SB3304
- 8 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b

the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
3

within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
4

110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
5

reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such
6

petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
7

previously released shall not be detained.
8

(2) Upon filing, the court shall immediately hold a
9

hearing on the petition unless a continuance is requested.
10

If a continuance is requested and granted, the hearing
11

shall be held within 48 hours of the defendant's first
12

appearance if the defendant is charged with first degree
13

murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony,

SB3304
- 9 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b

(2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent
2

petition under this Section, the State shall be required
3

to present a verified application setting forth in detail
4

any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the
5

filing of the previous petition.
6

(e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
7
for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
8
proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
9

(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
10

the defendant has committed an offense listed in
11

subsection (a), and
12

(2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7)
13

of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present
14

threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
15

community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
16

case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to,
17

a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
18

intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)
19

of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
20

1986, and
21

(3) no condition or combination of conditions set
22

forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
23

can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety
24

of any person or persons or the community, based on the
25

specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses
26

listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or

SB3304
- 10 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b
1

(ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in
2

paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
3

(4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407
4

of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject
5

to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or
6

combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
7

Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and
8

present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
9

the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
10

the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not
11

appear in court as required.
12

(f) Conduct of the hearings.
13

(1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to
14

the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
15

available, any written or recorded statements, and the
16

substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
17

relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
18

reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the
19

hearing.
20

(2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
21

hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
22

(3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
23

counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
24

appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
25

opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
26

own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are

SB3304
- 11 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b
1

called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given
2

adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before
3

any hearing at which conditions of release or the
4

detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an
5

accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate
6

attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to
7

confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing
8

conducted via a 2-way audio-visual communication system,
9

such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be
10

undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.
11

(3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be
12

denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of 2-way
13

audio visual communication) unless the accused waives the
14

right to be present physically in court, the court
15

determines that the physical health and safety of any
16

person necessary to the proceedings would be endangered by
17

appearing in court, or the chief judge of the circuit
18

orders use of that system due to operational challenges in
19

conducting the hearing in person. Such operational
20

challenges must be documented and approved by the chief
21

judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the challenges
22

through reasonable efforts must be presented and approved
23

by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts every
24

6 months.
25

(4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining
26

witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall

SB3304
- 12 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b
1

petition the court for permission. When the ends of
2

justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion
3

and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
4

court shall state on the record reasons for granting a
5

defense request to compel the presence of a complaining
6

witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial
7

detention. In making a determination under this Section,
8

the court shall state on the record the reason for
9

granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
10

complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
11

court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
12

defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
13

witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a
14

complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
15

the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
16

insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
17

In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
18

complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
19

emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The
20

pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
21

of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
22

do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
23

prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's
24

criminal history, if available, and any written or
25

recorded statements and the substance of any oral
26

statements made by any person, if in the State's

SB3304
- 13 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b
1

Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.
2

(5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
3

in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
4

consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
5

concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
6

neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
7

other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
8

State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for
9

impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
10

Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
11

(6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
12

a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
13

crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
14

seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
15

relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
16

the defendant.
17

(7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of
18

release, and detention prior to trial must be
19

individualized, and no single factor or standard may be
20

used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools
21

may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
22

(g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
23
dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
24
defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any
25
person or persons or the community, based on the specific
26
articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be

SB3304
- 14 -
LRB104 18121 RLC 31560 b
1
limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:
2

(1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
3

charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
4

violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
5

(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
6

including:
7

(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
8

history indicative of violent, abusive, or assaultive
9

behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
10

include testimony or documents received in juvenile
11

proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
12

prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;

23
defendant's willful flight from prosecution.
24

denying his or her pretrial release.

7
proceedings.

10

Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph
