CRIM PRO-PRETRIAL DETENTION

Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that upon verified petition by the State, the court shall hold a hearing and may deny a defendant pretrial release if the defendant is charged with: (1) violation of conditions of pretrial release, and it is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release poses a real and present threat to the safety of any person or persons or the community, based on the specific articulable facts of the case; or (2) a felony or misdemeanor offense and (i) has abused and manipulated the pretrial release system causing undue delay on the proceedings or (ii) has shown that he or she will not appear for court regardless of the conditions of release that are imposed. Establishes timelines for different offenses for filing petitions seeking pretrial detention. Provides that if the State seeks as a basis to file a petition for pretrial detention that a person charged with a felony or misdemeanor offense (i) has abused and manipulated the pretrial release system causing undue delay on the proceedings or (ii) has shown that he or she will not appear for court regardless of the conditions of release that are imposed, the State shall be required to present a verified application setting forth in detail the conduct of the defendant that forms the basis of the allegation that the defendant has abused and manipulated the pretrial release system causing undue delay on the proceedings or has shown that he will not appear for court regardless of the conditions of release that are imposed. Provides that upon verified application by the defendant, the court before which the proceeding is pending may reconsider the continued detention of the defendant. Provides that the defendant shall be required to present a verified application setting forth in detail any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the previous detention hearing. Provides that if the court grants release where it had previously detained the defendant, the court shall state on the record of the proceedings the findings of facts and conclusions of law upon which such order is based. Makes other changes.
