15 (f) The Board or one who has allegedly violated the
16 conditions of his parole or mandatory supervised release may
17 require by subpoena the attendance and testimony of witnesses
18 and the production of documentary evidence relating to any
19 matter under investigation or hearing. The Chairman of the
20 Board may sign subpoenas which shall be served by any agent
21 or public official authorized by the Chairman of the Board,
22 or by any person lawfully authorized to serve a subpoena
23 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The attendance of

1 from further attendance.
2 In case of disobedience to a subpoena, the Board may
3 petition any circuit court of the State for an order
4 requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the
5 production of documentary evidence or both. A copy of such
6 petition shall be served by personal service or by registered
7 or certified mail upon the person who has failed to obey the

9 hearing upon the petition will be requested in a court room
10 to be designated in such notice before the judge hearing
11 motions or extraordinary remedies at a specified time, on a
12 specified date, not less than 10 nor more than 15 days after
13 the deposit of the copy of the written notice and petition in
14 the U.S. mails addressed to the person at his last known
15 address or after the personal service of the copy of the
16 notice and petition upon such person. The court upon the
17 filing of such a petition, may order the person refusing to
18 obey the subpoena to appear at an investigation or hearing,
19 or to there produce documentary evidence, if so ordered, or
20 to give evidence relative to the subject matter of that
21 investigation or hearing. Any failure to obey such order of
22 the circuit court may be punished by that court as a contempt
23 of court.
24 Each member of the Board and any hearing officer
25 designated by the Board shall have the power to administer
26 oaths and to take the testimony of persons under oath.
27 (g) Except under subsection (a) of this Section, a

