 1        AN ACT in relation to criminal law.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The Code of Criminal Procedure  of  1963  is
 5    amended by changing Section 110-6 as follows:

 6        (725 ILCS 5/110-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6)
 7        Sec.  110-6.   (a) Upon verified application by the State
 8    or the defendant or on its own motion the court before  which
 9    the  proceeding  is pending may increase or reduce the amount
10    of bail or may alter the conditions of the bail bond or grant
11    bail where it has been previously revoked or denied. If  bail
12    has  been  previously  revoked  pursuant to subsection (f) of
13    this Section or if bail has  been  denied  to  the  defendant
14    pursuant  to  subsection (e) of Section 110-6.1 or subsection
15    (e) of Section 110-6.3, the defendant shall  be  required  to
16    present  a  verified  application setting forth in detail any
17    new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the previous
18    revocation or denial  of  bail  proceedings.   If  the  court
19    grants  bail  where it has been previously revoked or denied,
20    the court shall state on the record of  the  proceedings  the
21    findings of facts and conclusion of law upon which such order
22    is based.
23        (b)  Violation  of  the  conditions  of Section 110-10 of
24    this Code or any special conditions of bail as ordered by the
25    court shall constitute grounds for the court to increase  the
26    amount  of  bail,  or otherwise alter the conditions of bail,
27    or, where the alleged offense committed on bail is a forcible
28    felony in Illinois or a Class 2 or greater offense under  the
29    Controlled  Substances  Act  or  Cannabis Control Act, revoke
30    bail pursuant to the appropriate provisions of subsection (e)
31    of this section.
 
                            -2-                LRB9207680RCcd
 1        (c)  Reasonable  notice  of  such  application   by   the
 2    defendant shall be given to the State.
 3        (d)  Reasonable  notice  of such application by the State
 4    shall be given  to  the  defendant,  except  as  provided  in
 5    subsection (e) or (f-5).
 6        (e)  Upon verified application by the State stating facts
 7    or  circumstances  constituting  a  violation or a threatened
 8    violation of any of the conditions of the bail bond the court
 9    may issue a warrant commanding any peace officer to bring the
10    defendant without unnecessary delay before the  court  for  a
11    hearing  on the matters set forth in the application.  If the
12    actual court before which the proceeding is pending is absent
13    or otherwise unavailable another court may  issue  a  warrant
14    pursuant to this Section.  When the defendant is charged with
15    a  felony  offense  and  while free on bail is charged with a
16    subsequent felony offense and is the subject of a  proceeding
17    set  forth  in  Section 109-1 or 109-3 of this Code, upon the
18    filing of  a  verified  petition  by  the  State  alleging  a
19    violation  of  Section 110-10 (a) (4) of this Code, the court
20    shall without prior notice to the defendant, grant  leave  to
21    file  such  application  and  shall order the transfer of the
22    defendant and the application without  unnecessary  delay  to
23    the  court before which the previous felony matter is pending
24    for  a  hearing  as  provided  in  subsection  (b)  or   this
25    subsection  of  this  Section.   The  defendant shall be held
26    without bond pending transfer to and a  hearing  before  such
27    court.  At the conclusion of the hearing based on a violation
28    of  the  conditions  of  Section  110-10  of this Code or any
29    special conditions of bail as ordered by the court the  court
30    may enter an order increasing the amount of bail or alter the
31    conditions of bail as deemed appropriate.
32        (f)  Where   the   alleged   violation  consists  of  the
33    violation of one or more felony statutes of any  jurisdiction
34    which  would be a forcible felony in Illinois or a Class 2 or
 
                            -3-                LRB9207680RCcd
 1    greater offense under the Illinois Controlled Substances  Act
 2    or  Cannabis Control Act and the defendant is on bail for the
 3    alleged commission of a  felony,  the  court  shall,  on  the
 4    motion  of  the  State  or  its  own  motion,  revoke bail in
 5    accordance with the following provisions:
 6             (1)  The court shall hold the defendant without bail
 7        pending the hearing on the alleged  breach;  however,  if
 8        the  defendant  is not admitted to bail the hearing shall
 9        be commenced within 10 days from the date  the  defendant
10        is  taken  into  custody or the defendant may not be held
11        any longer without bail, unless delay  is  occasioned  by
12        the  defendant.  Where defendant occasions the delay, the
13        running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and
14        resumes at the termination of the period of delay.  Where
15        defendant occasions  the  delay  with  5  or  fewer  days
16        remaining   in  the  10 day period, the court may grant a
17        period of up to 5 additional days to the State  for  good
18        cause  shown.  The State, however, shall retain the right
19        to proceed to hearing on the  alleged  violation  at  any
20        time,  upon  reasonable  notice  to the defendant and the
21        court.
22             (2)  At a hearing on the alleged violation the State
23        has the burden of going forward and proving the violation
24        by clear and convincing evidence.  The evidence shall  be
25        presented  in open court with the opportunity to testify,
26        to present witnesses in his behalf, and to  cross-examine
27        witnesses   if   any   are   called  by  the  State,  and
28        representation  by  counsel  and  if  the  defendant   is
29        indigent  to have counsel appointed for him. The rules of
30        evidence applicable in  criminal  trials  in  this  State
31        shall  not  govern  the admissibility of evidence at such
32        hearing. Information used by the court in its findings or
33        stated in or offered  in  connection  with  hearings  for
34        increase  or  revocation of bail may be by way of proffer
 
