753	753	2 (5) Objections.

756	756	5 shall be in writing, shall be filed with the circuit
757	757	6 court clerk, and shall state with specificity the

759	759	8 convicted of an offense is granted a pardon by the
760	760	9 Governor which specifically authorizes expungement, an
761	761	10 objection to the petition may not be filed.
762	762	11 (B) Objections to a petition to expunge or seal
763	763	12 must be filed within 60 days of the date of service of
764	764	13 the petition.
765	765	14 (6) Entry of order.
766	766	15 (A) The Chief Judge of the circuit wherein the
767	767	16 charge was brought, any judge of that circuit
768	768	17 designated by the Chief Judge, or in counties of less
769	769	18 than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the presiding trial judge
770	770	19 at the petitioner's trial, if any, shall rule on the

772	772	21 subsection (d)(6).
773	773	22 (B) Unless the State's Attorney or prosecutor, the
774	774	23 Illinois State Police, the arresting agency, or the
775	775	24 chief legal officer files an objection to the petition

789	789	2 (C) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
790	790	3 the court shall not deny a petition for sealing under
791	791	4 this Section because the petitioner has not satisfied
792	792	5 an outstanding legal financial obligation established,
793	793	6 imposed, or originated by a court, law enforcement
794	794	7 agency, or a municipal, State, county, or other unit
795	795	8 of local government, including, but not limited to,
796	796	9 any cost, assessment, fine, or fee. An outstanding
797	797	10 legal financial obligation does not include any court
798	798	11 ordered restitution to a victim under Section 5-5-6 of
799	799	12 the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
800	800	13 restitution has been converted to a civil judgment.
801	801	14 Nothing in this subparagraph (C) waives, rescinds, or
802	802	15 abrogates a legal financial obligation or otherwise
803	803	16 eliminates or affects the right of the holder of any
804	804	17 financial obligation to pursue collection under
805	805	18 applicable federal, State, or local law.
806	806	19 (D) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
807	807	20 the court shall not deny a petition to expunge or seal
808	808	21 under this Section because the petitioner has
809	809	22 submitted a drug test taken within 30 days before the
810	810	23 filing of the petition to expunge or seal that
811	811	24 indicates a positive test for the presence of cannabis
812	812	25 within the petitioner's body. In this subparagraph

826	826	3 shall set a date for a hearing and notify the petitioner
827	827	4 and all parties entitled to notice of the petition of the
828	828	5 hearing date at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Prior
829	829	6 to the hearing, the State's Attorney shall consult with
830	830	7 the Illinois State Police as to the appropriateness of the
831	831	8 relief sought in the petition to expunge or seal. At the
832	832	9 hearing, the court shall hear evidence on whether the
833	833	10 petition should or should not be granted, and shall grant
834	834	11 or deny the petition to expunge or seal the records based
835	835	12 on the evidence presented at the hearing. The court may
836	836	13 consider the following:
837	837	14 (A) the strength of the evidence supporting the
838	838	15 defendant's conviction;
839	839	16 (B) the reasons for retention of the conviction
840	840	17 records by the State;
841	841	18 (C) the petitioner's age, criminal record history,
842	842	19 and employment history;
843	843	20 (D) the period of time between the petitioner's
844	844	21 arrest on the charge resulting in the conviction and
845	845	22 the filing of the petition under this Section; and
846	846	23 (E) the specific adverse consequences the
847	847	24 petitioner may be subject to if the petition is
848	848	25 denied.
849	849	26 (8) Service of order. After entering an order to

1058	1058	19 financial obligations.
1059	1059	20 (F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
1060	1060	21 Section, a circuit court clerk may access a sealed
1061	1061	22 record for the limited purpose of collecting payment
1062	1062	23 for any legal financial obligations that were
1063	1063	24 established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
1064	1064	25 proceedings for which those records have been sealed.

1076	1076	1 petitioner a fee equivalent to the cost of processing any
1077	1077	2 order to expunge or seal records. Notwithstanding any
1078	1078	3 provision of the Clerks of Courts Act to the contrary, the
1079	1079	4 circuit court clerk may charge a fee equivalent to the
1080	1080	5 cost associated with the sealing or expungement of records
1081	1081	6 by the circuit court clerk. From the total filing fee
1082	1082	7 collected for the petition to seal or expunge, the circuit
1083	1083	8 court clerk shall deposit $10 into the Circuit Court Clerk
1084	1084	9 Operation and Administrative Fund, to be used to offset
1085	1085	10 the costs incurred by the circuit court clerk in
1086	1086	11 performing the additional duties required to serve the
1087	1087	12 petition to seal or expunge on all parties. The circuit
1088	1088	13 court clerk shall collect and remit the Illinois State
1089	1089	14 Police portion of the fee to the State Treasurer and it
1090	1090	15 shall be deposited in the State Police Services Fund. If
1091	1091	16 the record brought under an expungement petition was
1092	1092	17 previously sealed under this Section, the fee for the
1093	1093	18 expungement petition for that same record shall be waived.
1094	1094	19 (11) Final Order. No court order issued under the
1095	1095	20 expungement or sealing provisions of this Section shall
1096	1096	21 become final for purposes of appeal until 30 days after
1097	1097	22 service of the order on the petitioner and all parties
1098	1098	23 entitled to notice of the petition.

1113	1113	2 or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
1114	1114	3 of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after
1115	1115	4 service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or
1116	1116	5 reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section
1117	1117	6 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon filing of a
1118	1118	7 motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the

1120	1120	9 entitled to notice of the petition.
1121	1121	10 (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
1122	1122	11 under the expungement or sealing provisions of this
1123	1123	12 Section shall not be considered void because it fails to
1124	1124	13 comply with the provisions of this Section or because of
1125	1125	14 any error asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or
1126	1126	15 reconsider. The circuit court retains jurisdiction to
1127	1127	16 determine whether the order is voidable and to vacate,
1128	1128	17 modify, or reconsider its terms based on a motion filed
1129	1129	18 under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d).
1130	1130	19 (14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal
1131	1131	20 Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order
1132	1132	21 granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to
1133	1133	22 notice of the petition must fully comply with the terms of
1134	1134	23 the order within 60 days of service of the order even if a
1135	1135	24 party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
1136	1136	25 filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
1137	1137	26 appealing the order.

1151	1151	4 filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
1152	1152	5 appealing the order, and unless a court has entered a stay
1153	1153	6 of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
1154	1154	7 petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records
1155	1155	8 until there is a final order on the motion for relief or,
1156	1156	9 in the case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's
1157	1157	10 mandate.

1631	1631	16 include more than one individual. Whenever an
1632	1632	17 individual who has been convicted of an offense is
1633	1633	18 granted a pardon by the Governor that specifically
1634	1634	19 authorizes expungement, an objection to the petition
1635	1635	20 may not be filed. Petitions to expunge under this

1669	1669	18 (3) Any individual may file a motion to vacate and
