IL SB3505

Requires arrest warrants and summons to command the person be brought before court at a specific day, time, and courtroom number, or the nearest or most accessible court in the same county, or appear before the court at a certain time and place.

Allows judges to issue arrest warrants or summons based on sworn complaint or testimony communicated through simultaneous video and audio transmission between the requester and judge.

Requires the county where an outstanding warrant exists to either transport the person to the issuing county for a hearing within 5 calendar days after any detention in the arresting county, or mark the warrant as served and release the person.

If the issuing county fails to take action within 5 calendar days, the circuit judge in the arresting county must release the defendant on pretrial release and schedule their appearance before the court named in the warrant based on the court day, time, and courtroom number listed on the warrant.

Permits the issuing county to conduct hearings via two-way audio-visual communication system if the defendant waives physical presence, the court finds health and safety concerns, or the chief judge orders it due to operational challenges.
