(C) "Conviction" means a judgment of conviction or
sentence entered upon a plea of guilty or upon a
verdict or finding of guilty of an offense, rendered
by a legally constituted jury or by a court of
competent jurisdiction authorized to try the case
without a jury. An order of supervision successfully
completed by the petitioner is not a conviction. An
order of qualified probation (as defined in subsection
(a)(1)(J)) successfully completed by the petitioner is
not a conviction. An order of supervision or an order
of qualified probation that is terminated
unsatisfactorily is a conviction, unless the
unsatisfactory termination is reversed, vacated, or
modified and the judgment of conviction, if any, is
reversed or vacated.

be considered a criminal offense.
(E) "Expunge" means to physically destroy the
records or return them to the petitioner and to
obliterate the petitioner's name from any official

charges, or both, ordered expunged shall be impounded
as required by subsections (d)(9)(A)(ii) and
(d)(9)(B)(ii).
(F) As used in this Section, "last sentence" means
the sentence, order of supervision, or order of
qualified probation (as defined by subsection

subsection (a)(1)(D)) that terminates last in time in
any jurisdiction, regardless of whether the petitioner
has included the criminal offense for which the
sentence or order of supervision or qualified
probation was imposed in his or her petition. If
multiple sentences, orders of supervision, or orders
of qualified probation terminate on the same day and

SB1948 - 4 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
are last in time, they shall be collectively
considered the "last sentence" regardless of whether

business offense, or Class C misdemeanor under the
Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a
municipal or local ordinance.
(G-5) "Minor Cannabis Offense" means a violation
of Section 4 or 5 of the Cannabis Control Act
concerning not more than 30 grams of any substance
containing cannabis, provided the violation did not

crime as defined in subsection (c) of Section 3 of the
Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act.

those provisions existed before their deletion by
Public Act 89-313), Section 10-102 of the Illinois
Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependency Act, Section
40-10 of the Substance Use Disorder Act, or Section 10
of the Steroid Control Act. For the purpose of this
Section, "successful completion" of an order of
qualified probation under Section 10-102 of the
Illinois Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependency Act and
Section 40-10 of the Substance Use Disorder Act means
that the probation was terminated satisfactorily and
the judgment of conviction was vacated.

official index required to be kept by the circuit
court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts

the sentence, unless otherwise specified in this

outstanding financial legal obligation.
(2) Minor Traffic Offenses. Orders of supervision or
convictions for minor traffic offenses shall not affect a
petitioner's eligibility to expunge or seal records
pursuant to this Section.
(2.5) Commencing 180 days after July 29, 2016 (the
effective date of Public Act 99-697), the law enforcement

of local government effecting the arrest.
(5) Objections.
(A) Any party entitled to notice of the petition
may file an objection to the petition. All objections
shall be in writing, shall be filed with the circuit
court clerk, and shall state with specificity the
basis of the objection. Whenever a person who has been
convicted of an offense is granted a pardon by the
Governor which specifically authorizes expungement, an
objection to the petition may not be filed.
(B) Objections to a petition to expunge or seal
must be filed within 60 days of the date of service of
the petition.
(6) Entry of order.
(A) The Chief Judge of the circuit wherein the
charge was brought, any judge of that circuit

SB1948 - 23 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
designated by the Chief Judge, or in counties of less
than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the presiding trial judge
at the petitioner's trial, if any, shall rule on the
petition to expunge or seal as set forth in this
subsection (d)(6).
(B) Unless the State's Attorney or prosecutor, the

to expunge or seal within 60 days from the date of
service of the petition, the court shall enter an
order granting or denying the petition.
(C) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the court shall not deny a petition for sealing under
this Section because the petitioner has not satisfied
an outstanding legal financial obligation established,
imposed, or originated by a court, law enforcement
agency, or a municipal, State, county, or other unit
of local government, including, but not limited to,
any cost, assessment, fine, or fee. An outstanding
legal financial obligation does not include any court
ordered restitution to a victim under Section 5-5-6 of
the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
restitution has been converted to a civil judgment.
Nothing in this subparagraph (C) waives, rescinds, or
abrogates a legal financial obligation or otherwise
eliminates or affects the right of the holder of any

SB1948 - 24 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
financial obligation to pursue collection under
applicable federal, State, or local law.
(D) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the court shall not deny a petition to expunge or seal
under this Section because the petitioner has
submitted a drug test taken within 30 days before the
filing of the petition to expunge or seal that
indicates a positive test for the presence of cannabis
within the petitioner's body. In this subparagraph
(D), "cannabis" has the meaning ascribed to it in
Section 3 of the Cannabis Control Act.
(7) Hearings. If an objection is filed, the court
shall set a date for a hearing and notify the petitioner
and all parties entitled to notice of the petition of the
hearing date at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Prior
to the hearing, the State's Attorney shall consult with
the Illinois State Police as to the appropriateness of the
relief sought in the petition to expunge or seal. At the
hearing, the court shall hear evidence on whether the
petition should or should not be granted, and shall grant
or deny the petition to expunge or seal the records based
on the evidence presented at the hearing. The court may
consider the following:
(A) the strength of the evidence supporting the
defendant's conviction;
(B) the reasons for retention of the conviction

