This bill died with 95th Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Amends the Circuit Courts Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning court rules.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to SB 997 focus on updating the rules regarding the expungement of juvenile law enforcement and court records. Notably, the bill now specifies that once a person turns 17 or after their juvenile court proceedings are fully resolved, they can petition to have their records expunged under certain conditions, such as if they were never charged or if they were found not delinquent. This change is significant because it can help young people clear their records, improving their chances for future opportunities in education and employment. By making it easier to expunge certain juvenile offenses, the law aims to support reintegration into society and reduce the long-term impacts of juvenile records.

Expungement of juvenile law enforcement and court records.
28.
(1) Whenever any person has attained the age of 17 or whenever all juvenile court proceedings relating to that person have been terminated, whichever is later, the person may petition the court to expunge law enforcement records relating to incidents occurring before his or her 17th birthday or his or her juvenile court records, or both, but only in the following circumstances:
The The said courts may, from time to time, make all such rules for the orderly disposition of business before them as may be deemed expedient, consistent with law.
(a) the minor was arrested and no petition for delinquency was filed with the clerk of the circuit court;
or (b) the minor was charged with an offense and was found not delinquent of that offense;
or (c) the minor was placed under supervision pursuant to Section 5-615, and the order of supervision has since been successfully terminated;
or SB0997 Engrossed - 2 - LRB095 05863 AJO 25954 b (d) the minor was adjudicated for an offense which would be a Class B misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a petty or business offense if committed by an adult.
(2) Any person may petition the court to expunge all law enforcement records relating to any incidents occurring before his or her 17th birthday which did not result in proceedings in criminal court and all juvenile court records with respect to any adjudications except those based upon first degree murder and sex offenses which would be felonies if committed by an adult, if the person for whom expungement is sought has had no convictions for any crime since his or her 17th birthday and:
(a) has attained the age of 21 years;
or (b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court proceedings relating to him or her have been terminated or his or her commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice pursuant to this Act has been terminated;
whichever is later of (a) or (b).
(2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court as provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) at the time the minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if applicable, or other designated person from the arresting agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or the minor’s parents or guardians that if the State’s Attorney does not file a petition for delinquency, the minor has a right to petition to have his or her arrest record expunged when the SB0997 Engrossed - 3 - LRB095 05863 AJO 25954 b minor attains the age of 17 or when all juvenile court proceedings relating to that minor have been terminated and that unless a petition to expunge is filed, the minor shall have an arrest record and shall provide the minor and the minor’s parents or guardians with an expungement information packet, including a petition to expunge juvenile records obtained from the clerk of the circuit court.
(2.6) If a minor is charged with an offense and is found not delinquent of that offense;
or if a minor is placed under supervision under Section 5-615, and the order of supervision is successfully terminated;
or if a minor is adjudicated for an offense that would be a Class B misdemeanor, a Class C misdemeanor, or a business or petty offense if committed by an adult;
or if a minor has incidents occurring before his or her 17th birthday that have not resulted in proceedings in criminal court, or resulted in proceedings in juvenile court, and the adjudications were not based upon first degree murder or sex offenses that would be felonies if committed by an adult;
then at the time of sentencing or dismissal of the case, the judge shall inform the delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for expungement as provided by law, and the clerk of the circuit court shall provide an expungement information packet to the delinquent minor, written in plain language, including a petition for expungement, a sample of a completed petition, expungement instructions that shall include information informing the minor that (i) once the case is SB0997 Engrossed - 4 - LRB095 05863 AJO 25954 b expunged, it shall be treated as if it never occurred, (ii) he or she may apply to have petition fees waived, (iii) once he or she obtains an expungement, he or she may not be required to disclose that he or she had a juvenile record, and (iv) he or she may file the petition on his or her own or with the assistance of an attorney.
The failure of the judge to inform the delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for expungement as provided by law does not create a substantive right, nor is that failure grounds for:
(i) a reversal of an adjudication of delinquency, (ii) a new trial;
or (iii) an appeal.
(2.7) For counties with a population over 3,000,000, the clerk of the circuit court shall send a "Notification of a Possible Right to Expungement" post card to the minor at the address last received by the clerk of the circuit court on the date that the minor attains the age of 17 based on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of subsection (1);
and when the minor attains the age of 21 based on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her guardian in cases under subsection (2).
(2.8) The petition for expungement for subsection (1) shall be substantially in the following form:
