Bill > HB4103

This bill eliminates the provision that previously allowed defendants to receive sentencing credit for time spent in home detention. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously required trial courts to give credit to defendants for home detention at the same rate as incarceration. The bill deletes definitions that characterized home detention as a form of custody, including restrictions like curfews lasting 12 hours or more per day and electronic monitoring. Previously, electronic monitoring was not required for home detention to be considered custodial for sentencing credit purposes. By removing these provisions, the bill effectively prevents defendants from receiving sentence reductions for time spent in home detention. The changes apply across various sections of the Illinois Unified Code of Corrections, affecting sentencing guidelines for different classes of felonies and misdemeanors, and aim to standardize how time served is calculated by eliminating home detention as a creditable form of custody.
