As amended through September 23, 2024
Rule 15.03 - Violations of Probation, Conditional Discharge and Court Supervision
A. Notice to Defendant

Violations of Probation, Conditional Discharge and Court Supervision shall be brought to the attention of the Court on petition filed by the State's Attorney or Probation Department. On Motion of the State's Attorney, the Court shall direct that the Clerk notify the defendant and his attorney of said filing pursuant to Supreme Court Rule. Notice to defendant shall be at his last known address based on records of the Court and/or Probation Department; and, upon appearance of the defendant, the matter shall be set down for a date certain for hearing unless otherwise provided by State statute.

The attorney of record shall continue to be of record until thirty (30) days after the entry of the original order. Thereafter, notice of the Petition to revoke to the attorney is not mandatory. Notice to the defendant is mandatory. However, notice to the former attorney of record as a courtesy is suggested.

B. Warrants

Upon due proof of service of notice on defendant at his address described above, his failure to appear may cause, on Motion of the State's Attorney, a warrant to issue for his arrest.

C. Petitions to Revoke (Felony Charges) - Assignment of Judge

Petitions to Revoke shall be assigned to the Judge that entered the original order. If the Judge that entered the original order is no longer serving in the Felony Division, the Petition to Revoke shall be filed before the Presiding Judge of the Felony Division, who shall thereupon assign the case to a Judge serving in the Felony Division.
