SB2707

SB2707 amends Illinois criminal law to modify pretrial release conditions and sentencing credit provisions.

SB2707 modifies the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow courts to deny pretrial release if the defendant poses a threat to public safety. It specifies conditions under which release can be denied, such as when the defendant is charged with certain violent crimes or has violated a protective order. The bill also outlines the process for hearings and the rights of defendants and victims. Additionally, it amends the Unified Code of Corrections to change how credit for time served is calculated, including credit for home detention and psychiatric or substance abuse treatment.