                            -4-                LRB9207680RCcd
 1        based upon reliable information offered by the  State  or
 2        defendant.   All  evidence  shall  be admissible if it is
 3        relevant and reliable regardless of whether it  would  be
 4        admissible  under  the  rules  of  evidence applicable at
 5        criminal trials.  A motion by the defendant  to  suppress
 6        evidence  or  to  suppress  a  confession  shall  not  be
 7        entertained  at  such a hearing.  Evidence that proof may
 8        have been obtained as a result of an unlawful search  and
 9        seizure or through improper interrogation is not relevant
10        to this hearing.
11             (3)  Upon  a finding by the court that the State has
12        established by clear and  convincing  evidence  that  the
13        defendant has committed a forcible felony or a Class 2 or
14        greater  offense  under  the Controlled Substances Act or
15        Cannabis Control Act while admitted to  bail,  the  court
16        shall  revoke  the  bail  of  the  defendant and hold the
17        defendant for trial without bail. Neither the finding  of
18        the  court  nor  any  transcript  or  other record of the
19        hearing shall be admissible in the State's case in chief,
20        but shall be admissible for impeachment, or  as  provided
21        in  Section  115-10.1  of  this  Code  or  in  a  perjury
22        proceeding.
23             (4)  If   the  bail  of  any  defendant  is  revoked
24        pursuant to  paragraph  (f)  (3)  of  this  Section,  the
25        defendant  may demand and shall be entitled to be brought
26        to trial on the offense with  respect  to  which  he  was
27        formerly  released  on bail within 90 days after the date
28        on which his bail was revoked.  If the defendant  is  not
29        brought to trial within the 90 day period required by the
30        preceding  sentence,  he shall not be held longer without
31        bail.  In computing the 90 day period,  the  court  shall
32        omit  any  period  of  delay resulting from a continuance
33        granted at the request of the defendant.
34             (5)  If  the  defendant  either  is  arrested  on  a
 
                            -5-                LRB9207680RCcd
 1        warrant issued pursuant to this Code or is  arrested  for
 2        an  unrelated  offense  and it is subsequently discovered
 3        that the defendant is a subject  of  another  warrant  or
 4        warrants  issued  pursuant  to  this  Code, the defendant
 5        shall be transferred promptly to the court  which  issued
 6        such   warrant.    If,  however,  the  defendant  appears
 7        initially before a  court  other  than  the  court  which
 8        issued  such  warrant,  the  non-issuing  court shall not
 9        alter the amount of bail heretofore set on  such  warrant
10        unless  the court sets forth on the record of proceedings
11        the conclusions of law and facts which are the basis  for
12        such  altering  of another court's bond.  The non-issuing
13        court shall not  alter  another  courts  bail  set  on  a
14        warrant unless the interests of justice and public safety
15        are served by such action.
16        (f-5)  Upon   a  certificate  executed  by  a  physician,
17    clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner, as these  terms
18    are   defined   in   the   Mental  Health  and  Developmental
19    Disabilities Code, stating that the defendant charged with  a
20    felony  is  a  person with a mental illness and is in need of
21    immediate hospitalization because the defendant is reasonably
22    expected to  inflict  serious  physical  harm  upon  himself,
23    herself,  or  others  in  the  near  future,  or is unable to
24    provide for his or her basic physical needs to guard  himself
25    or  herself  from serious physical harm, the court may revoke
26    the defendant's bond and order the defendant to appear before
27    the court to determine whether immediate  hospitalization  is
28    necessary.
29        (g)  The  State  may appeal any order where the court has
30    increased or reduced  the  amount  of  bail  or  altered  the
31    conditions  of  the  bail  bond  or granted bail where it has
32    previously been revoked.
