2paragraph (a) of subsection (0.1) of this Section, a juvenile
3law enforcement record created:
4        (1) prior to January 1, 2018, but on or after January
5    1, 2013 shall be automatically expunged prior to January

13restrict or modify an individual's right to have the person's
14juvenile law enforcement records expunged except as otherwise
15may be provided in this Act.
16    (0.2)(a) Upon dismissal of a petition alleging delinquency
17or upon a finding of not delinquent, the successful
18termination of an order of supervision, or the successful
19termination of an adjudication for an offense which would be a
20Class B misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a petty or
21business offense if committed by an adult, the court shall
22automatically order the expungement of the juvenile court
23records and juvenile law enforcement records. The clerk shall
24deliver a certified copy of the expungement order to the
25Illinois State Police and the arresting agency. Upon request,

21offense except a disqualified offense, the juvenile court
22shall automatically order the expungement of the juvenile

13retained in an intelligence file until the investigation is

15Retention of a portion of a juvenile's juvenile law
16enforcement record does not disqualify the remainder of a
17juvenile's record from immediate automatic expungement.
18    (0.4) Automatic expungement for the purposes of this
19Section shall not require law enforcement agencies to
20obliterate or otherwise destroy juvenile law enforcement
