction in which the
victim's right is being violated or where the crime is
being prosecuted. For complaints or motions filed by

HB4697 - 464 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
or on behalf of the victim, the clerk of court shall
waive filing fees that would otherwise be owed by the
victim for any court filing with the purpose of
enforcing crime victims' rights. If the court denies
the relief sought by the victim, the reasons for the
denial shall be clearly stated on the record in the
transcript of the proceedings, in a written opinion,
or in the docket entry, and the victim may appeal the
circuit court's decision to the appellate court. The
court shall issue prompt rulings regarding victims'
rights. Proceedings seeking to enforce victims' rights
shall not be stayed or subject to unreasonable delay
via continuances.
(5) Violation of rights and remedies.
(A) If the court determines that a victim's right
has been violated, the court shall determine the
appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
considering all factors relevant to the issue, and
then awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
(A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
violation of a victim's right.
(B) The appropriate remedy shall include only

HB4697 - 465 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
which the victim was entitled. Remedies may include,
but are not limited to: injunctive relief requiring
the victim's right to be afforded; declaratory
judgment recognizing or clarifying the victim's
rights; a writ of mandamus; and may include reopening
previously held proceedings; however, in no event
shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate
remedy without violating any constitutional right of
the defendant. In no event shall the appropriate
remedy to the victim be a new trial or damages.
The court shall impose a mandatory training course
provided by the Attorney General for the employee under
item (ii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (4), which must
be successfully completed within 6 months of the entry of
the court order.
This paragraph (5) takes effect January 2, 2023.
(6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
(7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
constitutional right of the party, and must contain an

HB4697 - 466 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
forth on the record the facts that support its finding
that the victim's testimony will be materially affected if
the victim hears other testimony at trial.
(8) Right to have advocate and support person present
at court proceedings.
(A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
witness at trial must seek permission of the court
before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding
(i) the content of the anticipated testimony of the
advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days

HB4697 - 467 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
to seek appellate review before the advocate is
required to testify at an ex parte in camera
proceeding.
The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after
conducting the ex parte in camera hearing, the court
determines that due process requires any testimony
regarding confidential or privileged information or
communications, the court shall provide to the
prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte
in camera proceeding does not make the substance of
the advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
inadmissible subject to discovery.
(B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
support person present at the court proceedings, the
victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the

HB4697 - 468 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
defendant. If the defendant intends to call the
support person as a witness at trial, the defendant
must seek permission of the court before a subpoena is
issued. The defendant must file a written motion at
least 45 days prior to trial that sets forth
specifically the issues on which the support person
will testify and an offer of proof regarding: (i) the
content of the anticipated testimony of the support
person; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
materiality of the anticipated testimony.
If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
support person as a witness during the State's
case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
the court of this intent in the response to the
defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
different person to be the victim's support person.
The court may allow the defendant to inquire about
matters outside the scope of the direct examination
during cross-examination. If the court allows the
defendant to do so, the support person shall be
allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support
person has testified. A defendant who fails to
question the support person about matters outside the
scope of direct examination during the State's
case-in-chief waives the right to challenge the
presence of the support person on appeal. The court

HB4697 - 469 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
shall allow the support person to testify if called as
a witness in the defendant's case-in-chief or the
State's rebuttal.
If the court does not allow the defendant to
inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
examination, the support person shall be allowed to
remain in the courtroom after the support person has
been called by the defendant or the defendant has
rested. The court shall allow the support person to
testify in the State's rebuttal.
If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to
call the support person in the State's case-in-chief,
the court shall verify with the support person whether
the support person, if called as a witness, would
testify as set forth in the offer of proof. If the
court finds that the support person would testify as
set forth in the offer of proof, the court shall rule
on the relevance, materiality, and admissibility of
the anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
the courtroom after the support person testifies and
shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
If the court excludes the victim's support person
during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
allowed to choose another support person to be present

HB4697 - 470 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
in court.
If the victim fails to designate a support person
within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
court may exclude the support person from the trial
until the support person testifies. If the court
excludes the support person the victim may choose
another person as a support person.
(9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
confidential or privileged information or records.
(A) A defendant who seeks to subpoena testimony or
records of or concerning the victim that are
confidential or privileged by law must seek permission
of the court before the subpoena is issued. The
defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
materiality of the testimony or records. If the court
finds by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(i) the testimony or records are not protected
by an absolute privilege and
(ii) the testimony or records contain
relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
is not available through other witnesses or
evidence, the court shall issue a subpoena
requiring the witness to appear in camera or a
sealed copy of the records be delivered to the

HB4697 - 471 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
court to be reviewed in camera. If, after
conducting an in camera review of the witness
statement or records, the court determines that
due process requires disclosure of any potential
testimony or any portion of the records, the court
shall provide copies of the records that it
intends to disclose to the prosecuting attorney
and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review
before the records are disclosed to the defendant,
used in any court proceeding, or disclosed to
anyone or in any way that would subject the
testimony or records to public review. The
disclosure of copies of any portion of the
testimony or records to the prosecuting attorney
under this Section does not make the records
subject to discovery or required to be provided to
the defendant.
(B) A prosecuting attorney who seeks to subpoena
information or records concerning the victim that are
confidential or privileged by law must first request
the written consent of the crime victim. If the victim
does not provide such written consent, including where
necessary the appropriate signed document required for
waiving privilege, the prosecuting attorney must serve
the subpoena at least 21 days prior to the date a

HB4697 - 472 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
response or appearance is required to allow the
subject of the subpoena time to file a motion to quash
or request a hearing. The prosecuting attorney must
also send a written notice to the victim at least 21
days prior to the response date to allow the victim to
file a motion or request a hearing. The notice to the
victim shall inform the victim (i) that a subpoena has
been issued for confidential information or records
concerning the victim, (ii) that the victim has the
right to request a hearing prior to the response date
of the subpoena, and (iii) how to request the hearing.
The notice to the victim shall also include a copy of
the subpoena. If requested, a hearing regarding the
subpoena shall occur before information or records are
provided to the prosecuting attorney.
(10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of
the time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and
that the victim had a right to be heard at the court
proceeding. If the court determines that timely notice was
not given or that the victim was not adequately informed
of the nature of the court proceeding, the court shall not
rule on any substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a
sentence and shall continue the hearing for the time

HB4697 - 473 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
necessary to notify the victim of the time, place and
nature of the court proceeding. The time between court
proceedings shall not be attributable to the State under
Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
(11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling
on a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding,
the court shall inquire into the circumstances for the
request for the delay and, if the victim has provided
written notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has
not conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
continuance, the number and length of continuances that
have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over

HB4697 - 474 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
(12) Right to Restitution.
(A) If the victim has asserted the right to
restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
(B) If the victim has asserted the right to
restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall,
within 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
information and documentation related to restitution
is needed and that the information and documentation
must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days
after sentencing. Failure to timely provide
information and documentation related to restitution
shall be deemed a waiver of the right to restitution.
The prosecutor shall file and serve within 60 days
after sentencing a proposed judgment for restitution
and a notice that includes information concerning the
identity of any victims or other persons seeking
restitution, whether any victim or other person
expressly declines restitution, the nature and amount
of any damages together with any supporting
documentation, a restitution amount recommendation,

HB4697 - 475 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
and the names of any co-defendants and their case
numbers. Within 30 days after receipt of the proposed
judgment for restitution, the defendant shall file any
objection to the proposed judgment, a statement of
grounds for the objection, and a financial statement.
If the defendant does not file an objection, the court
may enter the judgment for restitution without further
proceedings. If the defendant files an objection and
either party requests a hearing, the court shall
schedule a hearing.
(13) Access to presentence reports.
(A) The victim may request a copy of the
presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
Attorney shall redact the following information before
providing a copy of the report:
(i) the defendant's mental history and
condition;
(ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
(b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
(iii) the name, address, phone number, and
other personal information about any other victim.
(B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
request the court redact other information in the
report that may endanger the safety of any person.
(C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to

HB4697 - 476 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
the victim any of the information that has been
redacted if there is a reasonable likelihood that the
information will be stated in court at the sentencing.
(D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
the report and other information. Any dissemination of
the report or information that was not stated at a
court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
contempt of court.
(14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or
the prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days
of the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court
may stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a
stay would not violate a constitutional right of the
defendant. If the appellate court denies the relief
sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated
in a written opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the
State may assert as error the court's denial of any crime
victim's right in the proceeding to which the appeal
relates.
(15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
violation of a victim's right.
(16) The right to be reasonably protected from the
accused throughout the criminal justice process and the

HB4697 - 477 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail,
determining whether to release the defendant, and setting
conditions of release after arrest and conviction. A
victim of domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking
may request the entry of a protective order under Article
112A of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
(d) Procedures after the imposition of sentence.
(1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or
any other concerned citizen, upon written request, of the
prisoner's release on parole, mandatory supervised
release, electronic detention, work release, international
transfer or exchange, or by the custodian, other than the
Department of Juvenile Justice, of the discharge of any
individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a crime
from State custody and by the sheriff of the appropriate
county of any such person's final discharge from county
custody. The Prisoner Review Board, upon written request,
shall provide to a victim or any other concerned citizen a
recent photograph of any person convicted of a felony,
upon his or her release from custody. The Prisoner Review
Board, upon written request, shall inform a victim or any
other concerned citizen when feasible at least 7 days
prior to the prisoner's release on furlough of the times
and dates of such furlough. Upon written request by the
victim or any other concerned citizen, the State's

HB4697 - 478 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Attorney shall notify the person once of the times and
dates of release of a prisoner sentenced to periodic
imprisonment. Notification shall be based on the most
recent information as to the victim's or other concerned
citizen's residence or other location available to the
notifying authority.
(2) When the defendant has been committed to the
Department of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or
any other provision of the Unified Code of Corrections,
the victim may request to be notified by the releasing
authority of the approval by the court of an on-grounds
pass, a supervised off-grounds pass, an unsupervised
off-grounds pass, or conditional release; the release on
an off-grounds pass; the return from an off-grounds pass;
transfer to another facility; conditional release; escape;
death; or final discharge from State custody. The
Department of Human Services shall establish and maintain
a statewide telephone number to be used by victims to make
notification requests under these provisions and shall
publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
State's Attorney of each county.
(3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile
Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board
of the escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify
the victim. The notification shall be based upon the most

