CRIM PRO-PRETRIAL RELEASE

Summary

The bill changes Illinois law so that if a person who is out on pre‑trial release is charged with any new offense that allegedly occurred while they were released, the court can revoke that release, regardless of the new charge’s severity. It also sets rules for how and when revocation hearings must be held and creates limited sanctions for lower‑level prior releases. The change impacts defendants on pre‑trial release and the courts that supervise them.
