11clerk of the court shall provide a space on each form for a
12person other than the accused who has provided the money for
13the posting of bail to so indicate and a space signed by an
14accused who has executed the bail bond indicating whether a

12conduct a hearing upon the application of the State pursuant to
13the provisions of Section 110-6 of this Code to increase or
14revoke the bail for that person's prior alleged offense.
15    (b) Upon depositing this sum and any bond fee authorized by
16law, the person shall be released from custody subject to the
17conditions of the bail bond.
18    (c) Once bail has been given and a charge is pending or is
19thereafter filed in or transferred to a court of competent
20jurisdiction the latter court shall continue the original bail
21in that court subject to the provisions of Section 110-6 of
22this Code.
23    (d) After conviction the court may order that the original
24bail stand as bail pending appeal or deny, increase or reduce
25bail subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
26    (e) After the entry of an order by the trial court allowing

2reviewing court having jurisdiction or to a justice thereof
3sitting in vacation for an order increasing or decreasing the
4amount of bail or allowing or denying bail pending appeal
5subject to the provisions of Section 110-6.2.
6    (f) When the conditions of the bail bond have been
7performed and the accused has been discharged from all
8obligations in the cause the clerk of the court shall return to
9the accused or to the defendant's designee by an assignment
10executed at the time the bail amount is deposited, unless the
11court orders otherwise, 90% of the sum which had been deposited
12and shall retain as bail bond costs 10% of the amount
13deposited. However, in no event shall the amount retained by
14the clerk as bail bond costs be less than $5. Notwithstanding
15the foregoing, in counties with a population of 3,000,000 or
16more, in no event shall the amount retained by the clerk as
17bail bond costs exceed $100 of which $25 shall be deposited in
18the Crisis Intervention Team Training Fund, a special fund in
19the county treasury of a county with more than 3,000,000
20inhabitants, to be used solely for paying for the costs of
21crisis intervention training for probationary police officers
22employed by law enforcement agencies located in a county with
23more than 3,000,000 inhabitants. Bail bond deposited by or on
24behalf of a defendant in one case may be used, in the court's
25discretion, to satisfy financial obligations of that same
26defendant incurred in a different case due to a fine, court

 

 

HB0375- 11 -LRB100 00093 SLF 10097 b

1costs, restitution or fees of the defendant's attorney of
2record. In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more, the
3court shall not order bail bond deposited by or on behalf of a
4defendant in one case to be used to satisfy financial
5obligations of that same defendant in a different case until
6the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs and
7attorney's fees in the case in which the bail bond has been
8deposited and any other unpaid child support obligations are
9satisfied. In counties with a population of less than
103,000,000, the court shall not order bail bond deposited by or
11on behalf of a defendant in one case to be used to satisfy
12financial obligations of that same defendant in a different
13case until the bail bond is first used to satisfy court costs
14in the case in which the bail bond has been deposited.
15    At the request of the defendant the court may order such
1690% of defendant's bail deposit, or whatever amount is
17repayable to defendant from such deposit, to be paid to
18defendant's attorney of record.
19    (g) If the accused does not comply with the conditions of
20the bail bond the court having jurisdiction shall enter an
21order declaring the bail to be forfeited. Notice of such order
22of forfeiture shall be mailed forthwith to the accused at his
23last known address. If the accused does not appear and
24surrender to the court having jurisdiction within 30 days from
25the date of the forfeiture or within such period satisfy the
26court that appearance and surrender by the accused is

 

 

HB0375- 12 -LRB100 00093 SLF 10097 b

1impossible and without his fault the court shall enter judgment
2for the State if the charge for which the bond was given was a
3felony or misdemeanor, or if the charge was quasi-criminal or
4traffic, judgment for the political subdivision of the State
5which prosecuted the case, against the accused for the amount
6of the bail and costs of the court proceedings; however, in
7counties with a population of less than 3,000,000, instead of
8the court entering a judgment for the full amount of the bond
9the court may, in its discretion, enter judgment for the cash
10deposit on the bond, less costs, retain the deposit for further
11disposition or, if a cash bond was posted for failure to appear
12in a matter involving enforcement of child support or
13maintenance, the amount of the cash deposit on the bond, less
14outstanding costs, may be awarded to the person or entity to
15whom the child support or maintenance is due. The deposit made
16in accordance with paragraph (a) shall be applied to the
17payment of costs. If judgment is entered and any amount of such
18deposit remains after the payment of costs it shall be applied
19to payment of the judgment and transferred to the treasury of
20the municipal corporation wherein the bond was taken if the
21offense was a violation of any penal ordinance of a political
22subdivision of this State, or to the treasury of the county
23wherein the bond was taken if the offense was a violation of
24any penal statute of this State. The balance of the judgment
25may be enforced and collected in the same manner as a judgment
26entered in a civil action.

 

 

HB0375- 13 -LRB100 00093 SLF 10097 b

1    (h) After a judgment for a fine and court costs or either
2is entered in the prosecution of a cause in which a deposit had
3been made in accordance with paragraph (a) the balance of such
4deposit, after deduction of bail bond costs, shall be applied
5to the payment of the judgment.
6    (i) When a court appearance is required for an alleged
7violation of the Criminal Code of 1961, the Criminal Code of
82012, the Illinois Vehicle Code, the Wildlife Code, the Fish
9and Aquatic Life Code, the Child Passenger Protection Act, or a
10comparable offense of a unit of local government as specified
11in Supreme Court Rule 551, and if the accused does not appear
12in court on the date set for appearance or any date to which
13the case may be continued and the court issues an arrest
14warrant for the accused, based upon his or her failure to
15appear when having so previously been ordered to appear by the
16court, the accused upon his or her admission to bail shall be
17assessed by the court a fee of $75. Payment of the fee shall be
18a condition of release unless otherwise ordered by the court.
19The fee shall be in addition to any bail that the accused is
20required to deposit for the offense for which the accused has
21been charged and may not be used for the payment of court costs
22or fines assessed for the offense. The clerk of the court shall
23remit $70 of the fee assessed to the arresting agency who
24brings the offender in on the arrest warrant. If the Department