HB4697 - 479 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
recent information as to the victim's residence or other
location available to the Board. When no such information
is available, the Board shall make all reasonable efforts
to obtain the information and make the notification. When
the escapee is apprehended, the Department of Corrections
or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall
notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board shall
notify the victim.
(4) The victim of the crime for which the prisoner has
been sentenced has the right to register with the Prisoner
Review Board's victim registry. Victims registered with
the Board shall receive reasonable written notice not less
than 30 days prior to the parole hearing or target
aftercare release date. The victim has the right to submit
a victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner
Review Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice in
writing, on film, videotape, or other electronic means, or
in the form of a recording prior to the parole hearing or
target aftercare release date, or in person at the parole
hearing or aftercare release protest hearing, or by
calling the toll-free number established in subsection (f)
of this Section. The victim shall be notified within 7
days after the prisoner has been granted parole or
aftercare release and shall be informed of the right to
inspect the registry of parole decisions, established
under subsection (g) of Section 3-3-5 of the Unified Code

HB4697 - 480 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
of Corrections. The provisions of this paragraph (4) are
subject to the Open Parole Hearings Act. Victim statements
provided to the Board shall be confidential and
privileged, including any statements received prior to
January 1, 2020 (the effective date of Public Act
101-288), except if the statement was an oral statement
made by the victim at a hearing open to the public.
(4-1) The crime victim has the right to submit a
victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review
Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice prior to or at
a hearing to determine the conditions of mandatory
supervised release of a person sentenced to a determinate
sentence or at a hearing on revocation of mandatory
supervised release of a person sentenced to a determinate
sentence. A victim statement may be submitted in writing,
on film, videotape, or other electronic means, or in the
form of a recording, or orally at a hearing, or by calling
the toll-free number established in subsection (f) of this
Section. Victim statements provided to the Board shall be
confidential and privileged, including any statements
received prior to January 1, 2020 (the effective date of
Public Act 101-288), except if the statement was an oral
statement made by the victim at a hearing open to the
public.
(4-2) The crime victim has the right to submit a
victim statement to the Prisoner Review Board for

HB4697 - 481 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
consideration at an executive clemency hearing as provided
in Section 3-3-13 of the Unified Code of Corrections. A
victim statement may be submitted in writing, on film,
videotape, or other electronic means, or in the form of a
recording prior to a hearing, or orally at a hearing, or by
calling the toll-free number established in subsection (f)
of this Section. Victim statements provided to the Board
shall be confidential and privileged, including any
statements received prior to January 1, 2020 (the
effective date of Public Act 101-288), except if the
statement was an oral statement made by the victim at a
hearing open to the public.
(5) If a statement is presented under Section 6, the
Prisoner Review Board or Department of Juvenile Justice
shall inform the victim of any order of discharge pursuant
to Section 3-2.5-85 or 3-3-8 of the Unified Code of
Corrections.
(6) At the written or oral request of the victim of the
crime for which the prisoner was sentenced or the State's
Attorney of the county where the person seeking parole or
aftercare release was prosecuted, the Prisoner Review
Board or Department of Juvenile Justice shall notify the
victim and the State's Attorney of the county where the
person seeking parole or aftercare release was prosecuted
of the death of the prisoner if the prisoner died while on
parole or aftercare release or mandatory supervised

release.
(7) When a defendant who has been committed to the
Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile
Justice, or the Department of Human Services is released
or discharged and subsequently committed to the Department
of Human Services as a sexually violent person and the
victim had requested to be notified by the releasing
authority of the defendant's discharge, conditional
release, death, or escape from State custody, the
releasing authority shall provide to the Department of
Human Services such information that would allow the
Department of Human Services to contact the victim.
(8) When a defendant has been convicted of a sex
offense as defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
Registration Act and has been sentenced to the Department
of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, the
Prisoner Review Board or the Department of Juvenile
Justice shall notify the victim of the sex offense of the
prisoner's eligibility for release on parole, aftercare
release, mandatory supervised release, electronic
detention, work release, international transfer or
exchange, or by the custodian of the discharge of any
individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a sex
offense from State custody and by the sheriff of the
appropriate county of any such person's final discharge
from county custody. The notification shall be made to the

HB4697 - 483 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

Sec. 5-6-4. Violation, modification or revocation of
probation, of conditional discharge or supervision or of a
sentence of county impact incarceration - hearing.
(a) Except in cases where conditional discharge or
supervision was imposed for a petty offense as defined in
Section 5-1-17, when a petition is filed charging a violation
of a condition, the court may:
(1) in the case of probation violations, order the
issuance of a notice to the offender to be present by the
County Probation Department or such other agency
designated by the court to handle probation matters; and
in the case of conditional discharge or supervision
violations, such notice to the offender shall be issued by
the Circuit Court Clerk; and in the case of a violation of
a sentence of county impact incarceration, such notice
shall be issued by the Sheriff;
(2) order a summons to the offender to be present for
hearing; or

HB4697 - 512 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(3) order a warrant for the offender's arrest where
there is danger of his fleeing the jurisdiction or causing
serious harm to others or when the offender fails to
answer a summons or notice from the clerk of the court or
Sheriff.
Personal service of the petition for violation of
probation or the issuance of such warrant, summons or notice
shall toll the period of probation, conditional discharge,
supervision, or sentence of county impact incarceration until
the final determination of the charge, and the term of
probation, conditional discharge, supervision, or sentence of
county impact incarceration shall not run until the hearing
and disposition of the petition for violation.
(b) The court shall conduct a hearing of the alleged
violation. The court shall admit the offender to bail pretrial
release pending the hearing unless the alleged violation is
itself a criminal offense in which case the offender shall be
admitted to bail pretrial release on such terms as are
provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as
amended. In any case where an offender remains incarcerated
only as a result of his alleged violation of the court's
earlier order of probation, supervision, conditional
discharge, or county impact incarceration such hearing shall
be held within 14 days of the onset of said incarceration,
unless the alleged violation is the commission of another
offense by the offender during the period of probation,

HB4697 - 513 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
supervision or conditional discharge in which case such
hearing shall be held within the time limits described in
Section 103-5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as
amended.
(c) The State has the burden of going forward with the
evidence and proving the violation by the preponderance of the
evidence. The evidence shall be presented in open court with
the right of confrontation, cross-examination, and
representation by counsel.
(d) Probation, conditional discharge, periodic
imprisonment and supervision shall not be revoked for failure
to comply with conditions of a sentence or supervision, which
imposes financial obligations upon the offender unless such
failure is due to his willful refusal to pay.
(e) If the court finds that the offender has violated a
condition at any time prior to the expiration or termination
of the period, it may continue him on the existing sentence,
with or without modifying or enlarging the conditions, or may
impose any other sentence that was available under Article 4.5
of Chapter V of this Code or Section 11-501 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code at the time of initial sentencing. If the court
finds that the person has failed to successfully complete his
or her sentence to a county impact incarceration program, the
court may impose any other sentence that was available under
Article 4.5 of Chapter V of this Code or Section 11-501 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code at the time of initial sentencing,

HB4697 - 514 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

If the court finds that the offender has violated paragraph
(8.6) of subsection (a) of Section 5-6-3, the court shall
revoke the probation of the offender. If the court finds that
the offender has violated subsection (o) of Section 5-6-3.1,
the court shall revoke the supervision of the offender.
(f) The conditions of probation, of conditional discharge,
of supervision, or of a sentence of county impact
incarceration may be modified by the court on motion of the
supervising agency or on its own motion or at the request of
the offender after notice and a hearing.
(g) A judgment revoking supervision, probation,
conditional discharge, or a sentence of county impact
incarceration is a final appealable order.
(h) Resentencing after revocation of probation,
conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
impact incarceration shall be under Article 4. The term on
probation, conditional discharge or supervision shall not be
credited by the court against a sentence of imprisonment or
periodic imprisonment unless the court orders otherwise. The
amount of credit to be applied against a sentence of
imprisonment or periodic imprisonment when the defendant
served a term or partial term of periodic imprisonment shall
be calculated upon the basis of the actual days spent in
confinement rather than the duration of the term.
(i) Instead of filing a violation of probation,

HB4697 - 515 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
impact incarceration, an agent or employee of the supervising
agency with the concurrence of his or her supervisor may serve
on the defendant a Notice of Intermediate Sanctions. The
Notice shall contain the technical violation or violations
involved, the date or dates of the violation or violations,
and the intermediate sanctions to be imposed. Upon receipt of
the Notice, the defendant shall immediately accept or reject
the intermediate sanctions. If the sanctions are accepted,
they shall be imposed immediately. If the intermediate
sanctions are rejected or the defendant does not respond to
the Notice, a violation of probation, conditional discharge,
supervision, or a sentence of county impact incarceration
shall be immediately filed with the court. The State's
Attorney and the sentencing court shall be notified of the
Notice of Sanctions. Upon successful completion of the
intermediate sanctions, a court may not revoke probation,
conditional discharge, supervision, or a sentence of county
impact incarceration or impose additional sanctions for the
same violation. A notice of intermediate sanctions may not be
issued for any violation of probation, conditional discharge,
supervision, or a sentence of county impact incarceration
which could warrant an additional, separate felony charge. The
intermediate sanctions shall include a term of home detention
as provided in Article 8A of Chapter V of this Code for
multiple or repeat violations of the terms and conditions of a

HB4697 - 516 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision.
(j) When an offender is re-sentenced after revocation of
probation that was imposed in combination with a sentence of
imprisonment for the same offense, the aggregate of the
sentences may not exceed the maximum term authorized under
Article 4.5 of Chapter V.
(k)(1) On and after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 101st General Assembly, this subsection (k) shall
apply to arrest warrants in Cook County only. An arrest
warrant issued under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) when the
underlying conviction is for the offense of theft, retail
theft, or possession of a controlled substance shall remain
active for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date the
warrant was issued unless a motion to extend the warrant is
filed by the office of the State's Attorney or by, or on behalf
of, the agency supervising the wanted person. A motion to
extend the warrant shall be filed within one year before the
warrant expiration date and notice shall be provided to the
office of the sheriff.
(2) If a motion to extend a warrant issued under paragraph
(3) of subsection (a) is not filed, the warrant shall be
quashed and recalled as a matter of law under paragraph (1) of
this subsection (k) and the wanted person's period of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision shall
terminate unsatisfactorily as a matter of law.

