2amended by changing Section 110-6.1 as follows:
 
3    (725 ILCS 5/110-6.1)  (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6.1)
4    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652)
5    Sec. 110-6.1. Denial of bail in non-probationable felony
6offenses.
7    (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
8hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a
9defendant who is charged with a felony offense for which a
10sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
11imprisonment or conditional discharge, is required by law upon
12conviction, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission
13to bail poses a real and present threat to the physical safety
14of any person or persons.
15        (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
16    the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
17    within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
18    110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
19    reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such
20    petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
21    previously released shall not be detained.
22        (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the
23    defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good
24    cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a
25    continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may

 

 

HB5356- 3 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1    not exceed 5 calendar days, and a continuance on the
2    motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days. The
3    defendant may be held in custody during such continuance.
4    (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant where, after
5the hearing, it is determined that:
6        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
7    the defendant has committed an offense for which a
8    sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
9    imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed by
10    law as a consequence of conviction, and
11        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
12    the physical safety of any person or persons, by conduct
13    which may include, but is not limited to, a forcible
14    felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation, injury,
15    physical harm, an offense under the Illinois Controlled
16    Substances Act which is a Class X felony, or an offense
17    under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection
18    Act which is a Class X felony, and
19        (3) the court finds that no condition or combination
20    of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section
21    110-10 of this Article, can reasonably assure the physical
22    safety of any other person or persons.
23    (c) Conduct of the hearings.
24        (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and
25    dangerousness shall be conducted in accordance with the
26    following provisions:

 

 

HB5356- 4 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1            (A) Information used by the court in its findings
2        or stated in or offered at such hearing may be by way
3        of proffer based upon reliable information offered by
4        the State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to
5        be represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to
6        have counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have
7        the opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in
8        his own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any
9        are called by the State. The defendant has the right to
10        present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of
11        justice so require, the court may exercises its
12        discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
13        witness. The court shall state on the record reasons
14        for granting a defense request to compel the presence
15        of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a
16        complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
17        for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility
18        is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the
19        witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance
20        of a complaining witness, the court shall be
21        considerate of the emotional and physical well-being
22        of the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not
23        to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
24        arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
25        shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
26        copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if

 

 

HB5356- 5 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1        available, and any written or recorded statements and
2        the substance of any oral statements made by any
3        person, if relied upon by the State in its petition.
4        The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in
5        criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
6        consideration of information at the hearing. At the
7        trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was
8        conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
9        transcript or other record of the hearing shall be
10        admissible in the State's case in chief, but shall be
11        admissible for impeachment, or as provided in Section
12        115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
13            (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence
14        or to suppress a confession shall not be entertained.
15        Evidence that proof may have been obtained as the
16        result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
17        improper interrogation is not relevant to this state
18        of the prosecution.
19        (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a
20    finding that the defendant poses a real and present threat
21    to the physical safety of any person or persons shall be
22    supported by clear and convincing evidence presented by
23    the State.
24    (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
25dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
26defendant poses a real and present threat to the physical

 

 

HB5356- 6 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1safety of any person or persons, consider but shall not be
2limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
3        (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
4    charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
5    violence, involving a weapon.
6        (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
7    including:
8            (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
9        history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
10        behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
11        include testimony or documents received in juvenile
12        proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
13        commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings.
14            (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
15        psychiatric or other similar social history which
16        tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
17        nature, or lack of any such history.
18        (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
19    safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
20    nature of the threat;
21        (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
22    defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
23    them;
24        (5) The age and physical condition of any person
25    assaulted by the defendant;
26        (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have

 

 

HB5356- 7 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1    access to any weapon or weapons;
2        (7) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
3    other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
4    parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
5    other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
6    appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
7    federal or state law;
8        (8) Any other factors, including those listed in
9    Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a
10    reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
11    reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or
12    lack of such behavior.
13    (e) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
14detention:
15        (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's
16    culpability and its reasons for concluding that the
17    defendant should be held without bail;
18        (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
19    custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
20    pending trial;
21        (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
22    opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
23    communication with others of his choice by visitation,
24    mail and telephone; and
25        (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
26    required for appearances in connection with court

 

 

HB5356- 8 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1    proceedings.
2    (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the
3defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, the
4defendant shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he
5is detained within 90 days after the date on which the order
6for detention was entered. If the defendant is not brought to
7trial within the 90 day period required by the preceding
8sentence, he shall not be held longer without bail. In
9computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit any period of
10delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of
11the defendant.
12    (g) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled
13to appeal any order entered under this Section denying bail to
14the defendant.
15    (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this
16Section denying any motion for denial of bail.
17    (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
18modifying or limiting in any way the defendant's presumption
19of innocence in further criminal proceedings.

25    (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
26for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of

 

 

HB5356- 14 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
2        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
3    the defendant has committed an offense listed in
4    paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a), and
5        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
6    the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons,
7    by conduct which may include, but is not limited to, a
8    forcible felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation,
9    injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1) of Section
10    103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, and
11        (3) no condition or combination of conditions set
12    forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
13    can mitigate the real and present threat to the safety of
14    any person or persons or the defendant's willful flight.
15    (f) Conduct of the hearings.
16        (1) Prior to the hearing the State shall tender to the
17    defendant copies of defendant's criminal history
18    available, any written or recorded statements, and the
19    substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
20    relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
21    reports in the State's Attorney's possession at the time
22    of the hearing that are required to be disclosed to the
23    defense under Illinois Supreme Court rules.
24        (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
25    hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
26        (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by

 

 

HB5356- 15 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1    counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
2    appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
3    opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
4    own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
5    called by the State.
6        (4) If the defense seeks to call the complaining
7    witness as a witness in its favor, it shall petition the
8    court for permission. When the ends of justice so require,
9    the court may exercise its discretion and compel the
10    appearance of a complaining witness. The court shall state
11    on the record reasons for granting a defense request to
12    compel the presence of a complaining witness. In making a
13    determination under this section, the court shall state on
14    the record the reason for granting a defense request to
15    compel the presence of a complaining witness, and only
16    grant the request if the court finds by clear and
17    convincing evidence that the defendant will be materially
18    prejudiced if the complaining witness does not appear.
19    Cross-examination of a complaining witness at the pretrial
20    detention hearing for the purpose of impeaching the
21    witness' credibility is insufficient reason to compel the
22    presence of the witness. In deciding whether to compel the
23    appearance of a complaining witness, the court shall be
24    considerate of the emotional and physical well-being of
25    the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not to be
26    used for purposes of discovery, and the post arraignment

 

 

HB5356- 16 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1    rules of discovery do not apply.
2        (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
3    in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
4    consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
5    concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
6    neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
7    other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
8    State's case in chief, but shall be admissible for
9    impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
10    Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
11        (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
12    a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
13    crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
14    seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
15    relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
16    the defendant.
17        (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of release
18    and detention prior trial should be individualized, and no
19    single factor or standard should be used exclusively to
20    make a condition or detention decision.
21    (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
22dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
23defendant poses a specific, imminent threat of serious
24physical harm to an identifiable person or persons, consider
25but shall not be limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
26        (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense

 

 

HB5356- 17 -LRB102 25058 RLC 34317 b

1    charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
2    violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
3        (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
4    including:
5            (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
6        history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
7        behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
8        include testimony or documents received in juvenile
9        proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
10        commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings.
11            (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
