Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Pretrial services agencies shall perform the following duties
for the circuit court:

(a) Interview and assemble verified information and data concerning the

court for first appearance on felony charges, to assist the court in
determining the appropriate terms and conditions of pretrial release;

(b) Submit written reports of those investigations to the court along

conditions, and promptly report
violations of those conditions to the court and prosecutor to ensure 
effective enforcement;
