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.

735 ILCS 5/10-125

(735 ILCS 5/10-125) (from Ch. 110, par. 10-125)

Sec. 10-125. New commitment.

In all cases where the imprisonment is
for a criminal, or
supposed criminal matter, if it appears to the court that there
is sufficient legal cause for the commitment of the prisoner, although
such commitment may have been informally made, or without due authority,
or the process may have been executed by a person not duly authorized,
the court shall make a new commitment in proper form, and
direct it to the proper officer, or admit the party to pretrial release if the case
is eligible for pretrial release. The court shall also, when necessary, take the
recognizance of all material witnesses against the prisoner, as in other
cases. The recognizances shall be in the form provided by law, and
returned as other recognizances. If any judge shall neglect or refuse to
bind any such prisoner or witness by recognizance, or to return a
recognizance when taken as hereinabove stated, he or she shall be guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor in office, and be proceeded against accordingly.
