09700SB2777sam001 LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 a
AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2777
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2777 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
changing Section 5-915 as follows:
(705 ILCS 405/5-915)
Sec. 5-915. Expungement of juvenile law enforcement and
court records.
(0.05) For purposes of this Section and Section 5-622:
"Expunge" means to physically destroy the records and
to obliterate the minor's name from any official index or
public record, or both. Nothing in this Act shall require
the physical destruction of the internal office records,
files, or databases maintained by a State's Attorney's
Office or other prosecutor.
"Law enforcement record" includes but is not limited to

09700SB2777sam001 - 2 - LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 a
records of arrest, station adjustments, fingerprints,
probation adjustments, the issuance of a notice to appear,
or any other records maintained by a law enforcement agency
relating to a minor suspected of committing an offense.
(0.06) Expungement proceedings shall be initiated by the
filing of a petition requesting an order of expungement, in
juvenile court. No filing fee shall be required.
(0.07) There shall be no waiting period to petition for the
expungement of law enforcement or juvenile court records
relating to incidents occurring before a person's 18th birthday
in the following circumstances:
(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.
The notice and objection provisions found in subsection (3)
shall apply to a petition filed under this subsection (0.07).
If an objection is filed, the court may hear evidence as to
whether or not expungement shall be granted.
No more than 3 offenses may be expunged under this
subsection (0.07).
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever
Whenever any person has attained the age of 18 17 or whenever
all juvenile court proceedings relating to that person have
been terminated, whichever is later, the person may petition

09700SB2777sam001 - 3 - LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 a
the court to expunge law enforcement records relating to
incidents occurring before his or her 18th 17th birthday or his
or her juvenile court records, or both, but only in the
following circumstances:
(a) the minor was arrested and no petition for
delinquency or criminal charge was filed with the clerk of
the circuit court; or
(b) the minor was charged with an offense in juvenile
court 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
(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 18th 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
18th 17th birthday and:
(a) has attained the age of 21 years; or
(b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court

09700SB2777sam001 - 4 - LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 a
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). Nothing in this Section 5-915
precludes a minor from obtaining expungement under Section
5-622.
(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 or criminal charge (i)
, the minor has a right under subsection (0.07) to petition at
any time to have his or her law enforcement arrest record
expunged, (ii) if the minor does not petition to have his or
her law enforcement record expunged under subsection (0.07),
the minor has a right, when the minor attains the age of 18 17
or when all juvenile court proceedings relating to that minor
have been terminated, to petition to have his or her record
expunged under subsection (1), and (iii) that unless a petition
to expunge is filed, the minor will shall have a law
enforcement an arrest record. The youth officer, if applicable,
or other designated person from the arresting agency and shall
provide the minor and the minor's parents or guardians with an

09700SB2777sam001 - 5 - LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 a
expungement information packet, written in plain language,
including a petition to expunge juvenile records obtained from
the clerk of the circuit court, a sample completed petition,
information about the adverse consequences of having a law
enforcement record, and expungement instructions. These
instructions shall include information informing the minor
that (i) the minor may file a petition on his or her own or with
the assistance of an attorney, (ii) once the arrest is expunged
under either subsection (0.07) or subsection (1), it shall be
treated as if it never occurred, and (iii) once the minor
obtains an expungement under either subsection (0.07) or
subsection (1), the minor shall not be required to disclose
that he or she had a law enforcement record.
(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
18th 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

09700SB2777sam001 - 6 - LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 a
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, information about the adverse consequences of having
a law enforcement and juvenile court record, and expungement
instructions. These instructions that shall include
information informing the minor that (i) the minor may file a
petition on his or her own or with the assistance of an
attorney, (ii) once the case is expunged, it shall be treated
as if it never occurred, and (iii) once the minor obtains an
expungement, the court shall provide a certified copy of the
expungement order, and the minor shall not be required to
disclose that he or she had a juvenile court or law enforcement
record (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

09700SB2777sam001 - 7 - LRB097 16187 RLC 68022 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 18 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 (0.07)
and (1) may include multiple offenses on the same petition and
