09600SB1030ham001 - 23 - LRB096 07100 RLC 26258 a

1 Attorney, and other interested persons concerning the
2 advisability of filing a petition under Section 5-520, with a
3 view to adjusting suitable cases without the filing of a
4 petition as provided for in this Article, the probation officer

6 Attorney insists on court action or when the minor has
7 indicated that he or she will demand a judicial hearing and
8 will not comply with a probation adjustment.
9     (1-b) In any case of a minor who is in custody, the holding
10 of a probation adjustment conference does not operate to
11 prolong temporary custody beyond the period permitted by

13     (2) This Section does not authorize any probation officer
14 to compel any person to appear at any conference, produce any
15 papers, or visit any place.
16     (3) No statement made during a preliminary conference in
17 regard to the offense that is the subject of the conference may
18 be admitted into evidence at an adjudicatory hearing or at any
19 proceeding against the minor under the criminal laws of this
20 State prior to his or her conviction under those laws.
21     (4) When a probation adjustment is appropriate, the
22 probation officer shall promptly formulate a written,
23 non-judicial adjustment plan following the initial conference.
24     (5) Non-judicial probation adjustment plans include but
25 are not limited to the following:
26         (a) up to 6 months informal supervision within the

2 court records.
3     (0.05) For purposes of this Section:
4         "Expunge" means to physically destroy the records or
5     return them to the petitioner and to obliterate the
6     petitioner's name from any official index or public record,
7     or both. Nothing in this Act shall require the physical
8     destruction of the circuit court file, but such records
9     relating to arrests or charges, or both, ordered expunged
10     shall be impounded as required by law.
11         "Law enforcement record" includes but is not limited to
12     records of arrest, station adjustments, fingerprints,
13     probation adjustments, the issuance of a notice to appear,
14     or any other records maintained by a local law enforcement

17     (1) Any local law enforcement agency maintaining law
18 enforcement records pertaining to a minor who has been arrested
19 shall automatically expunge those records 18 months from the
20 date of the arrest of the minor only if (a) the minor has been
21 arrested but no petitions for delinquency have ever been filed
22 with the clerk of the circuit court and no criminal proceedings
23 have been instituted pursuant to Section 5-805; (b) the arrest
24 is not for an act that if committed by an adult would
25 constitute: (i) homicide, (ii) an offense involving a deadly
26 weapon, (iii) a sex offense as defined in the Sex Offender

 

 

09600SB1030ham001 - 26 - LRB096 07100 RLC 26258 a

3 arrest for an act that if committed by an adult would
4 constitute a felony; and (d) the minor has not been
5 subsequently arrested within that 18 month period.
6     (1.5) If a minor is arrested, at the time the minor is
7 released from custody the youth officer, if applicable, or
8 other designated person from the arresting agency, shall notify
9 verbally and in writing to the minor or the minor's parents or
10 guardians that 18 months after the arrest, the minor's law
11 enforcement records will be automatically expunged if (a) the
12 minor has been arrested but no petitions for delinquency have
13 ever been filed with the clerk of the circuit court and no
14 criminal proceedings have been instituted pursuant to Section
15 5-805; (b) the arrest is not for an act that if committed by an
16 adult would constitute: (i) homicide, (ii) an offense involving
17 a deadly weapon, (iii) a sex offense as defined in the Sex
18 Offender Registration Act, or (iv) aggravated domestic
19 battery; (c) there is no ongoing investigation relating to the
20 minor's arrest for an act that if committed by an adult would
21 constitute a felony; and (d) the minor has not been
22 subsequently arrested within that 18 month period.
23     (2) (1) Whenever any person has attained the age of 17 or
24 whenever all juvenile court proceedings relating to that person
25 have been terminated, whichever is later, the person may
26 petition the court to expunge law enforcement records relating

 

 

09600SB1030ham001 - 27 - LRB096 07100 RLC 26258 a

1 to incidents occurring before his or her 17th birthday or his
2 or her juvenile court records, or both, but only in the
3 following circumstances:
4         (a) the minor was arrested and no petition for
5     delinquency was filed with the clerk of the circuit court
6     and the minor does not meet the requirements for automatic
7     expungement under paragraph (1) of Section 5-915; or
8         (b) the minor was charged with an offense and was found
9     not delinquent of that offense; or
10         (c) the minor was placed under supervision pursuant to
11     Section 5-615, and the order of supervision has since been
12     successfully terminated; or
13         (d) the minor was adjudicated for an offense which
14     would be a Class B misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a
15     petty or business offense if committed by an adult.
16     (2.5) (2) Any person may petition the court to expunge all
17 law enforcement records relating to any incidents occurring
18 before his or her 17th birthday which did not result in
19 proceedings in criminal court and all juvenile court records
20 with respect to any adjudications except those based upon first
21 degree murder and sex offenses which would be felonies if
22 committed by an adult, if the person for whom expungement is
23 sought has had no convictions for any crime since his or her
24 17th birthday and:
25         (a) has attained the age of 21 years; or
26         (b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court

 

 

09600SB1030ham001 - 28 - LRB096 07100 RLC 26258 a

1     proceedings relating to him or her have been terminated or
2     his or her commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice
3     pursuant to this Act has been terminated;
4 whichever is later of (a) or (b).
5     (2.6) (2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for
6 delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court as
7 provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) (1) at the time the
8 minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if
9 applicable, or other designated person from the arresting
10 agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or
11 the minor's parents or guardians that if the State's Attorney
12 does not file a petition for delinquency, the minor has a right
13 to petition to have his or her law enforcement arrest record
14 expunged when the minor attains the age of 17 or when all
15 juvenile court proceedings relating to that minor have been
16 terminated and that unless a petition to expunge is filed or
17 the minor's law enforcement records are automatically expunged
18 pursuant to subsection (1), the minor shall have a law
19 enforcement an arrest record. The youth officer, if applicable,
20 or other designated person from the arresting agency and shall
21 provide the minor and the minor's parents or guardians with an
22 expungement information packet, including a petition to
23 expunge juvenile records obtained from the clerk of the circuit
24 court.
25     (2.7) (2.6) If a minor is charged with an offense and is
26 found not delinquent of that offense; or if a minor is placed

