20    incurred by the circuit court clerk in performing the

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

6    filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
7    appealing the order.

9    Expunge Records. While a party is seeking relief from the
10    order granting the petition to expunge through a motion
11    filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
12    appealing the order, and unless a court has entered a stay
13    of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
14    petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records until
15    there is a final order on the motion for relief or, in the
16    case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's mandate.
17        (16) The changes to this subsection (d) made by Public
18    Act 98-163 apply to all petitions pending on August 5, 2013
19    (the effective date of Public Act 98-163) and to all orders
