HOWARD-DAVIS,MONIQUE-SOTO-MURPHY, TURNER,ART, JONES,LOU, MORROW, YARBROUGH, DELGADO, YOUNGE, FLOWERS AND GILES. 20 ILCS 2630/5 from Ch. 38, par. 206-5 Amends the Criminal Identification Act. Provides for automatic expungement and sealing of certain arrest and conviction records without the filing of a petition to a court. Provides that the arrest, conviction, and court records of a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor are expunged and sealed after completion of his or her sentence, provided that the person has not been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor within the previous 2 years, excluding non-DUI traffic violations and any time served in jail by the person and included as a part of the original sentence. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts) HB301 would have limited fiscal impact on the judicial branch at the State level, but compliance with the provisions of HB301 would require additional resources for the Circuit Courts. JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts) It is not anticipated that the bill would increase the number of judges needed in the State. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Criminal Identification Act. Provides that for employment application purposes only, misdemeanor convictions are automatically expunged 12 months after completion of a sentence. Does not apply to DUI violations, sex offenses, weapons offenses, and crimes of violence. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Office of the Illinois Courts) House Bill 301, as amended, would have a significant fiscal impact on the circuit courts. The number of cases that would be affected by the bill would be in the hundreds of thousands annually on a statewide basis. The actural cost of compliance cannot be determined until procedures for implementing the new provisions in the bill are developed. JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Office of the Illinois Courts) House Bill 301, as amended, will increase judicial workloads. However, it is not possible to determine whether the bill would increase the number of judges needed in the State.
