AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 481
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 481, AS AMENDED,
by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the
following:
"Section 5. The Criminal Identification Act is amended by
changing Section 5.2 as follows:
(20 ILCS 2630/5.2)
Sec. 5.2. Expungement, sealing, and immediate sealing.
(a) General Provisions.
(1) Definitions. In this Act, words and phrases have
the meanings set forth in this subsection, except when a
particular context clearly requires a different meaning.
(A) The following terms shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Unified Code of Corrections,
730 ILCS 5/5-1-2 through 5/5-1-22:
(i) Business Offense (730 ILCS 5/5-1-2),

10200SB0481sam002 - 2 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
(ii) Charge (730 ILCS 5/5-1-3),
(iii) Court (730 ILCS 5/5-1-6),
(iv) Defendant (730 ILCS 5/5-1-7),
(v) Felony (730 ILCS 5/5-1-9),
(vi) Imprisonment (730 ILCS 5/5-1-10),
(vii) Judgment (730 ILCS 5/5-1-12),
(viii) Misdemeanor (730 ILCS 5/5-1-14),
(ix) Offense (730 ILCS 5/5-1-15),
(x) Parole (730 ILCS 5/5-1-16),
(xi) Petty Offense (730 ILCS 5/5-1-17),

(xiv) Supervision (730 ILCS 5/5-1-21), and
(xv) Victim (730 ILCS 5/5-1-22).
(B) As used in this Section, "charge not initiated
by arrest" means a charge (as defined by 730 ILCS
5/5-1-3) brought against a defendant where the
defendant is not arrested prior to or as a direct
result of the charge.
(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

10200SB0481sam002 - 3 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
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.
(D) "Criminal offense" means a petty offense,
business offense, misdemeanor, felony, or municipal
ordinance violation (as defined in subsection

(E) "Expunge" means to physically destroy the
records or return them to the petitioner and to
obliterate the petitioner's name from any official
index or public record, or both. Nothing in this Act
shall require the physical destruction of the circuit
court file, but such records relating to arrests or
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

10200SB0481sam002 - 4 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
(a)(1)(J)), for a criminal offense (as defined by
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
are last in time, they shall be collectively
considered the "last sentence" regardless of whether
they were ordered to run concurrently.
(G) "Minor traffic offense" means a petty offense,
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
include a penalty enhancement under Section 7 of the
Cannabis Control Act and is not associated with an
arrest, conviction or other disposition for a violent
crime as defined in subsection (c) of Section 3 of the
Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act.
(H) "Municipal ordinance violation" means an
offense defined by a municipal or local ordinance that

10200SB0481sam002 - 5 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
is criminal in nature and with which the petitioner
was charged or for which the petitioner was arrested
and released without charging.
(I) "Petitioner" means an adult or a minor
prosecuted as an adult who has applied for relief
under this Section.
(J) "Qualified probation" means an order of
probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control
Act, Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances
Act, Section 70 of the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act, Section 5-6-3.3 or 5-6-3.4
of the Unified Code of Corrections, Section
12-4.3(b)(1) and (2) of the Criminal Code of 1961 (as
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.
(K) "Seal" means to physically and electronically
maintain the records, unless the records would

10200SB0481sam002 - 6 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
otherwise be destroyed due to age, but to make the
records unavailable without a court order, subject to
the exceptions in Sections 12 and 13 of this Act. The
petitioner's name shall also be obliterated from the
official index required to be kept by the circuit
court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts
Act, but any index issued by the circuit court clerk
before the entry of the order to seal shall not be
affected.
(L) "Sexual offense committed against a minor"
includes, but is not limited to, the offenses of
indecent solicitation of a child or criminal sexual
abuse when the victim of such offense is under 18 years
of age.
(M) "Terminate" as it relates to a sentence or
order of supervision or qualified probation includes
either satisfactory or unsatisfactory termination of
the sentence, unless otherwise specified in this
Section. A sentence is terminated notwithstanding any
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

10200SB0481sam002 - 7 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
agency issuing the citation shall automatically expunge,
on or before January 1 and July 1 of each year, the law
enforcement records of a person found to have committed a

Act 99-697), the clerk of the circuit court shall expunge,
upon order of the court, or in the absence of a court order

connection with the arrest and conviction, if any, and by
inserting in the records the name of the offender, if
known or ascertainable, in lieu of the aggrieved's name.

