CRIM PRO-DENY PRETRIAL RELEASE

Summary

The bill lets a judge hold a hearing and refuse pre‑trial release if the State proves, with specific facts, that a defendant charged with stalking, aggravated stalking or a list of violent crimes poses a real and present danger to a victim or the community. It targets defendants in those cases to protect potential victims before trial. The measure is currently referred to the Illinois House Rules Committee.
