AI Summary
This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to establish a new provision regarding pretrial release for non-citizens. Specifically, it states that a non-citizen who entered the United States without a legal visa issued by the U.S. Department of State, and who is charged with an offense in Illinois for which pretrial detention can be ordered, will be ineligible for pretrial release and must be held in detention until their trial if they did not possess a legal visa at the time the offense was committed. This change is made "notwithstanding any other provision of the denial of pretrial release statute to the contrary," meaning this new rule overrides existing laws on pretrial release in these specific circumstances.
