         (4) Not violate any criminal statute of any
    
jurisdiction;
        (5) At a time and place designated by the court,
    
surrender all firearms in his or her possession to a law enforcement officer designated by the court to take custody of and impound the firearms and physically surrender his or her Firearm Owner’s Identification Card to the clerk of the circuit court when the offense the person has been charged with is a forcible felony, stalking, aggravated stalking, domestic battery, any violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or the Cannabis Control Act that is classified as a Class 2 or greater felony, or any felony violation of Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; the court may, however, forgo the imposition of this condition when the circumstances of the case clearly do not warrant it or when its imposition would be impractical; if the Firearm Owner’s Identification Card is confiscated, the clerk of the circuit court shall mail the confiscated card to the Illinois State Police; all legally possessed firearms shall be returned to the person upon the charges being dismissed, or if the person is found not guilty, unless the finding of not guilty is by reason of insanity; and
        (6) At a time and place designated by the court,
    
submit to a psychological evaluation when the person has been charged with a violation of item (4) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 and that violation occurred in a school or in any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a school to transport students to or from school or a school-related activity, or on any public way within 1,000 feet of real property comprising any school.
    Psychological evaluations ordered pursuant to this Section shall be completed promptly and made available to the State, the defendant, and the court. As a further condition of pretrial release under these circumstances, the court shall order the defendant to refrain from entering upon the property of the school, including any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a school to transport students to or from school or a school-related activity, or on any public way within 1,000 feet of real property comprising any school. Upon receipt of the psychological evaluation, either the State or the defendant may request a change in the conditions of pretrial release, pursuant to Section 110-6 of this Code. The court may change the conditions of pretrial release to include a requirement that the defendant follow the recommendations of the psychological evaluation, including undergoing psychiatric treatment. The conclusions of the psychological evaluation and any statements elicited from the defendant during its administration are not admissible as evidence of guilt during the course of any trial on the charged offense, unless the defendant places his or her mental competency in issue.
     (b) Additional conditions of release shall be set only when it is determined that they are necessary to ensure the defendant’s appearance in court, ensure the defendant does not commit any criminal offense, ensure the defendant complies with all conditions of pretrial release, prevent the defendant’s unlawful interference with the orderly administration of justice, or ensure compliance with the rules and procedures of problem solving courts. However, conditions shall include the least restrictive means and be individualized. Conditions shall not mandate rehabilitative services unless directly tied to the risk of pretrial misconduct. Conditions of supervision shall not include punitive measures such as community service work or restitution. Conditions may include the following:

        (7) Comply with the terms and conditions of an order
    
of protection issued by the court under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 or an order of protection issued by the court of another state, tribe, or United States territory;

she comply with the provisions of Section 110-12 regarding any change in his or her address. The defendant’s address shall at all times remain a matter of record with the clerk of the court; and
        (9) Such other reasonable conditions as the court may
    
impose, so long as these conditions are the least restrictive means to achieve the goals listed in subsection (b), are individualized, and are in accordance with national best practices as detailed in the Pretrial Supervision Standards of the Supreme Court.
    The defendant shall receive verbal and written notification of conditions of pretrial release and future court dates, including the date, time, and location of court.
     (c) When a person is charged with an offense under Section 11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60, 12-13, 12-14, 12-14.1, 12-15 or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, involving a victim who is a minor under 18 years of age living in the same household with the defendant at the time of the offense, in releasing the defendant, the judge shall impose conditions to restrict the defendant’s access to the victim which may include, but are not limited to conditions that he will:
         1. Vacate the household.
         2. Make payment of temporary support to his
    
dependents.
        3. Refrain from contact or communication with the
    
child victim, except as ordered by the court.
    (d) When a person is charged with a criminal offense and the victim is a family or household member as defined in Article 112A, conditions shall be imposed at the time of the defendant’s release that restrict the defendant’s access to the victim. Unless provided otherwise by the court, the restrictions shall include requirements that the defendant do the following:
         (1) refrain from contact or communication with the
    
victim for a minimum period of 72 hours following the defendant’s release; and

    (e) Local law enforcement agencies shall develop standardized pretrial release forms for use in cases involving family or household members as defined in Article 112A, including specific conditions of pretrial release as provided in subsection (d).

     (f) If the defendant is released after conviction following appeal or other post-conviction proceeding, the conditions of the pretrial release shall be that he will, in addition to the conditions set forth in subsections (a) and (b) hereof:
         (1) Duly prosecute his appeal;
         (2) Appear at such time and place as the court may
    
direct;
        (3) Not depart this State without leave of the court;
         (4) Comply with such other reasonable conditions as
    
the court may impose; and
        (5) If the judgment is affirmed or the cause reversed
    
and remanded for a new trial, forthwith surrender to the officer from whose custody he was released.
