HB1207 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to revise procedures for pretrial release, including revocation and sanctions.

HB1207 modifies the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to change how pretrial release is handled in Illinois. It specifies that pretrial release may be revoked if a defendant is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor after being granted release for a lesser offense. The court must hold a hearing to determine if revocation is warranted. If the defendant violates a no-contact order, the State must file a verified petition for revocation. The court may impose sanctions instead of revoking release, such as admonishments, short-term imprisonment, or modifying release conditions.