 

 

09600SB1030ham001 - 29 - LRB096 07100 RLC 26258 a

1 under supervision under Section 5-615, and the order of
2 supervision is successfully terminated; or if a minor is
3 adjudicated for an offense that would be a Class B misdemeanor,
4 a Class C misdemeanor, or a business or petty offense if
5 committed by an adult; or if a minor has incidents occurring
6 before his or her 17th birthday that have not resulted in
7 proceedings in criminal court, or resulted in proceedings in
8 juvenile court, and the adjudications were not based upon first
9 degree murder or sex offenses that would be felonies if
10 committed by an adult; then at the time of sentencing or
11 dismissal of the case, the judge shall inform the delinquent
12 minor of his or her right to petition for expungement as
13 provided by law, and the clerk of the circuit court shall
14 provide an expungement information packet to the delinquent
15 minor, written in plain language, including a petition for
16 expungement, a sample of a completed petition, expungement
17 instructions that shall include information informing the
18 minor that (i) once the case is expunged, it shall be treated
19 as if it never occurred, (ii) he or she may apply to have
20 petition fees waived, (iii) once he or she obtains an
21 expungement, he or she may not be required to disclose that he
22 or she had a juvenile record, and (iv) he or she may file the
23 petition on his or her own or with the assistance of an
24 attorney. The failure of the judge to inform the delinquent
25 minor of his or her right to petition for expungement as
26 provided by law does not create a substantive right, nor is

 

 

09600SB1030ham001 - 30 - LRB096 07100 RLC 26258 a

1 that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an adjudication of

8 birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her
9 guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of
10 subsection (2) (1); and when the minor attains the age of 21
11 based on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or
12 his or her guardian in cases under subsection (2.5) (2).
13     (2.9) (2.8) The petition for expungement for subsection (2)

1 arresting authority, the clerk of the circuit court and the
2 Department of State Police. The person whose records are to be
3 expunged shall petition the court using the appropriate form
4 containing his or her current address and shall promptly notify
5 the clerk of the circuit court of any change of address. Notice
6 of the petition shall be served upon the State's Attorney or
7 prosecutor charged with the duty of prosecuting the offense,
8 the Department of State Police, and the arresting agency or
9 agencies by the clerk of the circuit court. If an objection is
10 filed within 45 days of the notice of the petition, the clerk
11 of the circuit court shall set a date for hearing after the 45
12 day objection period. At the hearing the court shall hear
13 evidence on whether the expungement should or should not be
14 granted. Unless the State's Attorney or prosecutor, the
15 Department of State Police, or an arresting agency objects to
16 the expungement within 45 days of the notice, the court may
17 enter an order granting expungement. The person whose records
18 are to be expunged shall pay the clerk of the circuit court a
19 fee equivalent to the cost associated with expungement of
20 records by the clerk and the Department of State Police. The
21 clerk shall forward a certified copy of the order to the
22 Department of State Police, the appropriate portion of the fee
23 to the Department of State Police for processing, and deliver a
24 certified copy of the order to the arresting agency.

10 may be obtained only under the provisions of Sections 5-901,
11 5-905 and 5-915.
12     (6) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit
13 the maintenance of information relating to an offense after
14 records or files concerning the offense have been expunged if
15 the information is kept in a manner that does not enable
16 identification of the offender. This information may only be
17 used for statistical and bona fide research purposes.
18     (7)(a) The State Appellate Defender shall establish,

20 expungement program to provide information and assistance to

13 shall advertise the toll-free telephone number statewide. The
14 State Appellate Defender shall develop an expungement
15 information packet that may be sent to eligible persons seeking
16 expungement of their juvenile records, which may include, but
17 is not limited to, a pre-printed expungement petition with
18 instructions on how to complete the petition and a pamphlet
19 containing information that would assist individuals through
20 the juvenile expungement process.
21     (d) The State Appellate Defender shall compile a statewide
22 list of volunteer attorneys willing to assist eligible
23 individuals through the juvenile expungement process.
24     (e) This Section shall be implemented from funds

2 implementation of this Section.
3     (8)(a) Except with respect to law enforcement agencies, the

5 prosecutors, an expunged juvenile record may not be considered
6 by any private or public entity in employment matters,
7 certification, licensing, revocation of certification or
8 licensure, or registration. Applications for employment must
9 contain specific language that states that the applicant is not
10 obligated to disclose expunged juvenile records of conviction
11 or arrest. Employers may not ask if an applicant has had a
12 juvenile record expunged. Effective January 1, 2005, the
13 Department of Labor shall develop a link on the Department's
14 website to inform employers that employers may not ask if an
15 applicant had a juvenile record expunged and that application
16 for employment must contain specific language that states that
17 the applicant is not obligated to disclose expunged juvenile
18 records of arrest or conviction.
19     (b) A person whose juvenile records have been expunged is
20 not entitled to remission of any fines, costs, or other money
21 paid as a consequence of expungement. This amendatory Act of
22 the 93rd General Assembly does not affect the right of the
23 victim of a crime to prosecute or defend a civil action for
24 damages.
