IL SB3641

Changes the bail bond violation offense (Section 32-10) so that knowingly failing to surrender within 30 days after bail forfeiture for a felony charge results in a felony of the same class rather than the next lower class.

Eliminates the provision that reduced bail bond violations to Class A misdemeanors when the underlying offense was a Class 4 felony.

Removes the provision allowing misdemeanor-level charges for bail bond violations related to misdemeanor charges or witness appearance requirements.

Adds new Section S-5 to the Unified Code of Corrections to prohibit probation, periodic imprisonment, or conditional discharge for Class 4 or greater felony violations of the bail bond statute, requiring mandatory incarceration.

Sentences imposed for bail bond violations must be served consecutively to sentences imposed for the underlying charges for which bail was granted.
