HB4933

Illinois HB4933 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish conditions under which a court may deny pretrial release to a defendant.

HB4933 outlines specific circumstances under which a court may deny pretrial release to a defendant in Illinois. The bill allows for the denial of pretrial release if the defendant is charged with certain felonies, including crimes of violence or sex offenses, and if the defendant's release poses a threat to public safety. The State must present clear and convincing evidence to support the denial of release. The defendant has the right to legal representation and to appeal the court's decision.
