OFFENSE CODE INDEX

This index does not list all offenses and is intended only as a ready reference guide to enforcement sections in the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS). All users should be alert to any new legislative or Practice Rules that may affect its accuracy. IN EVERY CASE, THE PERTINENT ILCS SECTION SHOULD BE READ TO DETERMINE THE PROPER CHARGE AND BAIL.

This code may differ from codes other law enforcement agencies may collect.

BAIL BOND AND APPEARANCE PROCEDURES

The bail amounts specified in the Offense Code Index are preset in the Practice Rules to avoid undue delay in freeing certain persons accused of an offense when, because of the hour or circumstances, it is not practical to take the accused before a judge to have bail set.

SUPREME COURT RULE 553. POSTING BAIL

(A) By Whom and Where Taken. The several circuit clerks, deputy circuit clerks and law enforcement officers designated by name or office by the chief judge of the circuit are authorized to let to bail any person arrested for or charged with an offense covered by Rules 526, 527 and 528. Upon designation by the chief judge of the circuit, bail may be taken in accordance with this article in any county, municipal or other building housing governmental units, police station, sheriff's office or jail, district headquarters building of the Illinois State Police, weigh station, or portable scale unit established for enforcement of truck violations under Rule 526(b)(1) or similar municipal ordinances. Bail deposits by credit card, debit card or by any other electronic means may only be accepted upon the approval of the chief judge and the circuit clerk's ability to accept such deposits. Individual bonds under paragraph (d) of this rule may additionally be taken as designated by the chief judge of the circuit.

(B) Copy of Bond?Receipt for Cash Bail. A carbon copy of the bond or an official receipt showing the amount of cash bail posted, specifying the time and place of court appearance, shall be furnished to the accused and shall constitute a receipt for bail. The bond, cash bail, or both, shall be delivered to the office of the circuit clerk of the county in which the violation occurred within 48 hours of receipt or within the time set for the accused's appearance in court, whichever is earlier. Each delivery, deposit, or transmission shall identify the Complaint(s) associated with the amounts delivered, deposited, or otherwise transmitted.

(C) Driver's License or Bond Certificate. If an accused deposits a driver's license with the arresting officer in lieu of bail or in addition to bail, or deposits a bond certificate, the arresting officer shall note that fact on the accused's copy of the ticket and transmit the driver's

(E) Alternative Procedure in Minor Cases ? Counties Other Than Cook. In any case, excluding citations written by local law enforcement in Cook County, in which the bail or bond specified by Rule 526, 527 or 528 does not exceed $300 in United States currency, an accused not required to be fingerprinted may post bond by giving the United States currency to the sworn law enforcement officer. The officer shall provide the accused with a copy of the citation duly noted with the amount of the United States currency posted as bond. The accused shall then be released from custody. In such cases, the officer will deliver the appropriate portions(s) of the ticket along with the United States currency as bond(s) to the clerk of the circuit court or a designated building approved by the issuing law enforcement agency and approved by the receiving law enforcement agency before the end of his or her current tour of duty.

NOTICE TO APPEAR

Whenever a peace officer is authorized to arrest a person without a warrant, the officer may instead issue to such person a Notice to Appear. The notice shall be in writing; state the name of the person and his address, if known; set forth the nature of the offense; be signed by the officer issuing the notice; and request the person to appear before a court at a certain time and place. Upon failure of the person to appear, a summons or warrant of arrest may be issued.

The basic Rule 526(a) presets bail for minor traffic cases equal to the Schedule 12 assessment, as provided in section 15-60 of the Criminal and Traffic Assessment Act (705 ILCS 135/1560), of $164. Bail is preset to avoid undue delay when it is not practicable to bring the accused before a judge.
