CRIM PRO-PRETRIAL DETENTION

Summary

The bill changes Illinois law so that when a judge orders a defendant to stay in jail because pre‑trial release is denied, the case must move forward according to the existing speedy‑trial schedule instead of a fixed 90‑day deadline. It also removes the rule that protects a defendant from being kept in jail if the trial is not completed within 90 days. This affects anyone who is held pre‑trial after a denial of release.
