8        obligations owed by the petitioner that were
9        established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
10        proceeding for which those records have been sealed.
11        The records made available under this subparagraph (E)
12        shall not be entered into the official index required
13        to be kept by the circuit court clerk under Section 16
14        of the Clerks of Courts Act and shall be immediately
15        re-impounded upon the collection of the outstanding
16        financial obligations.
17            (F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
18        Section, a circuit court clerk may access a sealed
19        record for the limited purpose of collecting payment
20        for any legal financial obligations that were
21        established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
22        proceedings for which those records have been sealed.
23        (10) Fees. The Department may charge the petitioner a
24    fee equivalent to the cost of processing any order to

26    the Clerks of Courts Act to the contrary, the circuit

 

 

HB3447- 31 -LRB102 13836 RLC 19187 b

4    collected for the petition to seal or expunge, the circuit
5    court clerk shall deposit $10 into the Circuit Court Clerk
6    Operation and Administrative Fund, to be used to offset
7    the costs incurred by the circuit court clerk in

9    petition to seal or expunge on all parties. The circuit
10    court clerk shall collect and forward the Department of
11    State Police portion of the fee to the Department and it
12    shall be deposited in the State Police Services Fund. If
13    the record brought under an expungement petition was
14    previously sealed under this Section, the fee for the
15    expungement petition for that same record shall be waived.
16        (11) Final Order. No court order issued under the
17    expungement or sealing provisions of this Section shall
18    become final for purposes of appeal until 30 days after
19    service of the order on the petitioner and all parties
20    entitled to notice of the petition.
21        (12) Motion to Vacate, Modify, or Reconsider. Under
22    Section 2-1203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the
23    petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a
24    motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting
25    or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
26    of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after

 

 

HB3447- 32 -LRB102 13836 RLC 19187 b

1    service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or
2    reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section
3    2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon filing of a
4    motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the
5    motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties
6    entitled to notice of the petition.
7        (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
8    under the expungement or sealing provisions of this
9    Section shall not be considered void because it fails to
10    comply with the provisions of this Section or because of
11    any error asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or
12    reconsider. The circuit court retains jurisdiction to
13    determine whether the order is voidable and to vacate,
14    modify, or reconsider its terms based on a motion filed
15    under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d).
16        (14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal
17    Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order
18    granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to
19    notice of the petition must fully comply with the terms of
20    the order within 60 days of service of the order even if a
21    party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
22    filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
23    appealing the order.
24        (15) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to
25    Expunge Records. While a party is seeking relief from the
26    order granting the petition to expunge through a motion
