Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 25.02. Criminal records assessment hearing.

(a) An applicant has the right to an individualized criminal records assessment hearing if the applicant's application for federally assisted housing requires further review because of the applicant's or another household member's criminal history record. The individualized criminal records assessment hearing shall allow the applicant or other household member to:

(1) contest the accuracy of the criminal history

record;

(2) contest the relevance of the criminal history

record to the Authority's decision to deny the applicant's application for federally assisted housing; and

(3) provide mitigating evidence concerning the

applicant's or other household member's criminal conviction or evidence of rehabilitation.

(b) The Authority shall not rent or lease to any other person the available federally assisted housing unit that is the subject of the applicant's individualized criminal records assessment hearing until after the Authority has issued a final ruling.

(c) The Authority shall adopt rules for criminal records assessment hearings in accordance with Article 10 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
