863	863	8 shall pay the applicable fee, except no fee shall be
864	864	9 required if the petitioner has obtained a court order

871	871	16 petitioner if the records sought to be expunged or sealed
872	872	17 were arrests resulting in release without charging or
873	873	18 arrests or charges not initiated by arrest resulting in
874	874	19 acquittal, dismissal, or conviction when the conviction

896	896	5 the petitioner shall promptly notify the circuit court
897	897	6 clerk of any change of his or her address. If the
898	898	7 petitioner has received a certificate of eligibility for

935	935	8 (5) Objections.
936	936	9 (A) Any party entitled to notice of the petition
937	937	10 may file an objection to the petition. All objections
938	938	11 shall be in writing, shall be filed with the circuit
939	939	12 court clerk, and shall state with specificity the
940	940	13 basis of the objection. Whenever a person who has been
941	941	14 convicted of an offense is granted a pardon by the
942	942	15 Governor which specifically authorizes expungement, an
943	943	16 objection to the petition may not be filed.
944	944	17 (B) Objections to a petition to expunge or seal
945	945	18 must be filed within 60 days of the date of service of
946	946	19 the petition.
947	947	20 (6) Entry of order.
948	948	21 (A) The Chief Judge of the circuit wherein the
949	949	22 charge was brought, any judge of that circuit
950	950	23 designated by the Chief Judge, or in counties of less
951	951	24 than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the presiding trial judge
952	952	25 at the petitioner's trial, if any, shall rule on the

964	964	1 subsection (d)(6).
965	965	2 (B) Unless the State's Attorney or prosecutor, the
966	966	3 Illinois State Police, the arresting agency, or the
967	967	4 chief legal officer files an objection to the petition
968	968	5 to expunge or seal within 60 days from the date of
969	969	6 service of the petition, the court shall enter an
970	970	7 order granting or denying the petition.
971	971	8 (C) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
972	972	9 the court shall not deny a petition for sealing under
973	973	10 this Section because the petitioner has not satisfied
974	974	11 an outstanding legal financial obligation established,
975	975	12 imposed, or originated by a court, law enforcement
976	976	13 agency, or a municipal, State, county, or other unit
977	977	14 of local government, including, but not limited to,
978	978	15 any cost, assessment, fine, or fee. An outstanding
979	979	16 legal financial obligation does not include any court
980	980	17 ordered restitution to a victim under Section 5-5-6 of
981	981	18 the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
982	982	19 restitution has been converted to a civil judgment.
983	983	20 Nothing in this subparagraph (C) waives, rescinds, or
984	984	21 abrogates a legal financial obligation or otherwise
985	985	22 eliminates or affects the right of the holder of any
986	986	23 financial obligation to pursue collection under
987	987	24 applicable federal, State, or local law.
988	988	25 (D) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,

1000	1000	1 under this Section because the petitioner has
1001	1001	2 submitted a drug test taken within 30 days before the
1002	1002	3 filing of the petition to expunge or seal that
1003	1003	4 indicates a positive test for the presence of cannabis
1004	1004	5 within the petitioner's body. In this subparagraph
1005	1005	6 (D), "cannabis" has the meaning ascribed to it in
1006	1006	7 Section 3 of the Cannabis Control Act.
1007	1007	8 (7) Hearings. If an objection is filed, the court
1008	1008	9 shall set a date for a hearing and notify the petitioner
1009	1009	10 and all parties entitled to notice of the petition of the
1010	1010	11 hearing date at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Prior
1011	1011	12 to the hearing, the State's Attorney shall consult with
1012	1012	13 the Illinois State Police as to the appropriateness of the
1013	1013	14 relief sought in the petition to expunge or seal. At the
1014	1014	15 hearing, the court shall hear evidence on whether the
1015	1015	16 petition should or should not be granted, and shall grant
1016	1016	17 or deny the petition to expunge or seal the records based
1017	1017	18 on the evidence presented at the hearing. The court may
1018	1018	19 consider the following:
1019	1019	20 (A) the strength of the evidence supporting the
1020	1020	21 defendant's conviction;
1021	1021	22 (B) the reasons for retention of the conviction
1022	1022	23 records by the State;

