Provides that a person subject to bail on a Category B offense shall have $30 deducted from his or her 10% cash bond amount (rather than monetary bail) every day the person is incarcerated. Provides that the sheriff shall calculate and apply this $30 per day reduction and send notice to the circuit clerk if a defendant's 10% cash bond amount is reduced to $0, at which point the defendant shall be released upon his or her own recognizance. Provides that the court may deny a rehearing within 7 calendar days for a Category B offense on which a person is incarcerated due to an inability to post monetary bail, if the person has failed to appear as required before the court and is incarcerated based on a warrant for failure to appear on the same original criminal offense. Makes other changes.
