Summary
Reinserts provisions of the bill with the following changes. Requires a petition for name change to include a statement if the petitioner is a juvenile with a current felony or misdemeanor adjudication or conviction that has not been sealed or expunged, and for which a pardon has not been granted a pending charge on a felony or misdemeanor, or has an arrest for which a charge has not been filed. Provides that adults with sealed juvenile convictions or adjudications are not required to disclose the sealed convictions or adjudications on the name change petition, and such convictions and adjudications may not be considered in the proceedings. Restores current law that allows the State's Attorney to request the court order a petitioner to update the petitioner's criminal history with the Illinois State Police in certain circumstances. Requires that notice of the petition must be served on the State's Attorney if the petitioner is a juvenile with a current felony or misdemeanor conviction or adjudication that has not been sealed or expunged, and for which a pardon has not been granted, pending charge on a felony or misdemeanor offense, or has an arrest for which a charge has not been filed. Provides that notice of a name change does not have to be given to the Illinois State Police and State's Attorney for an adult with a sealed, expunged, or pardoned juvenile conviction or adjudication. Provides that the State's Attorney may file an objection if the petitioner has a pending case for a Class 2 felony or greater offense. Makes other changes.