1228	1228	13 judgment or other court record necessary to
1229	1229	14 demonstrate the amount of any legal financial

1232	1232	17 obligations owed by the petitioner that were
1233	1233	18 established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
1234	1234	19 proceeding for which those records have been sealed.
1235	1235	20 The records made available under this subparagraph (E)
1236	1236	21 shall not be entered into the official index required
1237	1237	22 to be kept by the circuit court clerk under Section 16

1254	1254	3 for any legal financial obligations that were
1255	1255	4 established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
1256	1256	5 proceedings for which those records have been sealed.
1257	1257	6 (10) Fees. The Illinois State Police may charge the
1258	1258	7 petitioner a fee equivalent to the cost of processing any
1259	1259	8 order to expunge or seal records. Notwithstanding any
1260	1260	9 provision of the Clerks of Courts Act to the contrary, the
1261	1261	10 circuit court clerk may charge a fee equivalent to the
1262	1262	11 cost associated with the sealing or expungement of records
1263	1263	12 by the circuit court clerk. From the total filing fee
1264	1264	13 collected for the petition to seal or expunge, the circuit
1265	1265	14 court clerk shall deposit $10 into the Circuit Court Clerk
1266	1266	15 Operation and Administrative Fund, to be used to offset
1267	1267	16 the costs incurred by the circuit court clerk in
1268	1268	17 performing the additional duties required to serve the
1269	1269	18 petition to seal or expunge on all parties. The circuit
1270	1270	19 court clerk shall collect and remit the Illinois State
1271	1271	20 Police portion of the fee to the State Treasurer and it
1272	1272	21 shall be deposited in the State Police Services Fund. If
1273	1273	22 the record brought under an expungement petition was
1274	1274	23 previously sealed under this Section, the fee for the
1275	1275	24 expungement petition for that same record shall be waived.

1291	1291	4 (12) Motion to Vacate, Modify, or Reconsider. Under
1292	1292	5 Section 2-1203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the
1293	1293	6 petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a
1294	1294	7 motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting
1295	1295	8 or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
1296	1296	9 of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after
1297	1297	10 service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or
1298	1298	11 reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section
1299	1299	12 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon filing of a
1300	1300	13 motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the
1301	1301	14 motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties
1302	1302	15 entitled to notice of the petition.
1303	1303	16 (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
1304	1304	17 under the expungement or sealing provisions of this
1305	1305	18 Section shall not be considered void because it fails to
1306	1306	19 comply with the provisions of this Section or because of
1307	1307	20 any error asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or
1308	1308	21 reconsider. The circuit court retains jurisdiction to
1309	1309	22 determine whether the order is voidable and to vacate,
1310	1310	23 modify, or reconsider its terms based on a motion filed
1311	1311	24 under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d).

1335	1335	12 of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
1336	1336	13 petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records
1337	1337	14 until there is a final order on the motion for relief or,
1338	1338	15 in the case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's
1339	1339	16 mandate.

2539	2539	1 to all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
2540	2540	2 department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
2541	2541	3 be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
2542	2542	4 years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
2543	2543	5 97-251).
2544	2544	6 Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
2545	2545	7 to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
2546	2546	8 department to which this Section applies shall be administered
2547	2547	9 in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
2548	2548	10 Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
2549	2549	11 adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to

2553	2553	15 and any other law, this Section shall control.
2554	2554	16 A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
2555	2555	17 administer its fire department process for original
2556	2556	18 appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this

2559	2559	21 concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
2560	2560	22 functions exercised by the State.
2561	2561	23 A municipality that is operating under a court order or

