Bill > SB3089

This bill modifies the timeframe for pretrial detention hearings in Illinois when a continuance is granted. Specifically, if a defendant is charged with first-degree murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony, and a continuance is requested and granted for a hearing on pretrial detention (a hearing to determine if a defendant should be held in jail before trial), that hearing must now be held within 72 hours of the defendant's first appearance in court, rather than the previous 48-hour limit. This change aims to provide more time for parties to prepare for these critical hearings in cases involving serious offenses.
