8     transfer a case for prosecution in the criminal court
9     determines that there is probable cause to believe that the

17     prosecution under the criminal laws of Illinois unless the
18     judge makes a finding based on clear and convincing
19     evidence that the minor would be amenable to the care,
20     treatment, and training programs available through the
21     facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of
22     the following:
23             (i) the age of the minor;
24             (ii) the history of the minor, including:
25                 (A) any previous delinquent or criminal
26             history of the minor,

 

 

SB2513 - 6 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

2             the minor, and
3                 (C) any mental health, physical or educational
4             history of the minor or combination of these
5             factors;
6             (iii) the circumstances of the offense, including:
7                 (A) the seriousness of the offense,
8                 (B) whether the minor is charged through

11             committed in an aggressive and premeditated
12             manner,
13                 (D) whether there is evidence the offense
14             caused serious bodily harm,

16             possessed a deadly weapon;
17             (iv) the advantages of treatment within the
18         juvenile justice system including whether there are
19         facilities or programs, or both, particularly
20         available in the juvenile system;
21             (v) whether the security of the public requires
22         sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
23         Corrections:
24                 (A) the minor's history of services, including
25             the minor's willingness to participate
26             meaningfully in available services;

 

 

SB2513 - 7 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

1                 (B) whether there is a reasonable likelihood
2             that the minor can be rehabilitated before the
3             expiration of the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
4                 (C) the adequacy of the punishment or
5             services.
6         In considering these factors, the court shall give
7     greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense
8     and the minor's prior record of delinquency than to the
9     other factors listed in this subsection.
10     For purposes of clauses (2)(a)(vi) and (vii):
11     "School" means a public or private elementary or secondary
12 school, community college, college, or university.
13     "School related activity" means any sporting, social,
14 academic, or other activity for which students' attendance or
15 participation is sponsored, organized, or funded in whole or in
16 part by a school or school district.
17     (3) Discretionary transfer.
18         (a) If a petition alleges commission by a minor 13
19     years of age or over of an act that constitutes a crime
20     under the laws of this State and, on motion of the State's
21     Attorney to permit prosecution of the minor under the
22     criminal laws, a Juvenile Judge assigned by the Chief Judge
23     of the Circuit to hear and determine those motions, after
24     hearing but before commencement of the trial, finds that
25     there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in
26     the motion are true and that it is not in the best

 

 

SB2513 - 8 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

6     consider among other matters:
7             (i) the age of the minor;
8             (ii) the history of the minor, including:
9                 (A) any previous delinquent or criminal
10             history of the minor,

12             the minor, and
13                 (C) any mental health, physical, or
14             educational history of the minor or combination of
15             these factors;
16             (iii) the circumstances of the offense, including:

SB2513 - 9 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

1             (iv) the advantages of treatment within the
2         juvenile justice system including whether there are
3         facilities or programs, or both, particularly
4         available in the juvenile system;
5             (v) whether the security of the public requires
6         sentencing under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
7         Corrections:
8                 (A) the minor's history of services, including
9             the minor's willingness to participate
10             meaningfully in available services;
11                 (B) whether there is a reasonable likelihood

13             expiration of the juvenile court's jurisdiction;
14                 (C) the adequacy of the punishment or
15             services.
16         In considering these factors, the court shall give
17     greater weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense
18     and the minor's prior record of delinquency than to the
19     other factors listed in this subsection.
20     (4) The rules of evidence for this hearing shall be the
21 same as under Section 5-705 of this Act. A minor must be
22 represented in court by counsel before the hearing may be

10     (705 ILCS 405/5-915)
11     Sec. 5-915. Expungement of juvenile law enforcement and
12 court records.
13     (0.05) For purposes of this Section and Section 5-622:
14         "Expunge" means to physically destroy the records and
15     to obliterate the minor's name from any official index or
16     public record, or both. Nothing in this Act shall require
17     the physical destruction of the internal office records,
18     files, or databases maintained by a State's Attorney's
19     Office or other prosecutor.
20         "Law enforcement record" includes but is not limited to
21     records of arrest, station adjustments, fingerprints,
22     probation adjustments, the issuance of a notice to appear,
23     or any other records maintained by a law enforcement agency
24     relating to a minor suspected of committing an offense.
25     (1) Whenever any person has attained the age of 17 or

 

 

SB2513 - 11 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

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

 

 

SB2513 - 12 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

1         (b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court
2     proceedings relating to him or her have been terminated or
3     his or her commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice
4     pursuant to this Act has been terminated;
5 whichever is later of (a) or (b). Nothing in this Section 5-915
6 precludes a minor from obtaining expungement under Section
7 5-622.
8     (2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for
9 delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court as
10 provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) at the time the
11 minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if
12 applicable, or other designated person from the arresting
13 agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or
14 the minor's parents or guardians that if the State's Attorney
15 does not file a petition for delinquency, the minor has a right
16 to petition to have his or her arrest record expunged when the
17 minor attains the age of 17 or when all juvenile court
18 proceedings relating to that minor have been terminated and
19 that unless a petition to expunge is filed, the minor shall
20 have an arrest record and shall provide the minor and the
21 minor's parents or guardians with an expungement information
22 packet, including a petition to expunge juvenile records
23 obtained from the clerk of the circuit court.
24     (2.6) If a minor is charged with an offense and is found
25 not delinquent of that offense; or if a minor is placed under
26 supervision under Section 5-615, and the order of supervision

 

 

SB2513 - 13 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

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

 

 

SB2513 - 14 - LRB096 16890 RLC 32202 b

1 appeal.
2     (2.7) For counties with a population over 3,000,000, the
3 clerk of the circuit court shall send a "Notification of a
4 Possible Right to Expungement" post card to the minor at the
5 address last received by the clerk of the circuit court on the
6 date that the minor attains the age of 17 based on the
7 birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her
8 guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of
9 subsection (1); and when the minor attains the age of 21 based
10 on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or
11 her guardian in cases under subsection (2).
12     (2.8) The petition for expungement for subsection (1) shall
13 be substantially in the following form:

8     (5) Records which have not been expunged are sealed, and
9 may be obtained only under the provisions of Sections 5-901,
10 5-905 and 5-915.
11     (6) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit
12 the maintenance of information relating to an offense after
13 records or files concerning the offense have been expunged if
14 the information is kept in a manner that does not enable
15 identification of the offender. This information may only be
16 used for statistical and bona fide research purposes.
17     (7)(a) The State Appellate Defender shall establish,
18 maintain, and carry out, by December 31, 2004, a juvenile
19 expungement program to provide information and assistance to
20 minors eligible to have their juvenile records expunged.
21     (b) The State Appellate Defender shall develop brochures,

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

6 certification, licensing, revocation of certification or
7 licensure, or registration. Applications for employment must
8 contain specific language that states that the applicant is not
9 obligated to disclose expunged juvenile records of conviction
10 or arrest. Employers may not ask if an applicant has had a
11 juvenile record expunged. Effective January 1, 2005, the
12 Department of Labor shall develop a link on the Department's

14 applicant had a juvenile record expunged and that application
15 for employment must contain specific language that states that
16 the applicant is not obligated to disclose expunged juvenile
17 records of arrest or conviction.
18     (b) A person whose juvenile records have been expunged is
19 not entitled to remission of any fines, costs, or other money
20 paid as a consequence of expungement. This amendatory Act of
21 the 93rd General Assembly does not affect the right of the

23 damages.