2576	2576	2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
2577	2577	3 (a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
2578	2578	4 than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
2579	2579	5 (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
2580	2580	6 to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
2581	2581	7 eligibles established in accordance with the processes
2582	2582	8 established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
2583	2583	9 the performance standards required by this Section shall be
2584	2584	10 placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
2585	2585	11 an affected fire department.
2586	2586	12 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
2587	2587	13 a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
2588	2588	14 firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new
2589	2589	15 position or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion,
2590	2590	16 death, the granting of a disability or retirement pension, or
2591	2591	17 any other cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to
2592	2592	18 that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
2593	2593	19 eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
2594	2594	20 conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
2595	2595	21 minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
2596	2596	22 authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
2597	2597	23 the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
2598	2598	24 the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
2599	2599	25 either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the

2614	2614	4 Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
2615	2615	5 losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
2616	2616	6 candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
2617	2617	7 by the appointing authority provided that such action shall
2618	2618	8 not prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in
2619	2619	9 future examinations, including an examination held during the

2756	2756	2 extended for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
2757	2757	3 employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
2758	2758	4 sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
2759	2759	5 hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
2760	2760	6 licensure.
2761	2761	7 In the event that any applicant who has been found

2767	2767	13 be made of that applicant's physical ability prior to his or
2768	2768	14 her appointment. If, after the second examination, the
2769	2769	15 physical ability of the applicant shall be found to be less
2770	2770	16 than the minimum standard fixed by the rules of the
2771	2771	17 commission, the applicant shall not be appointed. The

3446	3446	9 (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow
3447	3447	10 the provisions of Section 10-2.1-6.4, this Section shall apply
3448	3448	11 to all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
3449	3449	12 department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
3450	3450	13 be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
3451	3451	14 years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act

3477	3477	5 Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
3478	3478	6 concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
3479	3479	7 functions exercised by the State.
3480	3480	8 A municipality that is operating under a court order or

3482	3482	10 fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
3483	3483	11 Public Act 97-251) is exempt from the requirements of this

3485	3485	13 Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
3486	3486	14 (a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
3487	3487	15 than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
3488	3488	16 (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
3489	3489	17 to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
3490	3490	18 eligibles established in accordance with the processes
3491	3491	19 established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
3492	3492	20 the performance standards required by this Section shall be
3493	3493	21 placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
3494	3494	22 an affected fire department.

3511	3511	3 that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
3512	3512	4 eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
3513	3513	5 conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
3514	3514	6 minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
3515	3515	7 authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
3516	3516	8 the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
3517	3517	9 the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
3518	3518	10 either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the
3519	3519	11 register of eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5
3520	3520	12 highest ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number
3521	3521	13 of people who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
3522	3522	14 eligibles is less than 5 people.
3523	3523	15 Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
3524	3524	16 losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
3525	3525	17 candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
3526	3526	18 by the appointing authority provided that such action shall
3527	3527	19 not prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in

3531	3531	23 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
3532	3532	24 shall be vested in the board of fire and police commissioners.

3583	3583	3 The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
3584	3584	4 identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
3585	3585	5 aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required
3586	3586	6 of members of the fire department in order to provide the
3587	3587	7 highest quality of service to the public. To this end, all
3588	3588	8 applicants for original appointment to an affected fire
3589	3589	9 department shall be subject to examination and testing which
3590	3590	10 shall be public, competitive, and open to all applicants
3591	3591	11 unless the municipality shall by ordinance limit applicants to
3592	3592	12 residents of the municipality, county or counties in which the
3593	3593	13 municipality is located, State, or nation. Any examination and
3594	3594	14 testing procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this
3595	3595	15 Section shall be supported by appropriate validation evidence
3596	3596	16 and shall comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
3597	3597	17 Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
3598	3598	18 service licensure, and other prerequisites for participation
3599	3599	19 in an examination or for hire as a firefighter. Any

3663	3663	11 leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
3664	3664	12 days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
3665	3665	13 Section, the probationary employment period limitation may be
3666	3666	14 extended for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
3667	3667	15 employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
3668	3668	16 sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a