revoked for failure to comply with the conditions of the
discharge or supervision which imposed financial obligations
upon the offender unless such failure is due to his wilful
refusal to pay.

condition at any time prior to the expiration or termination
of the period, it may continue him on the existing sentence or
supervision with or without modifying or enlarging the
conditions, or may impose any other sentence that was

placement on the waitlist for appropriate programs at the new
facility. The inability of any inmate to become engaged in any

infraction or cumulatively from multiple infractions arising
out of a single event, or when, during any 12-month period, the
cumulative amount of credit revoked exceeds 30 days except
where the infraction is committed or discovered within 60 days
of scheduled release. In those cases, the Department of
Corrections may revoke up to 30 days of sentence credit. The
Board may subsequently approve the revocation of additional
sentence credit, if the Department seeks to revoke sentence
credit in excess of 30 days. However, the Board shall not be
empowered to review the Department's decision with respect to
the loss of 30 days of sentence credit within any calendar year

federal court against the State, the Department of
Corrections, or the Prisoner Review Board, or against any of
their officers or employees, and the court makes a specific
finding that a pleading, motion, or other paper filed by the
prisoner is frivolous, the Department of Corrections shall
conduct a hearing to revoke up to 180 days of sentence credit
by bringing charges against the prisoner sought to be deprived
of the sentence credits before the Prisoner Review Board as
provided in subparagraph (a)(8) of Section 3-3-2 of this Code.
If the prisoner has not accumulated 180 days of sentence
credit at the time of the finding, then the Prisoner Review
Board may revoke all sentence credit accumulated by the
prisoner.

(730 ILCS 5/5-4-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-4-1)
Sec. 5-4-1. Sentencing hearing.
(a) After a determination of guilt, a hearing shall be
held to impose the sentence. However, prior to the imposition
of sentence on an individual being sentenced for an offense

HB4697 - 546 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
based upon a charge for a violation of Section 11-501 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, the individual must undergo a professional
evaluation to determine if an alcohol or other drug abuse
problem exists and the extent of such a problem. Programs
conducting these evaluations shall be licensed by the
Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is
not a resident of Illinois, the court may, in its discretion,
accept an evaluation from a program in the state of such
individual's residence. The court shall make a specific
finding about whether the defendant is eligible for
participation in a Department impact incarceration program as
provided in Section 5-8-1.1 or 5-8-1.3, and if not, provide an
explanation as to why a sentence to impact incarceration is
not an appropriate sentence. The court may in its sentencing
order recommend a defendant for placement in a Department of
Corrections substance abuse treatment program as provided in
paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of Section 3-2-2 conditioned
upon the defendant being accepted in a program by the
Department of Corrections. At the hearing the court shall:
(1) consider the evidence, if any, received upon the
trial;
(2) consider any presentence reports;
(3) consider the financial impact of incarceration
based on the financial impact statement filed with the
clerk of the court by the Department of Corrections;

HB4697 - 547 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(4) consider evidence and information offered by the
parties in aggravation and mitigation;
(4.5) consider substance abuse treatment, eligibility
screening, and an assessment, if any, of the defendant by
an agent designated by the State of Illinois to provide
assessment services for the Illinois courts;
(5) hear arguments as to sentencing alternatives;
(6) afford the defendant the opportunity to make a
statement in his own behalf;
(7) afford the victim of a violent crime or a
violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
or a similar provision of a local ordinance, the
opportunity to present an oral or written statement, as
guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the Illinois
Constitution and provided in Section 6 of the Rights of
Crime Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a
victim to make an oral statement if the victim is present
in the courtroom and requests to make an oral or written
statement. An oral or written statement includes the
victim or a representative of the victim reading the
written statement. The court may allow persons impacted by
the crime who are not victims under subsection (a) of
Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act
to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
person making an oral statement shall not be put under
oath or subject to cross-examination. All statements

HB4697 - 548 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
offered under this paragraph (7) shall become part of the
record of the court. In this paragraph (7), "victim of a
violent crime" means a person who is a victim of a violent
crime for which the defendant has been convicted after a
bench or jury trial or a person who is the victim of a
violent crime with which the defendant was charged and the
defendant has been convicted under a plea agreement of a
crime that is not a violent crime as defined in subsection
(c) of 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act;
(7.5) afford a qualified person affected by: (i) a
violation of Section 405, 405.1, 405.2, or 407 of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act or a violation of
Section 55 or Section 65 of the Methamphetamine Control
and Community Protection Act; or (ii) a Class 4 felony
violation of Section 11-14, 11-14.3 except as described in
subdivisions (a)(2)(A) and (a)(2)(B), 11-15, 11-17, 11-18,
11-18.1, or 11-19 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012, committed by the defendant the
opportunity to make a statement concerning the impact on
the qualified person and to offer evidence in aggravation
or mitigation; provided that the statement and evidence
offered in aggravation or mitigation shall first be
prepared in writing in conjunction with the State's
Attorney before it may be presented orally at the hearing.
Sworn testimony offered by the qualified person is subject
to the defendant's right to cross-examine. All statements

HB4697 - 549 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
and evidence offered under this paragraph (7.5) shall
become part of the record of the court. In this paragraph
(7.5), "qualified person" means any person who: (i) lived
or worked within the territorial jurisdiction where the
offense took place when the offense took place; or (ii) is
familiar with various public places within the territorial
jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
took place. "Qualified person" includes any peace officer
or any member of any duly organized State, county, or
municipal peace officer unit assigned to the territorial
jurisdiction where the offense took place when the offense
took place;
(8) in cases of reckless homicide afford the victim's
spouse, guardians, parents or other immediate family
members an opportunity to make oral statements;
(9) in cases involving a felony sex offense as defined
under the Sex Offender Management Board Act, consider the
results of the sex offender evaluation conducted pursuant
to Section 5-3-2 of this Act; and
(10) make a finding of whether a motor vehicle was
used in the commission of the offense for which the
defendant is being sentenced.
(b) All sentences shall be imposed by the judge based upon
his independent assessment of the elements specified above and
any agreement as to sentence reached by the parties. The judge
who presided at the trial or the judge who accepted the plea of

HB4697 - 550 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
guilty shall impose the sentence unless he is no longer
sitting as a judge in that court. Where the judge does not
impose sentence at the same time on all defendants who are
convicted as a result of being involved in the same offense,
the defendant or the State's Attorney may advise the
sentencing court of the disposition of any other defendants
who have been sentenced.
(b-1) In imposing a sentence of imprisonment or periodic
imprisonment for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony for which a
sentence of probation or conditional discharge is an available
sentence, if the defendant has no prior sentence of probation
or conditional discharge and no prior conviction for a violent
crime, the defendant shall not be sentenced to imprisonment
before review and consideration of a presentence report and
determination and explanation of why the particular evidence,
information, factor in aggravation, factual finding, or other
reasons support a sentencing determination that one or more of
the factors under subsection (a) of Section 5-6-1 of this Code
apply and that probation or conditional discharge is not an
appropriate sentence.
(c) In imposing a sentence for a violent crime or for an
offense of operating or being in physical control of a vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol, any other drug or any
combination thereof, or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, when such offense resulted in the personal injury
to someone other than the defendant, the trial judge shall

HB4697 - 551 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
specify on the record the particular evidence, information,
factors in mitigation and aggravation or other reasons that
led to his sentencing determination. The full verbatim record
of the sentencing hearing shall be filed with the clerk of the
court and shall be a public record.
(c-1) In imposing a sentence for the offense of aggravated
kidnapping for ransom, home invasion, armed robbery,
aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a
firearm, or armed violence with a category I weapon or
category II weapon, the trial judge shall make a finding as to
whether the conduct leading to conviction for the offense
resulted in great bodily harm to a victim, and shall enter that
finding and the basis for that finding in the record.
(c-1.5) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of
law to the contrary, in imposing a sentence for an offense that
requires a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment, the
court may instead sentence the offender to probation,
conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment it
deems appropriate if: (1) the offense involves the use or
possession of drugs, retail theft, or driving on a revoked
license due to unpaid financial obligations; (2) the court
finds that the defendant does not pose a risk to public safety;
and (3) the interest of justice requires imposing a term of
probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of
imprisonment. The court must state on the record its reasons
for imposing probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser

HB4697 - 552 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
term of imprisonment.
(c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
when a sentence of natural life imprisonment is imposed, at
the time the sentence is imposed the judge shall state on the
record in open court the approximate period of time the
defendant will serve in custody according to the then current
statutory rules and regulations for sentence credit found in
Section 3-6-3 and other related provisions of this Code. This
statement is intended solely to inform the public, has no
legal effect on the defendant's actual release, and may not be
relied on by the defendant on appeal.
The judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
sentence, other than when the sentence is imposed for one of
the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(4) of Section 3-6-3,
shall include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional

HB4697 - 553 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each
day of participation in vocational, industry, substance abuse,
and educational programs as provided for by Illinois statute."
When the sentence is imposed for one of the offenses
enumerated in paragraph (a)(2) of Section 3-6-3, other than
first degree murder, and the offense was committed on or after
June 19, 1998, and when the sentence is imposed for reckless
homicide as defined in subsection (e) of Section 9-3 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the
offense was committed on or after January 1, 1999, and when the
sentence is imposed for aggravated driving under the influence
of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination thereof as defined in
subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and when the sentence is
imposed for aggravated arson if the offense was committed on
or after July 27, 2001 (the effective date of Public Act
92-176), and when the sentence is imposed for aggravated
driving under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
or intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
thereof as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of
subsection (d) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
committed on or after January 1, 2011 (the effective date of
Public Act 96-1230), the judge's statement, to be given after

