The failure of the judge to | 15 | | inform the delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for | 16 | | expungement as provided by law does not create a substantive | 17 | | right, nor is that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an | 18 | | adjudication of delinquency, (ii) a new trial; or (iii) an | 19 | | appeal. | 20 | | (2.7) For counties with a population over 3,000,000, the | 21 | | clerk of the circuit court shall send a "Notification of a | 22 | | Possible Right to Expungement" post card to the minor at the | 23 | | address last received by the clerk of the circuit court on the | 24 | | date that the minor attains the age of 18 17 based on the | 25 | | birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her | 26 | | guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of |
