Bill > HB2402

This bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections by removing a specific provision related to pretrial home confinement that previously mandated participants be allowed movement outside their residence spread over at least two days per week. The existing law outlines various approved reasons for leaving home during electronic monitoring, such as work, seeking employment, medical treatment, education, religious services, community service, and purchasing necessities. By deleting the language about mandatory movement days, the bill gives supervising authorities more discretion in determining the movement restrictions for individuals under pretrial home confinement. The bill maintains other existing requirements, such as participants admitting designated agents for compliance verification, maintaining a working telephone and monitoring device, obtaining approval for residence or schedule changes, and not committing additional crimes. This change potentially allows for more flexible or restrictive home confinement arrangements depending on the specific circumstances of each case.