HB4697 - 554 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
pronouncing the sentence, shall include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least
85% of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4
1/2 days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the
period of estimated actual custody is ... years and ...
months. If the defendant, because of his or her own misconduct
or failure to comply with the institutional regulations
receives lesser credit, the actual time served in prison will
be longer."
When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first
degree murder and the offense was committed on or after June
19, 1998, the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing
the sentence, shall include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of

HB4697 - 555 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant is not entitled to sentence credit.
Therefore, this defendant will serve 100% of his or her
sentence."
When the sentencing order recommends placement in a
substance abuse program for any offense that results in
incarceration in a Department of Corrections facility and the
crime was committed on or after September 1, 2003 (the
effective date of Public Act 93-354), the judge's statement,
in addition to any other judge's statement required under this
Section, to be given after pronouncing the sentence, shall
include the following:
"The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois
as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
case, the defendant shall receive no earned sentence credit
under clause (3) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3 until he or
she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections
pursuant to clause (4.5) of subsection (a) of Section 3-6-3."
(c-4) Before the sentencing hearing and as part of the
presentence investigation under Section 5-3-1, the court shall
inquire of the defendant whether the defendant is currently

HB4697 - 556 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
serving in or is a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United
States. If the defendant is currently serving in the Armed
Forces of the United States or is a veteran of the Armed Forces
of the United States and has been diagnosed as having a mental
illness by a qualified psychiatrist or clinical psychologist
or physician, the court may:
(1) order that the officer preparing the presentence
report consult with the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs, Illinois Department of Veterans'
Affairs, or another agency or person with suitable
knowledge or experience for the purpose of providing the
court with information regarding treatment options
available to the defendant, including federal, State, and
local programming; and
(2) consider the treatment recommendations of any
diagnosing or treating mental health professionals
together with the treatment options available to the
defendant in imposing sentence.
For the purposes of this subsection (c-4), "qualified
psychiatrist" means a reputable physician licensed in Illinois
to practice medicine in all its branches, who has specialized
in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and nervous disorders
for a period of not less than 5 years.
(c-6) In imposing a sentence, the trial judge shall
specify, on the record, the particular evidence and other
reasons which led to his or her determination that a motor

HB4697 - 557 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
vehicle was used in the commission of the offense.
(c-7) (Blank). In imposing a sentence for a Class 3 or 4
felony, other than a violent crime as defined in Section 3 of
the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, the court shall
determine and indicate in the sentencing order whether the
defendant has 4 or more or fewer than 4 months remaining on his
or her sentence accounting for time served.
(d) When the defendant is committed to the Department of
Corrections, the State's Attorney shall and counsel for the
defendant may file a statement with the clerk of the court to
be transmitted to the department, agency or institution to
which the defendant is committed to furnish such department,
agency or institution with the facts and circumstances of the
offense for which the person was committed together with all
other factual information accessible to them in regard to the
person prior to his commitment relative to his habits,
associates, disposition and reputation and any other facts and
circumstances which may aid such department, agency or
institution during its custody of such person. The clerk shall
within 10 days after receiving any such statements transmit a
copy to such department, agency or institution and a copy to
the other party, provided, however, that this shall not be
cause for delay in conveying the person to the department,
agency or institution to which he has been committed.
(e) The clerk of the court shall transmit to the
department, agency or institution, if any, to which the

HB4697 - 558 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
defendant is committed, the following:
(1) the sentence imposed;
(2) any statement by the court of the basis for
imposing the sentence;
(3) any presentence reports;
(3.3) the person's last known complete street address
prior to incarceration or legal residence, the person's
race, whether the person is of Hispanic or Latino origin,
and whether the person is 18 years of age or older;
(3.5) any sex offender evaluations;
(3.6) any substance abuse treatment eligibility
screening and assessment of the defendant by an agent
designated by the State of Illinois to provide assessment
services for the Illinois courts;
(4) the number of days, if any, which the defendant
has been in custody and for which he is entitled to credit
against the sentence, which information shall be provided
to the clerk by the sheriff;
(4.1) any finding of great bodily harm made by the
court with respect to an offense enumerated in subsection
(c-1);
(5) all statements filed under subsection (d) of this
Section;
(6) any medical or mental health records or summaries
of the defendant;
(7) the municipality where the arrest of the offender

HB4697 - 559 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
or the commission of the offense has occurred, where such
municipality has a population of more than 25,000 persons;
(8) all statements made and evidence offered under
paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of this Section; and
(9) all additional matters which the court directs the
clerk to transmit.
(f) In cases in which the court finds that a motor vehicle
was used in the commission of the offense for which the
defendant is being sentenced, the clerk of the court shall,
within 5 days thereafter, forward a report of such conviction
to the Secretary of State.

aggravated kidnapping, or first degree murder, and who is
thereafter convicted of a Class X felony, criminal sexual
assault, or first degree murder, committed after the 2
prior convictions, shall be adjudged an habitual criminal.

HB4697 - 560 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(2) The 2 prior convictions need not have been for the
same offense.
(3) Any convictions that result from or are connected
with the same transaction, or result from offenses
committed at the same time, shall be counted for the

following requirements are satisfied:
(A) The third offense was committed after July 3,
1980.
(B) The third offense was committed within 20
years of the date that judgment was entered on the
first conviction; provided, however, that time spent

conviction on the first offense.
(E) (Blank). The first offense was committed when

HB4697 - 561 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
conviction shall be presented to the court or the jury
during the trial of an offense set forth in this Section
unless otherwise permitted by the issues properly raised
in that trial. After a plea or verdict or finding of guilty
and before sentence is imposed, the prosecutor may file
with the court a verified written statement signed by the
State's Attorney concerning any former conviction of an
offense set forth in this Section rendered against the
defendant. The court shall then cause the defendant to be
brought before it; shall inform the defendant of the
allegations of the statement so filed, and of his or her
right to a hearing before the court on the issue of that
former conviction and of his or her right to counsel at
that hearing; and unless the defendant admits such

facie evidence of that release or discharge.
(8) Any claim that a previous conviction offered by
the prosecution is not a former conviction of an offense
set forth in this Section because of the existence of any
exceptions described in this Section, is waived unless
duly raised at the hearing on that conviction, or unless
the prosecution's proof shows the existence of the
exceptions described in this Section.
(9) If the person so convicted shows to the
satisfaction of the court before whom that conviction was
had that he or she was released from imprisonment, upon
either of the sentences upon a pardon granted for the
reason that he or she was innocent, that conviction and
sentence shall not be considered under this Section.

specified in Section 3-6-3 (730 ILCS 5/3-6-3). Except when
prohibited by subsection (d-5), the The trial court shall give
credit to the defendant for time spent in home detention on the
same sentencing terms as incarceration as provided in Section
5-8A-3 (730 ILCS 5/5-8A-3). Home detention for purposes of
credit includes restrictions on liberty such as curfews
restricting movement for 12 hours or more per day and
electronic monitoring that restricts travel or movement.
Electronic monitoring is not required for home detention to be
considered custodial for purposes of sentencing credit. The

days spent confined for psychiatric or substance abuse
treatment prior to judgment, if the court finds that the
detention or confinement was custodial.
(c) CREDIT; TIME IN CUSTODY; FORMER CHARGE. An offender
arrested on one charge and prosecuted on another charge for
conduct that occurred prior to his or her arrest shall be given
credit on the determinate sentence or maximum term and the

of an offense committed while on parole, mandatory supervised
release, or probation shall not be given credit for time spent
in custody under subsection (b) for that offense for any time
spent in custody as a result of a revocation of parole,
mandatory supervised release, or probation where such
revocation is based on a sentence imposed for a previous
conviction, regardless of the facts upon which the revocation
of parole, mandatory supervised release, or probation is
based, unless both the State and the defendant agree that the
time served for a violation of mandatory supervised release,
parole, or probation shall be credited towards the sentence

use of a firearm; mandatory supervised release terms.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in the statute defining
the offense or in Article 4.5 of Chapter V, a sentence of

factors listed in subparagraph (b-5) are present, the
court may sentence the defendant, subject to Section

these felonies may be served consecutively regardless of
the order in which the judgments of conviction are
entered.
(4) If a person commits a battery against a county
correctional officer or sheriff's employee while serving a
sentence or in pretrial detention in a county jail

conviction of a felony commits a separate felony while
released pretrial or if a person detained in a county jail

county jail or while in pretrial detention, regardless of
the order in which the judgments of conviction are
entered.
(7) If a person is sentenced for a violation of a
condition of pretrial release under Section 32-10 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, any
sentence imposed for that violation may be served

not exceed the highest minimum term authorized under
Section 5-8-1 (730 ILCS 5/5-8-1) or Article 4.5 of Chapter
V for the 2 most serious felonies involved. When sentenced
only for misdemeanors, a defendant shall not be
consecutively sentenced to more than the maximum for one

HB4697 - 591 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
shall not exceed the sum of the maximum terms authorized
under Article 4.5 of Chapter V for the 2 most serious

imposed determinate sentences for felonies, plus the
aggregate of the imposed determinate sentences for
misdemeanors, subject to subsection (f) of this Section.

aggregate of the minimum and determinate periods of
imprisonment imposed by the court, subject to subsection
(f) of this Section.
(4) The defendant shall be awarded credit against the
aggregate maximum term and the aggregate minimum term of
imprisonment for all time served in an institution since
the commission of the offense or offenses and as a
consequence thereof at the rate specified in Section 3-6-3
(730 ILCS 5/3-6-3).

Sec. 10-106. Grant of relief - Penalty. Unless it shall
appear from the complaint itself, or from the documents
thereto annexed, that the party can neither be discharged,
admitted to bail pretrial release nor otherwise relieved, the
court shall forthwith award relief by habeas corpus. Any judge
empowered to grant relief by habeas corpus who shall corruptly
refuse to grant the relief when legally applied for in a case
where it may lawfully be granted, or who shall for the purpose

Sec. 10-125. New commitment. In all cases where the
imprisonment is for a criminal, or supposed criminal matter,
if it appears to the court that there is sufficient legal cause
for the commitment of the prisoner, although such commitment

the process may have been executed by a person not duly
authorized, the court shall make a new commitment in proper
form, and direct it to the proper officer, or admit the party
to bail pretrial release if the case is bailable eligible for
pretrial release. The court shall also, when necessary, take
the recognizance of all material witnesses against the
prisoner, as in other cases. The recognizances shall be in the
form provided by law, and returned as other recognizances. If
any judge shall neglect or refuse to bind any such prisoner or
witness by recognizance, or to return a recognizance when
taken as hereinabove stated, he or she shall be guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor in office, and be proceeded against
accordingly.

the offense is not bailable eligible for pretrial release, or

prisoner fails to give the bail required comply with the terms
of pretrial release.

of court on which the petition is to be heard and the name
sought to be assumed.

custody of the child. If any of these persons are outside this
State, notice and opportunity to be heard shall be given under

(b-5) The court may issue an order directing that the
notice and publication requirement be waived for a change of
name involving a person who files with the court a statement,
verified under oath as provided under Section 1-109 of this
Code, that the person believes that publishing notice of the
name change would be a hardship, including, but not limited
to, a negative impact on the person's health or safety.
(b-6) In a case where waiver of the notice and publication
requirement is sought, the petition for waiver is presumed
granted and heard at the same hearing as the petition for name
change. The court retains discretion to determine whether a
hardship is shown and may order the petitioner to publish
thereafter.
(c) The Director of the Illinois State Police or his or her
designee may apply to the circuit court for an order directing
that the notice and publication requirements of this Section
be waived if the Director or his or her designee certifies that
the name change being sought is intended to protect a witness
during and following a criminal investigation or proceeding.
(c-1) The court may also enter a written order waiving the
publication requirement of subsection (a) if:
(i) the petitioner is 18 years of age or older; and
(ii) concurrent with the petition, the petitioner

HB4697 - 617 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
files with the court a statement, verified under oath as
provided under Section 1-109 of this Code, attesting that

another state or jurisdiction.
The petitioner may attach to the statement any supporting
documents, including relevant court orders.
(c-2) If the petitioner files a statement attesting that
disclosure of the petitioner's address would put the
petitioner or any member of the petitioner's family or
household at risk or reveal the confidential address of a
shelter for domestic violence victims, that address may be
omitted from all documents filed with the court, and the
petitioner may designate an alternative address for service.
(c-3) Court administrators may allow domestic abuse
advocates, rape crisis advocates, and victim advocates to
assist petitioners in the preparation of name changes under
subsection (c-1).
(c-4) If the publication requirements of subsection (a)
have been waived, the circuit court shall enter an order
impounding the case.

(1) remedies described in Section 213 and included in
a civil no contact order; or
(2) a provision of an order, which is substantially
similar to provisions of Section 213, in a valid civil no
contact order which is authorized under the laws of
another state, tribe, or United States territory.
Prosecution for a violation of a civil no contact order
shall not bar a concurrent prosecution for any other crime,
including any crime that may have been committed at the time of

the venue provisions of this Act.
(1) In a contempt proceeding where the petition for a
rule to show cause or petition for adjudication of
criminal contempt sets forth facts evidencing an immediate
danger that the respondent will flee the jurisdiction or
inflict physical abuse on the petitioner or minor children

imprisonment for respondent's first violation of any
civil no contact order; and

violation of a civil no contact order, a criminal court
may consider evidence of any previous violations of a
civil no contact order:

conditions of pretrial release on an underlying

Section 350. The Unemployment Insurance Act is amended by
changing Section 602 as follows:
(820 ILCS 405/602) (from Ch. 48, par. 432)
Sec. 602. Discharge for misconduct - Felony.
A. An individual shall be ineligible for benefits for the
week in which he has been discharged for misconduct connected
with his work and, thereafter, until he has become reemployed
and has had earnings equal to or in excess of his current
weekly benefit amount in each of four calendar weeks which are
either for services in employment, or have been or will be
reported pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act by each employing unit for which such
services are performed and which submits a statement
certifying to that fact. The requalification requirements of
the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied,
as of the date of reinstatement, if, subsequent to his
discharge by an employing unit for misconduct connected with
his work, such individual is reinstated by such employing
unit. For purposes of this subsection, the term "misconduct"
means the deliberate and willful violation of a reasonable

HB4697 - 633 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
rule or policy of the employing unit, governing the
individual's behavior in performance of his work, provided
such violation has harmed the employing unit or other
employees or has been repeated by the individual despite a
warning or other explicit instruction from the employing unit.
The previous definition notwithstanding, "misconduct" shall
include any of the following work-related circumstances:
1. Falsification of an employment application, or any
other documentation provided to the employer, to obtain
employment through subterfuge.
2. Failure to maintain licenses, registrations, and
certifications reasonably required by the employer, or
those that the individual is required to possess by law,
to perform his or her regular job duties, unless the
failure is not within the control of the individual.
3. Knowing, repeated violation of the attendance
policies of the employer that are in compliance with State
and federal law following a written warning for an
attendance violation, unless the individual can
demonstrate that he or she has made a reasonable effort to
remedy the reason or reasons for the violations or that
the reason or reasons for the violations were out of the
individual's control. Attendance policies of the employer
shall be reasonable and provided to the individual in
writing, electronically, or via posting in the workplace.
4. Damaging the employer's property through conduct

HB4697 - 634 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
that is grossly negligent.
5. Refusal to obey an employer's reasonable and lawful
instruction, unless the refusal is due to the lack of
ability, skills, or training for the individual required
to obey the instruction or the instruction would result in
an unsafe act.
6. Consuming alcohol or illegal or non-prescribed
prescription drugs, or using an impairing substance in an
off-label manner, on the employer's premises during
working hours in violation of the employer's policies.
7. Reporting to work under the influence of alcohol,
illegal or non-prescribed prescription drugs, or an
impairing substance used in an off-label manner in
violation of the employer's policies, unless the
individual is compelled to report to work by the employer
outside of scheduled and on-call working hours and informs
the employer that he or she is under the influence of
alcohol, illegal or non-prescribed prescription drugs, or
an impairing substance used in an off-label manner in
violation of the employer's policies.
8. Grossly negligent conduct endangering the safety of
the individual or co-workers.
For purposes of paragraphs 4 and 8, conduct is "grossly
negligent" when the individual is, or reasonably should be,
aware of a substantial risk that the conduct will result in the
harm sought to be prevented and the conduct constitutes a

HB4697 - 635 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
substantial deviation from the standard of care a reasonable
person would exercise in the situation.
Nothing in paragraph 6 or 7 prohibits the lawful use of
over-the-counter drug products as defined in Section 206 of
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, provided that the
medication does not affect the safe performance of the
employee's work duties.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no
benefit rights shall accrue to any individual based upon wages
from any employer for service rendered prior to the day upon
which such individual was discharged because of the commission
of a felony in connection with his work, or because of theft in
connection with his work, for which the employer was in no way
responsible; provided, that the employer notified the Director
of such possible ineligibility within the time limits
specified by regulations of the Director, and that the
individual has admitted his commission of the felony or theft
to a representative of the Director, or has signed a written
admission of such act and such written admission has been
presented to a representative of the Director, or such act has
resulted in a conviction or order of supervision by a court of
competent jurisdiction; and provided further, that if by
reason of such act, he is in legal custody, held on bail
pretrial release or is a fugitive from justice, the
determination of his benefit rights shall be held in abeyance
pending the result of any legal proceedings arising therefrom.

Section 370. The Freedom of Information Act is amended by
changing Sections 7 and 7.5 as follows:
(5 ILCS 140/7)
Sec. 7. Exemptions.
(1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
record that contains information that is exempt from

HB4697 - 646 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
to redact the information that is exempt. The public body
shall make the remaining information available for inspection
and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
be exempt from inspection and copying:
(a) Information specifically prohibited from
disclosure by federal or State law or rules and

clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of

reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in

obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
that bears on the public duties of public employees and
officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
privacy.

created in the course of administrative enforcement
proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the
extent that disclosure would:

conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
agency that is the recipient of the request;
(ii) interfere with active administrative
enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body
that is the recipient of the request;
(iii) create a substantial likelihood that a
person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial
hearing;
(iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a
confidential source, confidential information
furnished only by the confidential source, or persons

administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or

witnesses to traffic crashes, traffic crash reports,

HB4697 - 648 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
and rescue reports shall be provided by agencies of
local government, except when disclosure would
interfere with an active criminal investigation
conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the
request;
(v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
techniques other than those generally used and known
or disclose internal documents of correctional
agencies related to detection, observation, or
investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and
disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the
agency or public body that is the recipient of the
request;
(vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law
enforcement personnel or any other person; or
(vii) obstruct an ongoing criminal investigation
by the agency that is the recipient of the request.
(d-5) A law enforcement record created for law
enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic

access to the record through the shared electronic record
management system.

award or final selection is made.

news media as defined in Section 2 of this Act when the

HB4697 - 653 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
requested information is not otherwise exempt and the only

pertaining to law enforcement officers or any applicant to a
Board certified basic law enforcement academy as described in
this Act based on fingerprint identification. The Board must
make payment of fees to the Illinois State Police for each

Administrative Code of Illinois.
A police officer who has been certified or granted a valid
waiver shall also be decertified or have his or her waiver
revoked upon a determination by the Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel that he or she, while under oath, has
knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a material
fact going to an element of the offense of murder. If an appeal
is filed, the determination shall be stayed.
(1) In the case of an acquittal on a charge of murder,
a verified complaint may be filed:
(A) by the defendant; or
(B) by a police officer with personal knowledge of
perjured testimony.
The complaint must allege that a police officer, while

HB4697 - 718 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements
as to a material fact going to an element of the offense of
murder. The verified complaint must be filed with the
Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement
Training Standards Board within 2 years of the judgment of
acquittal.
(2) Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the
Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall
review the verified complaint and determine whether the
verified complaint is frivolous and without merit, or
whether further investigation is warranted. The Illinois
Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall notify the
officer and the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel of the filing of the complaint
and any action taken thereon. If the Executive Director of
the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board
determines that the verified complaint is frivolous and
without merit, it shall be dismissed. The Executive
Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
Standards Board has sole discretion to make this
determination and this decision is not subject to appeal.
If the Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement
Training Standards Board determines that the verified
complaint warrants further investigation, he or she shall
refer the matter to a task force of investigators created for
this purpose. This task force shall consist of 8 sworn police

