IL HB4906

Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to expand grounds for denying pretrial release to include defendants who have abused/manipulated the pretrial release system causing undue delay or who have shown they will not appear for court regardless of release conditions

Extends the timeline for the State to file pretrial detention petitions from 21 calendar days to 45 calendar days after arrest and release, with additional 14-day windows when new qualifying charges are filed

Adds violation of pretrial release conditions (Section 32-10) to the list of offenses that may trigger pretrial detention when the defendant poses a real and present threat to public safety

Separates weapons offenses into individual enumerated categories (unlawful possession by felons, aggravated unlawful possession, aggravated possession of stolen firearm) rather than grouping them as "non-probationable violations"

Requires defendants seeking reconsideration of detention to present verified applications detailing new facts not known or obtainable at the previous hearing, and courts granting release must state findings of fact and conclusions of law on the record
