Illinois · 104th session
Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that upon verified petition by the State, the court shall hold a hearing and may deny a defendant pretrial release if the defendant is charged with stalking or aggravated stalking, and it is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release poses a real and present threat to the safety of a victim of the alleged offense, based on the specific articulable facts of the case (rather than denial of release is necessary to prevent fulfillment of the threat upon which the charge is based).