HB4697 - 719 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
officers: 2 from the Illinois State Police, 2 from the City of
Chicago Police Department, 2 from county police departments,
and 2 from municipal police departments. These investigators
shall have a minimum of 5 years of experience in conducting
criminal investigations. The investigators shall be appointed
by the Executive Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement
Training Standards Board. Any officer or officers acting in
this capacity pursuant to this statutory provision will have
statewide police authority while acting in this investigative
capacity. Their salaries and expenses for the time spent
conducting investigations under this paragraph shall be
reimbursed by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards
Board.
Once the Executive Director of the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training Standards Board has determined that an
investigation is warranted, the verified complaint shall be
assigned to an investigator or investigators. The investigator
or investigators shall conduct an investigation of the
verified complaint and shall write a report of his or her
findings. This report shall be submitted to the Executive
Director of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel.
Within 30 days, the Executive Director of the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel shall review the
investigative report and determine whether sufficient evidence
exists to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the verified
complaint. If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor

HB4697 - 720 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Relations Board State Panel determines upon his or her review
of the investigatory report that a hearing should not be
conducted, the complaint shall be dismissed. This decision is
in the Executive Director's sole discretion, and this
dismissal may not be appealed.
If the Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel determines that there is sufficient evidence
to warrant a hearing, a hearing shall be ordered on the
verified complaint, to be conducted by an administrative law
judge employed by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
Panel. The Executive Director of the Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel shall inform the Executive Director of the
Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
person who filed the complaint of either the dismissal of the
complaint or the issuance of the complaint for hearing. The
Executive Director shall assign the complaint to the
administrative law judge within 30 days of the decision
granting a hearing.
In the case of a finding of guilt on the offense of murder,
if a new trial is granted on direct appeal, or a state
post-conviction evidentiary hearing is ordered, based on a
claim that a police officer, under oath, knowingly and
willfully made false statements as to a material fact going to
an element of the offense of murder, the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel shall hold a hearing to determine
whether the officer should be decertified if an interested

HB4697 - 721 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
party requests such a hearing within 2 years of the court's
decision. The complaint shall be assigned to an administrative
law judge within 30 days so that a hearing can be scheduled.
At the hearing, the accused officer shall be afforded the
opportunity to:
(1) Be represented by counsel of his or her own
choosing;
(2) Be heard in his or her own defense;
(3) Produce evidence in his or her defense;
(4) Request that the Illinois Labor Relations Board
State Panel compel the attendance of witnesses and
production of related documents including but not limited
to court documents and records.
Once a case has been set for hearing, the verified
complaint shall be referred to the Department of Professional
Regulation. That office shall prosecute the verified complaint
at the hearing before the administrative law judge. The
Department of Professional Regulation shall have the
opportunity to produce evidence to support the verified
complaint and to request the Illinois Labor Relations Board
State Panel to compel the attendance of witnesses and the
production of related documents, including, but not limited
to, court documents and records. The Illinois Labor Relations
Board State Panel shall have the power to issue subpoenas
requiring the attendance of and testimony of witnesses and the
production of related documents including, but not limited to,

HB4697 - 722 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
court documents and records and shall have the power to
administer oaths.
The administrative law judge shall have the responsibility
of receiving into evidence relevant testimony and documents,
including court records, to support or disprove the
allegations made by the person filing the verified complaint
and, at the close of the case, hear arguments. If the
administrative law judge finds that there is not clear and
convincing evidence to support the verified complaint that the
police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and willfully
made false statements as to a material fact going to an element
of the offense of murder, the administrative law judge shall
make a written recommendation of dismissal to the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel. If the administrative law
judge finds that there is clear and convincing evidence that
the police officer has, while under oath, knowingly and
willfully made false statements as to a material fact that
goes to an element of the offense of murder, the
administrative law judge shall make a written recommendation
so concluding to the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
Panel. The hearings shall be transcribed. The Executive
Director of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards
Board shall be informed of the administrative law judge's
recommended findings and decision and the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel's subsequent review of the
recommendation.

HB4697 - 723 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
An officer named in any complaint filed pursuant to this
Act shall be indemnified for his or her reasonable attorney's
fees and costs by his or her employer. These fees shall be paid
in a regular and timely manner. The State, upon application by
the public employer, shall reimburse the public employer for
the accused officer's reasonable attorney's fees and costs. At
no time and under no circumstances will the accused officer be
required to pay his or her own reasonable attorney's fees or
costs.
The accused officer shall not be placed on unpaid status
because of the filing or processing of the verified complaint
until there is a final non-appealable order sustaining his or
her guilt and his or her certification is revoked. Nothing in
this Act, however, restricts the public employer from pursuing
discipline against the officer in the normal course and under
procedures then in place.
The Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall
review the administrative law judge's recommended decision and
order and determine by a majority vote whether or not there was
clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while
under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as
to a material fact going to the offense of murder. Within 30
days of service of the administrative law judge's recommended
decision and order, the parties may file exceptions to the
recommended decision and order and briefs in support of their
exceptions with the Illinois Labor Relations Board State

HB4697 - 724 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Panel. The parties may file responses to the exceptions and
briefs in support of the responses no later than 15 days after
the service of the exceptions. If exceptions are filed by any
of the parties, the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel
shall review the matter and make a finding to uphold, vacate,
or modify the recommended decision and order. If the Illinois
Labor Relations Board State Panel concludes that there is
clear and convincing evidence that the accused officer, while
under oath, knowingly and willfully made false statements as
to a material fact going to an element of the offense murder,
the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel shall inform
the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board and the
Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall revoke
the accused officer's certification. If the accused officer
appeals that determination to the Appellate Court, as provided
by this Act, he or she may petition the Appellate Court to stay
the revocation of his or her certification pending the court's
review of the matter.
None of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State Panel's
findings or determinations shall set any precedent in any of
its decisions decided pursuant to the Illinois Public Labor
Relations Act by the Illinois Labor Relations Board State
Panel or the courts.
A party aggrieved by the final order of the Illinois Labor
Relations Board State Panel may apply for and obtain judicial
review of an order of the Illinois Labor Relations Board State

HB4697 - 725 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
Panel, in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative
Review Law, except that such judicial review shall be afforded
directly in the Appellate Court for the district in which the
accused officer resides. Any direct appeal to the Appellate
Court shall be filed within 35 days from the date that a copy
of the decision sought to be reviewed was served upon the party
affected by the decision.
Interested parties. Only interested parties to the
criminal prosecution in which the police officer allegedly,
while under oath, knowingly and willfully made false
statements as to a material fact going to an element of the
offense of murder may file a verified complaint pursuant to
this Section. For purposes of this Section, "interested
parties" shall be limited to the defendant and any police
officer who has personal knowledge that the police officer who
is the subject of the complaint has, while under oath,
knowingly and willfully made false statements as to a material
fact going to an element of the offense of murder.
Semi-annual reports. The Executive Director of the
Illinois Labor Relations Board shall submit semi-annual
reports to the Governor, President, and Minority Leader of the
Senate, and to the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of
Representatives beginning on June 30, 2004, indicating:
(1) the number of verified complaints received since
the date of the last report;
(2) the number of investigations initiated since the

last report; and
(6) the number of officers decertified since the date
of the last report.

and records to ensure that no law enforcement officer is
certified or provided a valid waiver if that law enforcement
officer has been convicted of, found guilty of, entered a plea
of guilty to, or entered a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony
offense under the laws of this State or any other state which
if committed in this State would be punishable as a felony. The
Board must also ensure that no law enforcement officer is
certified or provided a valid waiver if that law enforcement
officer has been convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a
plea of guilty to, on or after January 1, 2022 (the effective
date of Public Act 101-652) of any misdemeanor specified in
this Section or if committed in any other state would be an
offense similar to Section 11-1.50, 11-6, 11-6.5, 11-6.6,
11-9.1, 11-9.1B, 11-14, 11-14.1, 11-30, 12-2, 12-3.2, 12-3.4,
12-3.5, 16-1, 17-1, 17-2, 26.5-1, 26.5-2, 26.5-3, 28-3, 29-1,
any misdemeanor in violation of any Section of Part E of Title

HB4697 - 727 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
III of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
or subsection (a) of Section 17-32 of the Criminal Code of 1961
or the Criminal Code of 2012, or to Section 5 or 5.2 of the
Cannabis Control Act, or any felony or misdemeanor in
violation of federal law or the law of any state that is the
equivalent of any of the offenses specified therein. The Board
must appoint investigators to enforce the duties conferred
upon the Board by this Act.
(a-1) For purposes of this Section, a person is "convicted
of, or entered a plea of guilty to, plea of nolo contendere to,
found guilty of" regardless of whether the adjudication of
guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered thereon. This
includes sentences of supervision, conditional discharge, or
first offender probation, or any similar disposition provided
for by law.
(b) It is the responsibility of the sheriff or the chief
executive officer of every law enforcement agency or
department within this State to report to the Board any
arrest, conviction, finding of guilt, plea of guilty, or plea
of nolo contendere to, of any officer for an offense
identified in this Section, regardless of whether the
adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered
thereon, this includes sentences of supervision, conditional
discharge, or first offender probation.
(c) It is the duty and responsibility of every full-time
and part-time law enforcement officer in this State to report

HB4697 - 728 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
to the Board within 14 days, and the officer's sheriff or chief
executive officer, of the officer's arrest, conviction, found
guilty of, or plea of guilty for an offense identified in this
Section. Any full-time or part-time law enforcement officer
who knowingly makes, submits, causes to be submitted, or files
a false or untruthful report to the Board must have the
officer's certificate or waiver immediately decertified or
revoked.
(d) Any person, or a local or State agency, or the Board is
immune from liability for submitting, disclosing, or releasing
information of arrests, convictions, or pleas of guilty in
this Section as long as the information is submitted,
disclosed, or released in good faith and without malice. The
Board has qualified immunity for the release of the
information.
(e) Any full-time or part-time law enforcement officer
with a certificate or waiver issued by the Board who is
convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty to,
or entered a plea of nolo contendere to any offense described
in this Section immediately becomes decertified or no longer
has a valid waiver. The decertification and invalidity of
waivers occurs as a matter of law. Failure of a convicted
person to report to the Board the officer's conviction as
described in this Section or any continued law enforcement
practice after receiving a conviction is a Class 4 felony.
For purposes of this Section, a person is considered to

