drugs seized shall be considered. "Street value" shall be
determined by the court on the basis of a proffer by 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

affidavits, and may also inquire into matters appropriate to
the determination which shall include, but are not limited to,
the following:

relationship to the accused of any surety; and
(2) the source of any money or property deposited by
any surety, and whether any such money or property
constitutes the fruits of criminal or unlawful conduct; and

HB3813 - 7 - LRB096 10310 RLC 20480 b

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 of 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
double the amount of the fine.
(e) The State may appeal any order granting bail or setting
a given amount for bail.

HB3813 - 8 - LRB096 10310 RLC 20480 b

of protection under Section 12-30 of the Criminal Code of 1961,
the court shall order the respondent to undergo a risk
assessment evaluation at an Illinois Department of Human

surveillance as provided in Section 5-8A-7 of the Unified Code
of Corrections.

his or her household or family.
