SB1609 Enrolled LRB101 09491 SLF 54589 b
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 3. The Criminal and Traffic Assessment Act is
amended by changing Section 5-20 as follows:
(705 ILCS 135/5-20)
(This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a
delayed effective date)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2021)
Sec. 5-20. Credit; time served; community service.
(a) Any credit for time served prior to sentencing that
reduces the amount a defendant is required to pay shall be
deducted first from the fine, if any, ordered by the court. Any
remainder of the credit shall be equally divided between the
assessments indicated in the ordered schedule and conditional
assessments.
(b) Excluding any ordered conditional assessment, a
defendant who has been ordered to pay an assessment may
petition the court to convert all or part of the assessment
into court-approved public or community service. One hour of
public or community service shall be equivalent to $4 of
assessment. The performance of this public or community service
shall be a condition of probation, conditional discharge, or

supervision and shall be in addition to the performance of any
other period of public or community service ordered by the
court or required by law.

Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
amended by changing Section 110-14 as follows:
(725 ILCS 5/110-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-14)
Sec. 110-14. Credit for incarceration on bailable offense;
credit against monetary bail for certain offenses.
(a) Any person incarcerated on a bailable offense who does
not supply bail and against whom a fine is levied on conviction
of the offense shall be allowed a credit of $30 $5 for each day
so incarcerated upon application of the defendant. However, in
no case shall the amount so allowed or credited exceed the
amount of the fine.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a person incarcerated
for sexual assault as defined in paragraph (1) of subsection
(a) of Section 5-9-1.7 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
(c) A person subject to bail on a Category B offense shall
have $30 deducted from his or her 10% cash bond amount every
day the person is incarcerated. The sheriff shall calculate and
apply this $30 per day reduction and send notice to the circuit
clerk if a defendant's 10% cash bond amount is reduced to $0,
at which point the defendant shall be released upon his or her

own recognizance.
(d) The court may deny the incarceration credit in
subsection (c) of this Section 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.