HB4697 - 729 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
have been "convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of
guilty to, plea of nolo contendere to" regardless of whether
the adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not
entered thereon, including sentences of supervision,
conditional discharge, first offender probation, or any
similar disposition as provided for by law.
(f) The Board's investigators shall be law enforcement
officers as defined in Section 2 of this Act. The Board shall
not waive the training requirement unless the investigator has
had a minimum of 5 years experience as a sworn officer of a
local, State, or federal law enforcement agency. An
investigator shall not have been terminated for good cause,
decertified, had his or her law enforcement license or
certificate revoked in this or any other jurisdiction, or been
convicted of any of the conduct listed in subsection (a). Any
complaint filed against the Board's investigators shall be
investigated by the Illinois State Police.
(g) The Board must request and receive information and
assistance from any federal, state, local, or private
enforcement agency as part of the authorized criminal
background investigation. The Illinois State Police must
process, retain, and additionally provide and disseminate
information to the Board concerning criminal charges, arrests,
convictions, and their disposition, that have been filed
against a basic academy applicant, law enforcement applicant,
or law enforcement officer whose fingerprint identification

HB4697 - 730 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b

The Federal Bureau of Investigation must provide the Board any
criminal history record information contained in its files
pertaining to law enforcement officers or any applicant to a
Board certified basic law enforcement academy as described in
this Act based on fingerprint identification. The Board must
make payment of fees to the Illinois State Police for each
fingerprint card submission in conformance with the
requirements of paragraph 22 of Section 55a of the Civil
Administrative Code of Illinois.
(g-5) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, the changes to this Section made by this amendatory
Act of the 102nd General Assembly and Public Act 101-652 shall
apply prospectively only from July 1, 2022.

Board shall annually review police pursuit procedures and make
available suggested police law enforcement pursuit guidelines
for law enforcement agencies. This Section does not alter the

effect of previously existing law, including the immunities
established under the Local Governmental and Governmental
Employees Tort Immunity Act.

a limitation on home rule powers under subsection (i) of
Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
(Source: P.A. 101-652, eff. 1-1-22.)
(50 ILCS 705/8.1) (from Ch. 85, par. 508.1)
Sec. 8.1. Full-time police law enforcement and county
corrections officers.
(a) After January 1, 1976, no person shall receive a
permanent appointment as a law enforcement officer as defined
in this Act nor shall any person receive, after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1984, a permanent appointment
as a county corrections officer unless that person has been
awarded, within 6 months of his or her initial full-time
employment, a certificate attesting to his or her successful
completion of the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement and
County Correctional Training Course as prescribed by the
Board; or has been awarded a certificate attesting to his or

HB4697 - 739 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
her satisfactory completion of a training program of similar
content and number of hours and which course has been found
acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or by
reason of extensive prior law enforcement or county
corrections experience the basic training requirement is
determined by the Board to be illogical and unreasonable.
If such training is required and not completed within the
applicable 6 months, then the officer must forfeit his or her
position, or the employing agency must obtain a waiver from
the Board extending the period for compliance. Such waiver
shall be issued only for good and justifiable reasons, and in
no case shall extend more than 90 days beyond the initial 6
months. Any hiring agency that fails to train a law
enforcement officer within this period shall be prohibited
from employing this individual in a law enforcement capacity
for one year from the date training was to be completed. If an
agency again fails to train the individual a second time, the
agency shall be permanently barred from employing this
individual in a law enforcement capacity.
(b) No provision of this Section shall be construed to
mean that a law enforcement officer employed by a local
governmental agency at the time of the effective date of this
amendatory Act, either as a probationary police officer or as
a permanent police officer, shall require certification under
the provisions of this Section. No provision of this Section
shall be construed to mean that a county corrections officer

HB4697 - 740 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
employed by a local governmental agency at the time of the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1984, either as a
probationary county corrections or as a permanent county
corrections officer, shall require certification under the
provisions of this Section. No provision of this Section shall
be construed to apply to certification of elected county
sheriffs.
(c) This Section does not apply to part-time police
officers or probationary part-time police officers.
(a) No person shall receive a permanent appointment as a
law enforcement officer or a permanent appointment as a county
corrections officer unless that person has been awarded,
within 6 months of the officer's initial full-time employment,
a certificate attesting to the officer's successful completion
of the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement or County
Correctional Training Course as prescribed by the Board; or
has been awarded a certificate attesting to the officer's
satisfactory completion of a training program of similar
content and number of hours and which course has been found
acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or a
training waiver by reason of prior law enforcement or county
corrections experience, obtained in Illinois, in any other
state, or with an agency of the federal government, the basic
training requirement is determined by the Board to be
illogical and unreasonable. Agencies seeking a reciprocity
waiver for training completed outside of Illinois must conduct

HB4697 - 741 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
a thorough background check and provide verification of the
officer's prior training. After review and satisfaction of all
requested conditions, the officer shall be awarded an
equivalency certificate satisfying the requirements of this
Section. Within 60 days after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Board shall
adopt uniform rules providing for a waiver process for a
person previously employed and qualified as a law enforcement
or county corrections officer under federal law or the laws of
any other state, or who has completed a basic law enforcement
officer or correctional officer academy who would be qualified
to be employed as a law enforcement officer or correctional
officer by the federal government or any other state. These
rules shall address the process for evaluating prior training
credit, a description and list of the courses typically
required for reciprocity candidates to complete prior to
taking the exam, and a procedure for employers seeking a
pre-activation determination for a reciprocity training
waiver. The rules shall provide that any eligible person
previously trained as a law enforcement or county corrections
officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall
successfully complete the following prior to the approval of a
waiver:
(1) a training program or set of coursework approved
by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the
duties and training requirements of law enforcement and

HB4697 - 742 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
county correctional officers;
(2) firearms training; and
(3) successful passage of the equivalency
certification examination.
If such training is required and not completed within the
applicable 6 months, then the officer must forfeit the
officer's position, or the employing agency must obtain a
waiver from the Board extending the period for compliance.
Such waiver shall be issued only for good and justifiable
reasons, and in no case shall extend more than 90 days beyond
the initial 6 months. Any hiring agency that fails to train a
law enforcement officer within this period shall be prohibited
from employing this individual in a law enforcement capacity
for one year from the date training was to be completed. If an
agency again fails to train the individual a second time, the
agency shall be permanently barred from employing this
individual in a law enforcement capacity.
An individual who is not certified by the Board or whose
certified status is inactive shall not function as a law
enforcement officer, be assigned the duties of a law
enforcement officer by an employing agency, or be authorized
to carry firearms under the authority of the employer, except
as otherwise authorized to carry a firearm under State or
federal law. Sheriffs who are elected as of January 1, 2022
(the effective date of Public Act 101-652) are exempt from the
requirement of certified status. Failure to be certified in

HB4697 - 743 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
accordance with this Act shall cause the officer to forfeit
the officer's position.
An employing agency may not grant a person status as a law
enforcement officer unless the person has been granted an
active law enforcement officer certification by the Board.
(b) Inactive status. A person who has an inactive law
enforcement officer certification has no law enforcement
authority.
(1) A law enforcement officer's certification becomes
inactive upon termination, resignation, retirement, or
separation from the officer's employing law enforcement
agency for any reason. The Board shall re-activate a
certification upon written application from the law
enforcement officer's law enforcement agency that shows
the law enforcement officer: (i) has accepted a full-time
law enforcement position with that law enforcement agency,
(ii) is not the subject of a decertification proceeding,
and (iii) meets all other criteria for re-activation
required by the Board. The Board may also establish
special training requirements to be completed as a
condition for re-activation.
The Board shall review a notice for reactivation from
a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30
days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement
officer shall be allowed to be employed as a full-time law
enforcement officer while the law enforcement officer

HB4697 - 744 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
reactivation waiver is under review.
A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation
or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is
refused reactivation under this Section may request a
hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as
outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act.
The Board may refuse to re-activate the certification
of a law enforcement officer who was involuntarily
terminated for good cause by an employing agency for
conduct subject to decertification under this Act or
resigned or retired after receiving notice of a law
enforcement agency's investigation.
(2) A law enforcement agency may place an officer who
is currently certified on inactive status by sending a
written request to the Board. A law enforcement officer
whose certificate has been placed on inactive status shall
not function as a law enforcement officer until the
officer has completed any requirements for reactivating
the certificate as required by the Board. A request for
inactive status in this subsection shall be in writing,
accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be
submitted to the Board with a copy to the chief
administrator of the law enforcement officer's current or
new employing agency.
(3) Certification that has become inactive under
paragraph (2) of this subsection (b) shall be reactivated

HB4697 - 745 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
by written notice from the law enforcement officer's
agency upon a showing that the law enforcement officer:
(i) is employed in a full-time law enforcement position
with the same law enforcement agency, (ii) is not the
subject of a decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets
all other criteria for re-activation required by the
Board.
(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this subsection
(b), a law enforcement officer whose certification has
become inactive under paragraph (2) may have the officer's
employing agency submit a request for a waiver of training
requirements to the Board in writing and accompanied by
any verifying documentation. A grant of a waiver is within
the discretion of the Board. Within 7 days of receiving a
request for a waiver under this Section, the Board shall
notify the law enforcement officer and the chief
administrator of the law enforcement officer's employing
agency, whether the request has been granted, denied, or
if the Board will take additional time for information. A
law enforcement agency whose request for a waiver under
this subsection is denied is entitled to request a review
of the denial by the Board. The law enforcement agency
must request a review within 20 days of the waiver being
denied. The burden of proof shall be on the law
enforcement agency to show why the law enforcement officer
is entitled to a waiver of the legislatively required

HB4697 - 746 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
training and eligibility requirements.
(c) No provision of this Section shall be construed to
mean that a county corrections officer employed by a
governmental agency at the time of the effective date of this
amendatory Act, either as a probationary county corrections
officer or as a permanent county corrections officer, shall
require certification under the provisions of this Section. No
provision of this Section shall be construed to apply to
certification of elected county sheriffs.
(d) Within 14 days, a law enforcement officer shall report
to the Board: (1) any name change; (2) any change in
employment; or (3) the filing of any criminal indictment or
charges against the officer alleging that the officer

completion of the training requirements required in this Act
in compliance with Section 8.4 of this Act.

maintain proof of a law enforcement officer's completion of

HB4697 - 747 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
legislatively required training in a format designated by the
Board. The report of training shall be submitted to the Board
within 30 days following completion of the training. A copy of
the report shall be submitted to the law enforcement officer.
Upon receipt of a properly completed report of training, the
Board will make the appropriate entry into the training
records of the law enforcement officer.
(f) This Section does not apply to part-time law
enforcement officers or probationary part-time law enforcement
officers.