10200SB0481sam002 - 13 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a

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.

10200SB0481sam002 - 31 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
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,
modify, or reconsider its terms based on a motion filed
under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d).

party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
appealing the order.

of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records

in the case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's
mandate.

person a uniform citation for an offense as defined in Section
5-16 or a similar provision of a local ordinance prior to
requesting that the person submit to the test or tests. The
issuance of the uniform citation shall not constitute an
arrest, but shall be for the purpose of notifying the person
that he or she is subject to the provisions of this Section and
of the officer's belief in the existence of probable cause to
arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall file
the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the county
where the offense was committed and shall seek the issuance of
an arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
1.2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Act
to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
probable cause to believe that a watercraft operated by or
under actual physical control of a person under the influence

10200SB0481sam002 - 66 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination of them has caused the death of
or personal injury to another, that person shall submit, upon
the request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or
tests of his or her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or
urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol content or
the presence of any other drug, intoxicating compound, or
combination of them. For the purposes of this Section, a
personal injury includes severe bleeding wounds, distorted
extremities, and injuries that require the injured party to be
carried from the scene for immediate professional attention in
either a doctor's office or a medical facility.
2. Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is otherwise
in a condition rendering such person incapable of refusal,
shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided
above, and the test may be administered.
3. A person requested to submit to a chemical test as
provided above shall be verbally advised by the law
enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to
submit to the test will result in suspension of such person's
privilege to operate a watercraft for a minimum of 2 years.
Following this warning, if a person under arrest refuses upon
the request of a law enforcement officer to submit to a test
designated by the officer, no test shall be given, but the law
enforcement officer shall file with the clerk of the circuit
court for the county in which the arrest was made, and with the

10200SB0481sam002 - 67 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
Department of Natural Resources, a sworn statement naming the
person refusing to take and complete the chemical test or
tests requested under the provisions of this Section. Such
sworn statement shall identify the arrested person, such
person's current residence address and shall specify that a
refusal by such person to take the chemical test or tests was
made. Such sworn statement shall include a statement that the
arresting officer had reasonable cause to believe the person
was operating or was in actual physical control of the
watercraft within this State while under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or combination thereof and that such chemical test
or tests were made as an incident to and following the lawful
arrest for an offense as defined in this Section or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, and that the person after
being arrested for an offense arising out of acts alleged to
have been committed while so operating a watercraft refused to
submit to and complete a chemical test or tests as requested by
the law enforcement officer.
3.1. The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
statement as provided in paragraph 3 of this subsection (B)
shall serve immediate written notice upon the person refusing
the chemical test or tests that the person's privilege to
operate a watercraft within this State will be suspended for a
period of 2 years unless, within 28 days from the date of the
notice, the person requests in writing a hearing on the

10200SB0481sam002 - 68 - LRB102 11459 LNS 24325 a
suspension.
If the person desires a hearing, such person shall file a
complaint in the circuit court for and in the county in which
such person was arrested for such hearing. Such hearing shall
proceed in the court in the same manner as other civil
proceedings, shall cover only the issues of whether the person
was placed under arrest for an offense as defined in this
Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance as
evidenced by the issuance of a uniform citation; whether the
arresting officer had reasonable grounds to believe that such
person was operating a watercraft while under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or combination thereof; and whether such person
refused to submit and complete the chemical test or tests upon
the request of the law enforcement officer. Whether the person
was informed that such person's privilege to operate a
watercraft would be suspended if such person refused to submit
to the chemical test or tests shall not be an issue.
If the person fails to request in writing a hearing within
28 days from the date of notice, or if a hearing is held and
the court finds against the person on the issues before the
court, the clerk shall immediately notify the Department of
Natural Resources, and the Department shall suspend the
watercraft operation privileges of the person for at least 2
years.
