Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that when a defendant has previously been granted pretrial release for a felony or Class A misdemeanor, that pretrial release may be revoked after a hearing on the court's own motion or upon the filing of a verified petition by the State if the defendant: (1) is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial release; (2) has abused or manipulated the pretrial release system causing undue delay on the proceedings; or (3) has shown that he or she will not appear for court regardless of the conditions of release that are imposed (rather than when a defendant has previously been granted pretrial release for a felony or Class A misdemeanor, that pretrial release may be revoked only if the defendant is charged with a felony or Class A misdemeanor that is alleged to have occurred during the defendant's pretrial release). Establishes procedures for the pretrial release revocation hearings. Provides that the revocation hearing shall occur within 96 (rather than 72) hours of the filing of the State's petition or the court's motion for revocation. Provides that sanctions for violations of pretrial release may include imprisonment in the county jail for a period not exceeding 60 (rather than 30) days.
