7     Sec. 5-5-5. Loss and Restoration of Rights.
8     (a) Conviction and disposition shall not entail the loss by

1 shall not apply to the suspension or revocation of a license to
2 operate a motor vehicle under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
3     (e) Upon a person's discharge from incarceration or parole,
4 or upon a person's discharge from probation or at any time
5 thereafter, the committing court may enter an order certifying
6 that the sentence has been satisfactorily completed when the
7 court believes it would assist in the rehabilitation of the
8 person and be consistent with the public welfare. Such order
9 may be entered upon the motion of the defendant or the State or
10 upon the court's own motion.
11     (f) Upon entry of the order, the court shall issue to the
12 person in whose favor the order has been entered a certificate
13 stating that his behavior after conviction has warranted the

17 of subsequent proceedings for the same offense.
18     (h) No application for any license specified in subsection
19 (i) of this Section granted under the authority of this State
20 shall be denied by reason of an eligible offender who has
21 obtained a certificate of relief from disabilities, as defined
22 in Article 5.5 of this Chapter, having been previously
23 convicted of one or more criminal offenses, or by reason of a
24 finding of lack of "good moral character" when the finding is
25 based upon the fact that the applicant has previously been
26 convicted of one or more criminal offenses, unless:

 

 

HB5783 Enrolled - 54 - LRB096 16775 ASK 32075 b

1         (1) there is a direct relationship between one or more
2     of the previous criminal offenses and the specific license
3     sought; or
4         (2) the issuance of the license would involve an
5     unreasonable risk to property or to the safety or welfare
6     of specific individuals or the general public.
7     In making such a determination, the licensing agency shall
8 consider the following factors:
9         (1) the public policy of this State, as expressed in
10     Article 5.5 of this Chapter, to encourage the licensure and
11     employment of persons previously convicted of one or more
12     criminal offenses;
13         (2) the specific duties and responsibilities
14     necessarily related to the license being sought;
15         (3) the bearing, if any, the criminal offenses or
16     offenses for which the person was previously convicted will
17     have on his or her fitness or ability to perform one or
18     more such duties and responsibilities;
19         (4) the time which has elapsed since the occurrence of
20     the criminal offense or offenses;
21         (5) the age of the person at the time of occurrence of
22     the criminal offense or offenses;
23         (6) the seriousness of the offense or offenses;
24         (7) any information produced by the person or produced
25     on his or her behalf in regard to his or her rehabilitation
26     and good conduct, including a certificate of relief from

 

 

HB5783 Enrolled - 55 - LRB096 16775 ASK 32075 b

1     disabilities issued to the applicant, which certificate
2     shall create a presumption of rehabilitation in regard to
3     the offense or offenses specified in the certificate; and
4         (8) the legitimate interest of the licensing agency in
5     protecting property, and the safety and welfare of specific
6     individuals or the general public.
7     (i) A certificate of relief from disabilities shall be
8 issued only for a license or certification issued under the
9 following Acts:
10         (1) the Animal Welfare Act; except that a certificate
11     of relief from disabilities may not be granted to provide
12     for the issuance or restoration of a license under the

14     Section 3, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane
