11 Class 4 or misdemeanor offense. The Court may deny or

13 grant the continuance, the Court retains the discretion to
14 detain or release the defendant in the time between the
15 filing of the petition and the hearing.
16 (d) Contents of petition.
17 (1) The petition shall be verified by the State and
18 shall state the grounds upon which it contends the
19 defendant should be denied pretrial release, including the
20 real and present threat to the safety of any person or
21 persons or the community, based on the specific
22 articulable facts or flight risk, as appropriate.
23 (2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent
24 petition under this Section, the State shall be required
25 to present a verified application setting forth in detail
26 any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the

SB3199- 44 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 filing of the previous petition.
2 (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
3for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
4proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
5 (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
6 the defendant has committed an offense listed in
7 subsection (a), and
8 (2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7)
9 of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present
10 threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
11 community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
12 case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to,
13 a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
14 intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)
15 of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
16 1986, and
17 (3) no condition or combination of conditions set
18 forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
19 can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety
20 of any person or persons or the community, based on the
21 specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses
22 listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or
23 (ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in
24 paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
25 (4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407
26 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject

SB3199- 45 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or
2 combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
3 Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and
4 present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
5 the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
6 the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not
7 appear in court as required.
8 (f) Conduct of the hearings.
9 (1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to
10 the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
11 available, any written or recorded statements, and the
12 substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
13 relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
14 reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the
15 hearing.
16 (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
17 hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
18 (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
19 counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
20 appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
21 opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
22 own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
23 called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given
24 adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before
25 any hearing at which conditions of release or the
26 detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an

SB3199- 46 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate
2 attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to
3 confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing
4 conducted via a two-way audio-visual communication system,
5 such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be
6 undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.
7 (3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be
8 denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of
9 two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused
10 waives the right to be present physically in court, the
11 court determines that the physical health and safety of
12 any person necessary to the proceedings would be
13 endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of
14 the circuit orders use of that system due to operational
15 challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such
16 operational challenges must be documented and approved by
17 the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the
18 challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented
19 and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois
20 Courts every 6 months.
21 (4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining
22 witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall
23 petition the court for permission. When the ends of
24 justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion
25 and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
26 court shall state on the record reasons for granting a

SB3199- 47 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 defense request to compel the presence of a complaining
2 witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial
3 detention. In making a determination under this Section,
4 the court shall state on the record the reason for
5 granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
6 complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
7 court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
8 defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
9 witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a
10 complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
11 the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
12 insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
13 In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
14 complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
15 emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The
16 pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
17 of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
18 do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
19 prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's
20 criminal history, if available, and any written or
21 recorded statements and the substance of any oral
22 statements made by any person, if in the State's
23 Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.
24 (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
25 in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
26 consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial

SB3199- 48 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
2 neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
3 other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
4 State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for
5 impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
6 Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
7 (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
8 a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
9 crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
10 seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
11 relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
12 the defendant.
13 (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of
14 release, and detention prior to trial must be
15 individualized, and no single factor or standard may be
16 used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools
17 may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
18 (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
19dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
20defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any
21person or persons or the community, based on the specific
22articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be
23limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:
24 (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
25 charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
26 violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.

SB3199- 49 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
2 including:
3 (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
4 history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
5 behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
6 include testimony or documents received in juvenile
7 proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
8 commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.
9 (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
10 psychiatric or other similar social history which
11 tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
12 nature, or lack of any such history.
13 (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
14 safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
15 nature of the threat.
16 (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
17 defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
18 them.
19 (5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.
20 (6) The age and physical condition of any victim or
21 complaining witness.
22 (7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
23 access to any weapon or weapons.
24 (8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
25 other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
26 parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or

SB3199- 50 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
2 appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
3 federal or state law.
4 (9) Any other factors, including those listed in
5 Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a
6 reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
7 reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior,
8 or lack of such behavior.
9 (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
10detention:
11 (1) make a written finding summarizing the court's
12 reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied
13 pretrial release, including why less restrictive
14 conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to
15 the safety of any person or persons or the community,
16 based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or
17 prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;
18 (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
19 custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
20 pending trial;
21 (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
22 opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
23 communication with others of his or her choice by
24 visitation, mail and telephone; and
25 (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
26 required for appearances in connection with court

SB3199- 51 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
1 proceedings.
2 (i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the
3detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this
4Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the
5offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date
6on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant
7is not brought to trial within the 90-day period required by
8the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial
9release. In computing the 90-day period, the court shall omit
10any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at
11the request of the defendant and any period of delay resulting
12from a continuance granted at the request of the State with
13good cause shown pursuant to Section 103-5.
14 (i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant
15before the court, the judge must find that continued detention
16is necessary to avoid a real and present threat to the safety
17of any person or persons or the community, based on the
18specific articulable facts of the case, or to prevent the
19defendant's willful flight from prosecution.
20 (j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant shall be
21entitled to appeal any order entered under this Section
22denying his or her pretrial release.
23 (k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under
24this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial
25release.

SB3199- 52 -LRB103 37957 RLC 68089 b
