SB3091 amends Illinois criminal procedure to modify pretrial release criteria and procedures.

SB3091 amends the Illinois Code of Criminal Procedure to revise the criteria and procedures for pretrial release. It specifies that all defendants are presumed eligible for pretrial release unless the state proves by clear and convincing evidence that release poses a threat to public safety. The bill outlines specific offenses where pretrial release may be denied, such as certain drug offenses, domestic violence, and other violent crimes. It also mandates that hearings on pretrial release be conducted in person unless specific conditions are met.
