    (Section scheduled to be repealed on June 30, 2017)

    Sec. 15. Procedure. 

    (a) Once referred to the Accelerated Resolution Program 
Court by the Cook County Sheriff or his or her designee,  
written notice shall be given by the Sheriff to the prosecuting 
State's Attorney and , the defendant's counsel of record, and 
the Presiding Judge of the Criminal Division of the Circuit 
Court of Cook County. Proof of the notice shall be filed with 
the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County.   Any referred 
case shall be adjudicated within 30 days of the date of 
assignment by the presiding judge, excluding any delay 
occasioned by the defendant.
    (b) If a case within the Accelerated Resolution Program 
Court is not resolved within 30 days of the date of assignment 
by the presiding judge, the time period provided in subsection 
(a),  then the defendant shall be released from custody on his 
or her own recognizance or released on electronic monitoring.  
Any person released under this Section must agree to the terms 
and conditions of release provided by the court.
    (c)
Nothing in this Act shall be construed as prohibiting a 
defendant from requesting a continuance. Any continuance 
granted on behalf of the defendant shall toll the 30-day 
requirement of this Act. Lack of participation by the victim or 
other continuances required on behalf of the State do not toll 
the 30-day requirement of this Act.
    (d) If a person is released on his or her own recognizance, 
the conditions of the release shall be that he or she shall:
        (1) appear to answer the charge in the court having 
    jurisdiction on a day certain and thereafter ordered by the 
    court until discharged or final order of the court;
        (2) submit himself or herself to the orders and process 
    of the court;
        (3) not depart this State without leave of the court;
        (4) not violate any criminal statute of any 
    jurisdiction; 
        (5) at a time and place designated by the court, 
    surrender all firearms in his or her possession to a law 
    enforcement officer as required under paragraph (5) of 
    subsection (a) of Section 110-10  of the Code of Criminal 
    Procedure of 1963; and

        (6) (blank). file written notice with the clerk of the 
    court before which the proceeding is pending of any change 
    in his or her address within 24 hours after the change. The 
    address of a defendant who has been released on his or her 
    own recognizance shall at all times remain a matter of 
    public record with the clerk of the court.
    (e) If the court finds that additional conditions are 
reasonably necessary to assure the defendant's appearance in 
court, protect the public from the defendant, or prevent the 
defendant's unlawful interference with the orderly 
administration of justice,  the court may require the defendant 
to:
        (1) refrain from going to certain described 
    geographical areas or premises;
        (2) refrain from engaging in certain activities or 
    indulging in intoxicating liquors or in certain drugs;
        (3)  undergo mental health treatment or treatment for 
    drug addiction or alcoholism;
        (4)  attend or reside in a facility designated by the 
    court; or
        (5) comply with other reasonable conditions as the 
    court may impose.
    (f) A failure to appear as required by the recognizance 
shall constitute an offense subject to the penalty provided in 
Section 32-10 of the Criminal Code of 2012 for violation of 
bail bond.
    (g) The State may object to the referral of a case under 
Section 15 by providing written notice to the Cook County 
Sheriff's Office and the Office of the Public Defender.


    (h) The State may object to any order permitting release by 
personal recognizance or electronic monitoring.