Sec. 8.2. Part-time police law enforcement officers.
(a) A person hired to serve as a part-time police officer
must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting to his
or her successful completion of the part-time police training
course; (ii) attesting to his or her satisfactory completion
of a training program of similar content and number of hours
that has been found acceptable by the Board under the
provisions of this Act; or (iii) attesting to the Board's
determination that the part-time police training course is

HB4697 - 748 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
unnecessary because of the person's extensive prior law
enforcement experience. A person hired on or after March 14,
2002 (the effective date of Public Act 92-533) must obtain
this certificate within 18 months after the initial date of
hire as a probationary part-time police officer in the State
of Illinois. The probationary part-time police officer must be
enrolled and accepted into a Board-approved course within 6
months after active employment by any department in the State.
A person hired on or after January 1, 1996 and before March 14,
2002 (the effective date of Public Act 92-533) must obtain
this certificate within 18 months after the date of hire. A
person hired before January 1, 1996 must obtain this
certificate within 24 months after January 1, 1996 (the
effective date of Public Act 89-170).
The employing agency may seek a waiver from the Board
extending the period for compliance. A waiver shall be issued
only for good and justifiable reasons, and the probationary
part-time police officer may not practice as a part-time
police officer during the waiver period. If training is
required and not completed within the applicable time period,
as extended by any waiver that may be granted, then the officer
must forfeit his or her position.
(b) (Blank).
(c) The part-time police training course referred to in
this Section shall be of similar content and the same number of
hours as the courses for full-time officers and shall be

HB4697 - 749 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
provided by Mobile Team In-Service Training Units under the
Intergovernmental Law Enforcement Officer's In-Service
Training Act or by another approved program or facility in a
manner prescribed by the Board.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, the Board shall
adopt rules defining what constitutes employment on a
part-time basis.
(a) A person hired to serve as a part-time law enforcement
officer must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting
to the officer's successful completion of the part-time police
training course; (ii) attesting to the officer's satisfactory
completion of a training program of similar content and number
of hours that has been found acceptable by the Board under the
provisions of this Act; or (iii) a training waiver attesting
to the Board's determination that the part-time police
training course is unnecessary because of the person's prior
law enforcement experience obtained in Illinois, in any other
state, or with an agency of the federal government. A person
hired on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of
the 92nd General Assembly must obtain this certificate within
18 months after the initial date of hire as a probationary
part-time law enforcement officer in the State of Illinois.
The probationary part-time law enforcement officer must be
enrolled and accepted into a Board-approved course within 6
months after active employment by any department in the State.
A person hired on or after January 1, 1996 and before the

HB4697 - 750 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General
Assembly must obtain this certificate within 18 months after
the date of hire. A person hired before January 1, 1996 must
obtain this certificate within 24 months after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1995. Agencies seeking a
reciprocity waiver for training completed outside of Illinois
must conduct a thorough background check and provide
verification of the officer's prior training. After review and
satisfaction of all requested conditions, the officer shall be
awarded an equivalency certificate satisfying the requirements
of this Section. Within 60 days after the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Board
shall adopt uniform rules providing for a waiver process for a
person previously employed and qualified as a law enforcement
or county corrections officer under federal law or the laws of
any other state, or who has completed a basic law enforcement
officer or correctional officer academy who would be qualified
to be employed as a law enforcement officer or correctional
officer by the federal government or any other state. These
rules shall address the process for evaluating prior training
credit, a description and list of the courses typically
required for reciprocity candidates to complete prior to
taking the exam, and a procedure for employers seeking a
pre-activation determination for a reciprocity training
waiver. The rules shall provide that any eligible person
previously trained as a law enforcement or county corrections

HB4697 - 751 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall
successfully complete the following prior to the approval of a
waiver:
(1) a training program or set of coursework approved
by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the
duties and training requirements of law enforcement and
county correctional officers;
(2) firearms training; and
(3) successful passage of the equivalency
certification examination.
The employing agency may seek an extension waiver from the
Board extending the period for compliance. An extension waiver
shall be issued only for good and justifiable reasons, and the
probationary part-time law enforcement officer may not
practice as a part-time law enforcement officer during the
extension waiver period. If training is required and not
completed within the applicable time period, as extended by
any waiver that may be granted, then the officer must forfeit
the officer's position.
An individual who is not certified by the Board or whose
certified status is inactive shall not function as a law
enforcement officer, be assigned the duties of a law
enforcement officer by an agency, or be authorized to carry
firearms under the authority of the employer, except that
sheriffs who are elected are exempt from the requirement of
certified status. Failure to be in accordance with this Act

HB4697 - 752 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
shall cause the officer to forfeit the officer's position.
(a-5) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer
shall be allowed to complete six months of a part-time police
training course and function as a law enforcement officer as
permitted by this subsection with a waiver from the Board,
provided the part-time law enforcement officer is still
enrolled in the training course. If the part-time probationary
law enforcement officer withdraws from the course for any
reason or does not complete the course within the applicable
time period, as extended by any waiver that may be granted,
then the officer must forfeit the officer's position. A
probationary law enforcement officer must function under the
following rules:
(1) A law enforcement agency may not grant a person
status as a law enforcement officer unless the person has
been granted an active law enforcement officer
certification by the Board.
(2) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer
shall not be used as a permanent replacement for a
full-time law enforcement.
(3) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer
shall be directly supervised at all times by a Board
certified law enforcement officer. Direct supervision
requires oversight and control with the supervisor having
final decision-making authority as to the actions of the
recruit during duty hours.

HB4697 - 753 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(b) Inactive status. A person who has an inactive law
enforcement officer certification has no law enforcement
authority.
(1) A law enforcement officer's certification becomes
inactive upon termination, resignation, retirement, or
separation from the employing agency for any reason. The
Board shall re-activate a certification upon written
application from the law enforcement officer's employing
agency that shows the law enforcement officer: (i) has
accepted a part-time law enforcement position with that a
law enforcement agency, (ii) is not the subject of a
decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets all other
criteria for re-activation required by the Board.
The Board may refuse to re-activate the certification
of a law enforcement officer who was involuntarily
terminated for good cause by the officer's employing
agency for conduct subject to decertification under this
Act or resigned or retired after receiving notice of a law
enforcement agency's investigation.
(2) A law enforcement agency may place an officer who
is currently certified on inactive status by sending a
written request to the Board. A law enforcement officer
whose certificate has been placed on inactive status shall
not function as a law enforcement officer until the
officer has completed any requirements for reactivating
the certificate as required by the Board. A request for

HB4697 - 754 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
inactive status in this subsection shall be in writing,
accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be
submitted to the Board by the law enforcement officer's
employing agency.
(3) Certification that has become inactive under
paragraph (2) of this subsection (b), shall be reactivated
by written notice from the law enforcement officer's law
enforcement agency upon a showing that the law enforcement
officer is: (i) employed in a part-time law enforcement
position with the same law enforcement agency, (ii) not
the subject of a decertification proceeding, and (iii)
meets all other criteria for re-activation required by the
Board. The Board may also establish special training
requirements to be completed as a condition for
re-activation.
The Board shall review a notice for reactivation from
a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30
days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement
officer shall be allowed to be employed as a part-time law
enforcement officer while the law enforcement officer
reactivation waiver is under review.
A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation
or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is
refused reactivation under this Section may request a
hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as
outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act.

HB4697 - 755 - LRB103 35722 RLC 65802 b
(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this Section, a
law enforcement officer whose certification has become
inactive under paragraph (2) may have the officer's
employing agency submit a request for a waiver of training
requirements to the Board in writing and accompanied by
any verifying documentation. A grant of a waiver is within
the discretion of the Board. Within 7 days of receiving a
request for a waiver under this section, the Board shall
notify the law enforcement officer and the chief
administrator of the law enforcement officer's employing
agency, whether the request has been granted, denied, or
if the Board will take additional time for information. A
law enforcement agency or law enforcement officer, whose
request for a waiver under this subsection is denied, is
entitled to request a review of the denial by the Board.
The law enforcement agency must request a review within 20
days after the waiver being denied. The burden of proof
shall be on the law enforcement agency to show why the law
enforcement officer is entitled to a waiver of the
legislatively required training and eligibility
requirements.
(c) The part-time police training course referred to in
this Section shall be of similar content and the same number of
hours as the courses for full-time officers and shall be
provided by Mobile Team In-Service Training Units under the
Intergovernmental Law Enforcement Officer's In-Service

Training Act or by another approved program or facility in a
manner prescribed by the Board.
(d) Within 14 days, a law enforcement officer shall report
to the Board: (1) any name change; (2) any change in
employment; or (3) the filing of any criminal indictment or
charges against the officer alleging that the officer
committed any offense as enumerated in Section 6.1 of this
Act.
(e) All law enforcement officers must report the
completion of the training requirements required in this Act
in compliance with Section 8.4 of this Act.
(e-1) Each employing agency shall allow and provide an
opportunity for a law enforcement officer to complete the
requirements in this Act. All mandated training shall be
provided for at no cost to the employees. Employees shall be
paid for all time spent attending mandated training.

maintain proof of a law enforcement officer's completion of
legislatively required training in a format designated by the
Board. The report of training shall be submitted to the Board
within 30 days following completion of the training. A copy of
the report shall be submitted to the law enforcement officer.
Upon receipt of a properly completed report of training, the
Board will make the appropriate entry into the training
records of the law enforcement officer.
