Public Act 44 provides that a person may not be released on an interim bond or on his or her own recognizance before being taken before a court, but must be held until he or she can be brought before a magistrate for arraignment or, if a magistrate is not available or immediate trial cannot be held within 24 hours, the person must be held for 20 hours, after which he or she may be released on interim bond or on his or her own recognizance if the person either is 1) arrested without a warrant for simple or aggravated assault and has a child in common with the victim, resides or has resided in the same household as the victim, or is a spouse or former spouse of the victim; or 2) is arrested with a warrant for simple or aggravated assault and is a spouse or former spouse, or a person who resides or has resided in the same household as the victim. The bill would add to the second condition a person who had a child in common with the victim. The bill specifies that a person arrested under either condition could be released on an interim bond or on his or her own recognizance but would have to be arraigned or have interim bond set by a judge or district court magistrate. If the judge or magistrate set interim bond, the person could be released only subject to the condition that he or she not have or attempt to have contact of any kind with the victim.
