Summary as Introduced

Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that, upon the filing of a petition or a motion by the State or the court, the court shall order the revocation of the defendant's pretrial release when a defendant who was previously granted pretrial release is charged with a violation of a felony or Class A misdemeanor committed while on pretrial release. Provides that when a defendant previously granted pretrial release is charged with violation of a Class B or C misdemeanor committed while on pretrial release, the State may seek revocation of the defendant's pretrial release under the Code. Provides that a court shall deny a defendant charged with a Class X felony pretrial release only if: (1) the offense with which the defendant has been charged is not specifically enumerated in the denial of pretrial release provisions of the Code; and (2) prior to denial of pretrial release, the court has determined there is probable cause the defendant has committed a Class X felony, pursuant to the probable cause hearing in the denial of pretrial release provisions of the Code. Makes other changes.
