| |||||||||||||||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | |||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Section 110-6.5 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | (725 ILCS 5/110-6.5)
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | Sec. 110-6.5. Drug testing program. The
The Chief Judge of | |||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | the circuit may establish a drug testing program as provided
by | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | this Section in any county in the circuit if the county board | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | has approved
the establishment of the program and the county | |||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | probation department or
pretrial services agency has consented | |||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | to administer it. The drug testing
program shall be conducted | |||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | under the following provisions: | |||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | (a) The court, in the case of a defendant charged with a | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | felony offense or
any offense involving the possession or | |||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | delivery of cannabis or a
controlled substance, shall:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | (1) not consider the release of the defendant on his or | |||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | her own
recognizance, unless the defendant consents to | |||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | periodic drug testing during
the period of release on his | |||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | or her own recognizance, in accordance with this
Section;
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | (2) consider the consent of the defendant to periodic | |||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | drug testing
during the period of release on bail in | |||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | accordance with this Section as a
favorable factor for the | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | defendant in determining the amount of bail, the
conditions | ||||||
| 2 | of release or in considering the defendant's motion to | ||||||
| 3 | reduce
the amount of bail.
| ||||||
| 4 | (b) The drug testing shall be conducted by the pretrial | ||||||
| 5 | services agency or
under the direction of the probation | ||||||
| 6 | department when a pretrial services
agency does not exist in | ||||||
| 7 | accordance with this Section.
| ||||||
| 8 | (c) A defendant who consents to periodic drug testing as | ||||||
| 9 | set forth in this
Section
shall sign an agreement with the | ||||||
| 10 | court that, during the period of release,
the defendant shall | ||||||
| 11 | refrain from using illegal drugs and that the
defendant will | ||||||
| 12 | comply with the conditions of the testing program. The
| ||||||
| 13 | agreement shall be on a form prescribed by the court and shall | ||||||
| 14 | be executed
at the time of the bail hearing. This agreement | ||||||
| 15 | shall be made a specific
condition of bail.
| ||||||
| 16 | (d) The drug testing program shall be conducted as follows:
| ||||||
| 17 | (1) The testing shall be done by urinalysis for the | ||||||
| 18 | detection of
phencyclidine, heroin, cocaine, methadone and | ||||||
| 19 | amphetamines.
| ||||||
| 20 | (2) The collection of samples shall be performed under | ||||||
| 21 | reasonable and
sanitary conditions.
| ||||||
| 22 | (3) Samples shall be collected and tested with due | ||||||
| 23 | regard for the
privacy of the individual being tested and | ||||||
| 24 | in a manner reasonably
calculated to prevent substitutions | ||||||
| 25 | or interference with the collection or
testing of reliable | ||||||
| 26 | samples.
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (4) Sample collection shall be documented, and the | ||||||
| 2 | documentation
procedures shall include:
| ||||||
| 3 | (i) Labeling of samples so as to reasonably | ||||||
| 4 | preclude the probability of
erroneous identification | ||||||
| 5 | of test results; and
| ||||||
| 6 | (ii) An opportunity for the defendant to provide | ||||||
| 7 | information on the
identification of prescription or | ||||||
| 8 | nonprescription drugs used in connection
with a | ||||||
| 9 | medical condition.
| ||||||
| 10 | (5) Sample collection, storage, and transportation to | ||||||
| 11 | the place of
testing shall be performed so as to reasonably | ||||||
| 12 | preclude the probability of
sample contamination or | ||||||
| 13 | adulteration.
| ||||||
| 14 | (6) Sample testing shall conform to scientifically | ||||||
| 15 | accepted analytical
methods and procedures. Testing shall | ||||||
| 16 | include verification or confirmation
of any positive test | ||||||
| 17 | result by a reliable analytical method before the
result of | ||||||
| 18 | any test may be used as a basis for any action by the | ||||||
| 19 | court.
| ||||||
| 20 | (e) The initial sample shall be collected before the | ||||||
| 21 | defendant's release
on bail. Thereafter, the defendant shall | ||||||
| 22 | report to the pretrial services
agency or probation department | ||||||
| 23 | as required
by the agency or department. The pretrial
services | ||||||
| 24 | agency or probation department shall
immediately notify the | ||||||
| 25 | court of
any defendant who fails to report for testing.
| ||||||
| 26 | (f) After the initial test, a subsequent confirmed positive | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | test result
indicative of continued drug use shall result in | ||||||
| 2 | the following:
| ||||||
| 3 | (1) Upon the first confirmed positive test result, the | ||||||
| 4 | pretrial services
agency or probation department, shall | ||||||
| 5 | place the defendant on a more
frequent testing schedule and | ||||||
| 6 | shall warn the defendant of the consequences
of continued | ||||||
| 7 | drug use.
| ||||||
| 8 | (2) A second confirmed positive test result shall be | ||||||
| 9 | grounds for a
hearing before the judge who authorized the | ||||||
| 10 | release of the defendant in
accordance with the provisions | ||||||
| 11 | of subsection (g) of this Section.
| ||||||
| 12 | (g) The court shall, upon motion of the State or upon its | ||||||
| 13 | own motion,
conduct a hearing in connection with any defendant | ||||||
| 14 | who fails to appear for
testing, fails to cooperate with the | ||||||
| 15 | persons conducting the testing
program, attempts to submit a | ||||||
| 16 | sample not his or her own or has had a
confirmed positive test | ||||||
| 17 | result indicative of continued drug use for the second
or | ||||||
| 18 | subsequent time after the
initial test. The hearing shall be | ||||||
| 19 | conducted in accordance with the
procedures of Section 110-6.
| ||||||
| 20 | Upon a finding by the court that the State has established | ||||||
| 21 | by clear and
convincing evidence that the defendant has | ||||||
| 22 | violated the drug testing
conditions of bail, the court may | ||||||
| 23 | consider any of the following sanctions:
| ||||||
| 24 | (1) increase the amount of the defendant's bail or | ||||||
| 25 | conditions of release;
| ||||||
| 26 | (2) impose a jail sentence of up to 5 days;
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (3) revoke the defendant's bail; or
| ||||||
| 2 | (4) enter such other orders which are within the power | ||||||
| 3 | of the court as
deemed appropriate.
| ||||||
| 4 | (h) The results of any drug testing conducted under this | ||||||
| 5 | Section
shall not be admissible on the issue of the defendant's | ||||||
| 6 | guilt in connection
with any criminal charge.
| ||||||
| 7 | (i) The court may require that the defendant pay for the | ||||||
| 8 | cost of drug
testing.