SB1948 - 25 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
records by the State;
(C) the petitioner's age, criminal record history,
and employment history;
(D) the period of time between the petitioner's
arrest on the charge resulting in the conviction and
the filing of the petition under this Section; and
(E) the specific adverse consequences the
petitioner may be subject to if the petition is
denied.
(8) Service of order. After entering an order to
expunge or seal records, the court must provide copies of
the order to the Illinois State Police, in a form and
manner prescribed by the Illinois State Police, to the
petitioner, to the State's Attorney or prosecutor charged
with the duty of prosecuting the offense, to the arresting

(D) The Illinois State Police shall send written

SB1948 - 30 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
notice to the petitioner of its compliance with each
order to expunge or seal records within 60 days of the
date of service of that order or, if a motion to
vacate, modify, or reconsider is filed, within 60 days
of service of the order resolving the motion, if that
order requires the Illinois State Police to expunge or
seal records. In the event of an appeal from the
circuit court order, the Illinois State Police shall
send written notice to the petitioner of its
compliance with an Appellate Court or Supreme Court
judgment to expunge or seal records within 60 days of
the issuance of the court's mandate. The notice is not
required while any motion to vacate, modify, or
reconsider, or any appeal or petition for
discretionary appellate review, is pending.
(E) Upon motion, the court may order that a sealed
judgment or other court record necessary to
demonstrate the amount of any legal financial
obligation due and owing be made available for the
limited purpose of collecting any legal financial
obligations owed by the petitioner that were
established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
proceeding for which those records have been sealed.
The records made available under this subparagraph (E)
shall not be entered into the official index required
to be kept by the circuit court clerk under Section 16

SB1948 - 31 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
of the Clerks of Courts Act and shall be immediately
re-impounded upon the collection of the outstanding
financial obligations.
(F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section, a circuit court clerk may access a sealed
record for the limited purpose of collecting payment
for any legal financial obligations that were
established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
proceedings for which those records have been sealed.
(10) Fees. The Illinois State Police may charge the
petitioner a fee equivalent to the cost of processing any
order to expunge or seal records. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Clerks of Courts Act to the contrary, the
circuit court clerk may charge a fee equivalent to the
cost associated with the sealing or expungement of records
by the circuit court clerk. From the total filing fee
collected for the petition to seal or expunge, the circuit
court clerk shall deposit $10 into the Circuit Court Clerk
Operation and Administrative Fund, to be used to offset
the costs incurred by the circuit court clerk in
performing the additional duties required to serve the
petition to seal or expunge on all parties. The circuit
court clerk shall collect and remit the Illinois State
Police portion of the fee to the State Treasurer and it
shall be deposited in the State Police Services Fund. If
the record brought under an expungement petition was

SB1948 - 32 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
previously sealed under this Section, the fee for the
expungement petition for that same record shall be waived.

service of the order on the petitioner and all parties
entitled to notice of the petition.

Section 2-1203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the
petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a
motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting
or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after
service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or
reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section
2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon filing of a
motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the
motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties
entitled to notice of the petition.
(13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
under the expungement or sealing provisions of this
Section shall not be considered void because it fails to
comply with the provisions of this Section or because of
any error asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or
reconsider. The circuit court retains jurisdiction to
determine whether the order is voidable and to vacate,

SB1948 - 33 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
modify, or reconsider its terms based on a motion filed
under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d).
(14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal
Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order
granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to
notice of the petition must fully comply with the terms of
the order within 60 days of service of the order even if a
party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
appealing the order.
(15) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to
Expunge Records. While a party is seeking relief from the
order granting the petition to expunge through a motion
filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
appealing the order, and unless a court has entered a stay
of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records
until there is a final order on the motion for relief or,
in the case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's
mandate.
(16) The changes to this subsection (d) made by Public
Act 98-163 apply to all petitions pending on August 5,
2013 (the effective date of Public Act 98-163) and to all
orders ruling on a petition to expunge or seal on or after
August 5, 2013 (the effective date of Public Act 98-163).
(e) Whenever a person who has been convicted of an offense

SB1948 - 34 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b

the circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of
Courts Act in connection with the arrest and conviction for

Illinois State Police may be disseminated by the Illinois
State Police only to the arresting authority, the State's
Attorney, and the court upon a later arrest for the same or
similar offense or for the purpose of sentencing for any
subsequent felony. Upon conviction for any subsequent offense,
the Department of Corrections shall have access to all sealed

circuit court clerk and the Illinois State Police be sealed

to the Chief Judge of the circuit where the person had been
convicted, any judge of the circuit designated by the Chief

