Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

625 ILCS 5/6-308

730 ILCS 5/5-9-3

from Ch. 38, par. 1005-9-3

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that, whenever a person fails to appear in court and the court continues the case, if the clerk of the court elects to establish a system to send text, email, and telephone notifications, the clerk of the court may send notifications to an email address, may send a text message to the person's last known cellular telephone number, and, if the person does not have a cellular telephone number, may reach the person at the person's last known landline telephone number regarding the continued court date. Removes a provision that requires a court to enter an order of failure to appear if a person does not appear in court on or before the continued court date or satisfy the court that the person's appearance in and surrender to the court is impossible for no fault of the person. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Removes language that allowed the court to use mitigating factors when deciding on contempt or imprisonment for nonpayment of a fine.
