| 8 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), when | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | When from all the circumstances the court is of the opinion | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | that the
defendant will appear as required either before or | |||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | after
conviction and the
defendant will not pose a danger to | |||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | any person or the community
and that the
defendant will comply | |||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | with all conditions of bond, which
shall include the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | defendant's current address with a written admonishment to
the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | defendant that he or she must comply with the provisions of | |||||||||||||||||||

| 18 | recognizance. The

| 19 | remain a matter of public record with
the clerk of the court. A | |||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | failure to appear as

| 21 | constitute an offense subject to the
penalty provided in | |||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | Section 32-10 of the Criminal Code of 2012 for violation of the
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | bail bond, and any obligated sum fixed in the recognizance | |||||||||||||||||||

| 1 | shall be
forfeited and collected in accordance with subsection | ||||||
| 2 | (g) of Section 110-7
of this Code.
| ||||||
| 3 | (b) A defendant may not be released on his or her own | ||||||

| 5 | (1) is on release on a recognizance bond for another | ||||||
| 6 | offense; | ||||||
| 7 | (2) had 2 or more recognizance bonds within the | ||||||
| 8 | 12-month period preceding his or her application for | ||||||
| 9 | release on his or her own recognizance; or | ||||||
| 10 | (3) had 3 or more recognizance bonds within the | ||||||
| 11 | 24-month period preceding his or her application for | ||||||
| 12 | release on his or her own recognizance. | ||||||
| 13 | (c) This Section shall be liberally construed to | ||||||
| 14 | effectuate the purpose of
relying upon contempt of court | ||||||
| 15 | proceedings or criminal sanctions
instead of financial loss to | ||||||
| 16 | assure the
appearance of the defendant, and that the defendant | ||||||
| 17 | will not pose a danger to
any person or the community and that | ||||||
| 18 | the defendant will comply with all
conditions of bond. Except | ||||||
| 19 | as otherwise provided in subsection (b), monetary Monetary | ||||||
| 20 | bail should be set only when it is
determined that no other | ||||||
| 21 | conditions of release will reasonably assure the
defendant's | ||||||
| 22 | appearance in court, that the defendant does not present a
| ||||||
| 23 | danger to any person or the community and that the defendant | ||||||
| 24 | will comply
with all conditions of bond.
| ||||||
| 25 | (d) The State may appeal any order permitting release by | ||||||
| 26 | personal recognizance.
