19 defendant was sentenced;
20 (13) contribute a reasonable sum of money, not to

19 complied with all of the conditions of supervision, the court
20 shall discharge the defendant and enter a judgment dismissing
21 the charges.
22 (f) Discharge and dismissal upon a successful conclusion
23 of a disposition of supervision shall be deemed without
24 adjudication of guilt and shall not be termed a conviction
25 for purposes of disqualification or disabilities imposed by
26 law upon conviction of a crime. The expungement and sealing
27 of arrest and court records of a person who has successfully
28 concluded a disposition of supervision is governed by Section
29 5 of the Criminal Identification Act. Two years after the
30 discharge and dismissal under this Section, unless the
31 disposition of supervision was for a violation of Sections
32 3-707, 3-708, 3-710, 5-401.3, or 11-503 of the Illinois
33 Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance, or
34 for a violation of Sections 12-3.2 or 16A-3 of the Criminal
-14- LRB9111730RCpk
1 Code of 1961, in which case it shall be 5 years after
2 discharge and dismissal, a person may have his record of
3 arrest sealed or expunged as may be provided by law.
4 However, any defendant placed on supervision before January
5 1, 1980, may move for sealing or expungement of his arrest
6 record, as provided by law, at any time after discharge and
7 dismissal under this Section. A person placed on supervision
8 for a sexual offense committed against a minor as defined in
9 subsection (g) of Section 5 of the Criminal Identification
10 Act or for a violation of Section 11-501 of the Illinois
11 Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance
12 shall not have his or her record of arrest sealed or
13 expunged.
14 (g) A defendant placed on supervision and who during the
15 period of supervision undergoes mandatory drug or alcohol
16 testing, or both, or is assigned to be placed on an approved
17 electronic monitoring device, shall be ordered to pay the
18 costs incidental to such mandatory drug or alcohol testing,
19 or both, and costs incidental to such approved electronic
20 monitoring in accordance with the defendant's ability to pay
21 those costs. The county board with the concurrence of the
22 Chief Judge of the judicial circuit in which the county is
23 located shall establish reasonable fees for the cost of
24 maintenance, testing, and incidental expenses related to the
25 mandatory drug or alcohol testing, or both, and all costs
26 incidental to approved electronic monitoring, of all
27 defendants placed on supervision. The concurrence of the
28 Chief Judge shall be in the form of an administrative order.
29 The fees shall be collected by the clerk of the circuit
30 court. The clerk of the circuit court shall pay all moneys
31 collected from these fees to the county treasurer who shall
32 use the moneys collected to defray the costs of drug testing,
33 alcohol testing, and electronic monitoring. The county
34 treasurer shall deposit the fees collected in the county
-15- LRB9111730RCpk
1 working cash fund under Section 6-27001 or Section 6-29002 of
2 the Counties Code, as the case may be.
3 (h) A disposition of supervision is a final order for
4 the purposes of appeal.
5 (i) The court shall impose upon a defendant placed on
6 supervision after January 1, 1992, as a condition of
7 supervision, a fee of $25 for each month of supervision
8 ordered by the court, unless after determining the inability
9 of the person placed on supervision to pay the fee, the court
10 assesses a lesser fee. The court may not impose the fee on a
11 minor who is made a ward of the State under the Juvenile
12 Court Act of 1987 while the minor is in placement. The fee
13 shall be imposed only upon a defendant who is actively
14 supervised by the probation and court services department.
15 The fee shall be collected by the clerk of the circuit court.