(b) Within 30 days of the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Department

from the Department, the prosecuting authority shall petition
the trial court that entered the judgment of conviction to
request resentencing in accordance with the statutory penalty

Section 25. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
adding Section 5-6-3.7 as follows:

conserve valuable resources, and reduce recidivism by
establishing a Misdemeanor Diversion Program.
(b) In this Section:
(1) "Appropriate and accessible" means an organization
providing services that are likely to be needed by a
participant in the Program, and whose location and hours
of service make transportation to and from reasonable for
the participant.
(2) "Human services organization" means any

SB1948 - 91 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
organization equipped to provide screening services
described in paragraph (2) of subsection (e) or authorized
by the State to perform behavioral health treatment or
substance use intervention and treatment or other social
services, including, but not limited to, homeless
services, education, and job training and placement.
(3) "Violent offense" means any offense in which
bodily harm was inflicted or in which force was used
against any person or threatened against any person, any
offense involving sexual conduct, sexual penetration, or
sexual exploitation, any offense of domestic violence,
domestic battery, violation of an order of protection,
stalking, or hate crime.
(c) Any circuit court or the State's Attorney of any
county may establish a Misdemeanor Diversion Program in
accordance with this Section.
(d) Whenever any person who does not have a felony case
pending is arrested for and charged with a misdemeanor offense
that is not a violent offense and does not involve the
possession of a firearm or dangerous weapon, the court, with
the consent of the defendant, may suspend the proceedings
prior to the entry of a finding of guilt or plea of guilty to
ascertain the defendant's eligibility to participate in and
complete the Misdemeanor Diversion Program. If the Program was
established by the State's Attorney, then except as otherwise
provided in this subsection (d), the defendant's eligibility

SB1948 - 92 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
to participate in the Program shall be within the discretion
of the State's Attorney.
(e) The State's Attorney shall be responsible for
identifying eligible defendants. Placement into the Program
shall include the following:
(1) At the defendant's initial court appearance
appearance or soon as the defendant's eligibility for the
Program may be ascertained, the State's Attorney shall
inform the defendant of the existence of the Program, the
need for a preliminary screen for behavioral health or
other social service needs, the requirements for
successful completion, the implications of non-compliance,
and that successful completion shall result in dismissal
of the charge and the defendant's eligibility to petition
for sealing or expungement of his or her record with no
waiting period.
(2) If the defendant agrees, the defendant shall be
immediately referred to a human services organization that
shall perform a brief screening to determine the presence
of any substance use, mental health, or other social
service needs experienced by the defendant.
(3) If the screen does not indicate the defendant's
need for services, the court shall continue the case for
further proceedings under the Code of Criminal Procedure
of 1963.
(4) If the screen indicates a need for services, the

SB1948 - 93 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
defendant shall be considered eligible for participation.
Participation is voluntary. To participate, the defendant
shall sign a written agreement with the court that he or
she understands and agrees to the conditions of
participation, as set forth in subsection (f) of this
Section.
(5) Upon acceptance of the agreement by the court, the
human services organization responsible for the screening
shall refer the defendant to an appropriate and accessible
human services organization responsible for conducting a
comprehensive assessment and developing a service plan, as
described in subsection (f) of this Section.
(6) At such time as it is known, the human services
organization responsible for the screening shall report to
the court that the individual has successfully or
unsuccessfully completed the conditions of participation.
(f) The defendant shall agree to submit to a more
comprehensive assessment of behavioral health and other social
service needs conducted by the human services organization to
which the defendant is referred. As a result of this
assessment, the organization shall prepare recommendations for
treatment and other social services which would likely benefit
the defendant, which the human services organization shall
present to and discuss with the defendant who may agree to
pursue treatment voluntarily. Adherence to the service plan
recommendations may not be a condition of participation.

SB1948 - 94 - LRB103 28299 RLC 54678 b
Completion of all of the conditions of participation shall
occur no more than 90 days from the date of admission into the
Program.
(g) Under no circumstances shall the human services
organization performing either the brief screening, referral,
and reporting under subsection (e) or the assessment and
service recommendations under subsection (f) be required to
perform those services in the absence of reimbursement for
those services. The human services organization may already
have an existing mechanism for reimbursement, or a new
mechanism may be created by way of agreement with the court,
the State's Attorney, or the jurisdiction in which the
Misdemeanor Diversion Program was developed specifically for
the purposes of the Program.
(h) If all conditions of participation have been met, the
defendant shall be deemed to have successfully completed the
Program and the court shall dismiss the proceedings against
the defendant. Discharge and dismissal shall not be considered
a conviction for purposes of disqualification or disability
imposed by law upon conviction of a crime.
(i) Non-compliance with the conditions of participation,
or failure to complete the conditions of participation within
90 days, shall be considered a violation and the court shall
continue the case for further proceedings under the Code of
Criminal Procedure of 1963, as if the defendant had not
participated in the Program.
