Expungement of juvenile records
(Raoul, D-Chicago; Turner, D-Chicago) requires the Illinois State Police to automatically expunge a person’s law enforcement records for incidents occurring before the person’s 18th birthday for most offenses in which no petition for delinquency was filed, the person attained the age of 18 years during the last calendar year, and since the minor’s arrest at least six months have elapsed without an additional arrest, filing of a delinquency petition, or filing of charge that was not initiated by an arrest. Effective January 1, 2015.
