HB1174 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to revise rules for electronic monitoring and home detention. It ensures that travel to and from approved employment is not denied based on the transient nature of the job, provided the participant gives timely notice. It also allows for approved absences from home for activities like attending religious services, participating in community service, and purchasing necessities. The bill mandates that participants maintain a working telephone and a monitoring device, and requires approval for changes in residence or schedule.