3982	3982	6 10-2.1-4 of this Division and the terms established by a
3983	3983	7 Joint Apprenticeship Committee included in a collective
3984	3984	8 bargaining agreement agreed between the employer and its
3985	3985	9 certified bargaining agent. An eligible applicant must
3986	3986	10 apply to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee for preference
3987	3987	11 points under this item. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee
3988	3988	12 shall evaluate the merit of the applicant's performance,
3989	3989	13 determine the preference points to be awarded, and certify
3990	3990	14 the amount of points awarded to the commissioners. The

4014	4014	2 of preference points for each category shall range from 0
4015	4015	3 to 5, except item (7.5). In determining the number of
4016	4016	4 preference points, the commission shall prescribe that if
4017	4017	5 a candidate earns the maximum number of preference points
4018	4018	6 in all categories except item (7.5), that number may not
4019	4019	7 be less than 10 nor more than 30. The commission shall give
4020	4020	8 preference for original appointment to persons designated
4021	4021	9 in items (2) through (7) by adding the requisite number of
4022	4022	10 points to the final grade for each recognized preference
4023	4023	11 achieved. The numerical result thus attained shall be
4024	4024	12 applied by the commission in determining the final
4025	4025	13 eligibility list and appointment from the eligibility
4026	4026	14 list. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
4027	4027	15 total number of preference points awarded under this
4028	4028	16 Section, but the total number of preference points, except
4029	4029	17 item (7.5), shall not be less than 10 points or more than
4030	4030	18 30 points. Apprentice preference points may be added in
4031	4031	19 addition to other preference points awarded by the

4267	4267	7 to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected

4301	4301	5 a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
4302	4302	6 firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new
4303	4303	7 position or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion,
4304	4304	8 death, the granting of a disability or retirement pension, or
4305	4305	9 any other cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to
4306	4306	10 that position the person with the highest ranking on the final
4307	4307	11 eligibility list. If the appointing authority has reason to
4308	4308	12 conclude that the highest ranked person fails to meet the
4309	4309	13 minimum standards for the position or if the appointing
4310	4310	14 authority believes an alternate candidate would better serve
4311	4311	15 the needs of the department, then the appointing authority has
4312	4312	16 the right to pass over the highest ranked person and appoint
4313	4313	17 either: (i) any person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the
4314	4314	18 register of eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5

4342	4342	10 upon appointment of such officer or member to the affected
4343	4343	11 department by action of the commission. After being selected
4344	4344	12 from the register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the
4345	4345	13 affected department, each appointee shall be presented with
4346	4346	14 his or her certificate of appointment on the day on which he or
4347	4347	15 she is sworn in as a classified member of the affected
4348	4348	16 department. Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of

4352	4352	20 of trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
4353	4353	21 commissioners. Each person who accepts a certificate of

4383	4383	15 of members of the fire department in order to provide the
4384	4384	16 highest quality of service to the public. To this end, all
4385	4385	17 applicants for original appointment to an affected fire
4386	4386	18 department shall be subject to examination and testing which

5346	5346	11 physician to present testimony concerning the mental or
5347	5347	12 physical examination of the licensee or applicant. No
5348	5348	13 information shall be excluded by reason of any common law or

8128	8128	9 interest of justice requires imposing a term of probation,
8129	8129	10 conditional discharge, or a lesser term of imprisonment. The
8130	8130	11 court must state on the record its reasons for imposing
8131	8131	12 probation, conditional discharge, or a lesser term of
8132	8132	13 imprisonment.
8133	8133	14 (c-2) If the defendant is sentenced to prison, other than
8134	8134	15 when a sentence of natural life imprisonment is imposed, at

8161	8161	6 as applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of

8165	8165	10 years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned

8167	8167	12 misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
8168	8168	13 regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
8169	8169	14 served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also
8170	8170	15 receive an additional one-half day sentence credit for each
