Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Eliminates the provision that the State's Attorney may object to a court order of continuance under supervision. Provides that at the successful completion of probation, a minor may move to vacate a finding of delinquency. Provides that unless good cause is shown, such motion to vacate must be filed within 30 days of the entry of the order terminating probation or discharging the minor. Establishes conditions and factors under which a court may vacate a finding of delinquency. Provides that once a motion to vacate a finding of delinquency has been granted, the case shall be treated as if it never occurred and, the person may not be required to disclose that he or she had a juvenile record. Provides that the amendatory Act shall govern all motions pending at the time of its effective date. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that a motion to vacate a finding of delinquency applies only to first time offenders. Provides that a motion to vacate a finding of delinquency does not apply to any homicide, use of a deadly weapon, or sex offenses which would be felonies if committed by an adult (rather than first degree murder and felony sex offenses). Provides that nothing prohibits the judge, State's Attorney, or minor from reviewing the juvenile record of the minor, including the proceedings that resulted in the vacation of the finding of delinquency.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that the court, after the successful completion of the minor's probation, may enter a judgment of dismissal.