16 (730 ILCS 5/5-5.5-10 new)
17 Sec. 5-5.5-10. Certificate of relief from disabilities.
18 (a) A certificate of relief from disabilities may be
19 granted as provided in this Article to relieve an eligible
20 offender of any forfeiture or disability or to remove any bar
21 to his or her employment automatically imposed by law by
22 reason of his or her conviction of the crime or of the
23 offense specified in the certificate. The certificate may be
24 limited to one or more enumerated forfeitures, disabilities,
25 or bars, or may relieve the eligible offender of all
26 forfeitures, disabilities, and bars. No certificate shall
27 apply, or be construed so as to apply, to the right of the
28 person to retain or to be eligible for public office.
29 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except as
30 otherwise provided in clauses (1) and (2) of this subsection
31 (b), a conviction of a crime or of an offense specified in a
32 certificate of relief from disabilities does not cause
33 automatic forfeiture of any license, permit, employment, or
-9- LRB093 10340 RLC 10594 b
1 franchise, including the right to register for or vote at an
2 election, or automatic forfeiture of any other right or
3 privilege held by the eligible offender and covered by the
4 certificate. The conviction may not be deemed to be a
5 conviction within the meaning of any provision of law that
6 imposes, by reason of a conviction, a bar to any employment,
7 a disability to exercise any right or a disability to apply
8 for or to receive any license, permit, or other authority or
9 privilege covered by the certificate; provided, however, a
10 conviction for a second or subsequent violation of Section
11 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed within the
12 preceding 10 years shall impose a disability to apply for or
13 receive a driver's license or permit during the period
14 provided in that Code. A certificate of relief from a
15 disability imposed under Section 11-501 of the Illinois
16 Vehicle Code may only be issued upon a determination that
17 compelling circumstances warrant that relief.
18 (c) A certificate of relief from disabilities does not,
19 however, in any way prevent any judicial, administrative,
20 licensing, or other body, board, or authority from relying
21 upon the conviction specified in the certificate as the basis
22 for the exercise of its discretionary power to suspend,
23 revoke, or refuse to issue or refuse to renew any license,
24 permit, or other authority or privilege.
25 (730 ILCS 5/5-5.5-15 new)
26 Sec. 5-5.5-15. Certificates of relief from disabilities
27 issued by courts.
28 (a) Any circuit court of this State may, in its
29 discretion, issue a certificate of relief from disabilities
30 to an eligible offender for a conviction that occurred in
31 that court if the court imposed a sentence other than one
32 executed by commitment to an institution under the Department
33 of Corrections. The certificate may be issued (i) at the time
-10- LRB093 10340 RLC 10594 b
1 sentence is pronounced, in which case it may grant relief
2 from forfeitures as well as from disabilities, or (ii) at any
3 time thereafter, in which case it shall apply only to
4 disabilities.
5 (b) The certificate may not be issued by the court
6 unless the court is satisfied that:
7 (1) the person to whom it is to be granted is an
8 eligible offender, as defined in Section 5-5.5-5;
9 (2) the relief to be granted by the certificate is
10 consistent with the rehabilitation of the eligible
11 offender; and
12 (3) the relief to be granted by the certificate is
13 consistent with the public interest.
14 (c) If a certificate of relief from disabilities is not
15 issued at the time sentence is pronounced it shall only be
16 issued thereafter upon verified application to the court. The
17 court may, for the purpose of determining whether the
18 certificate shall be issued, request the probation or court
19 services department to conduct an investigation of the
20 applicant. Any probation officer requested to make an
21 investigation under this Section shall prepare and submit to
22 the court a written report in accordance with the request.
23 (d) Any court that has issued a certificate of relief
24 from disabilities may at any time issue a new certificate to
25 enlarge the relief previously granted provided that the
26 provisions of clauses (1) through (3) of subsection (b) of
27 this Section apply to the issuance of any such new
28 certificate.
29 (e) Any written report submitted to the court under this
30 Section is confidential and may not be made available to any
31 person or public or private agency except if specifically
32 required or permitted by statute or upon specific
33 authorization of the court. However, it shall be made
34 available by the court for examination by the applicant's
-11- LRB093 10340 RLC 10594 b
1 attorney, or the applicant himself or herself, if he or she
2 has no attorney. In its discretion, the court may except from
3 disclosure a part or parts of the report that are not
4 relevant to the granting of a certificate, or sources of
5 information which have been obtained on a promise of
6 confidentiality, or any other portion of the report,
7 disclosure of which would not be in the interest of justice.
8 The action of the court excepting information from disclosure
9 shall be subject to appellate review. The court, in its
10 discretion, may hold a conference in open court or in
11 chambers to afford an applicant an opportunity to controvert
12 or to comment upon any portions of the report. The court may
13 also conduct a summary hearing at the conference on any
14 matter relevant to the granting of the application and may
15 take testimony under oath.

17 Sec. 5-5.5-20. Certificates of relief from disabilities
18 issued by the Prisoner Review Board.
19 (a) The Prisoner Review Board shall have the power to
20 issue a certificate of relief from disabilities to:
21 (1) any eligible offender who has been committed
22 to an institution under the jurisdiction of the
23 Department of Corrections. The certificate may be issued
24 by the Board at the time the offender is released from
25 the institution under the conditions of parole or
26 mandatory supervised release or at any time thereafter;
27 or
28 (2) any eligible offender who resides within this
29 State and whose judgment of conviction was rendered by a
30 court in any other jurisdiction.
31 (b) If the Prisoner Review Board has issued a certificate
32 of relief from disabilities, the Board may at any time issue
33 a new certificate enlarging the relief previously granted.
-12- LRB093 10340 RLC 10594 b
1 (c) The Prisoner Review Board may not issue any
2 certificate of relief from disabilities under subsections (a)
3 or (b), unless the Board is satisfied that:
4 (1) the person to whom it is to be granted is an
5 eligible offender, as defined in Section 5-5.5-5;
6 (2) the relief to be granted by the certificate is
7 consistent with the rehabilitation of the eligible
8 offender; and
9 (3) the relief to be granted by the certificate is
10 consistent with the public interest.
11 (d) Any certificate of relief from disabilities issued
12 by the Prisoner Review Board to an eligible offender, who at
13 time of the issuance of the certificate is under the
14 conditions of parole or mandatory supervised release
15 established by the Board, shall be deemed to be a temporary
16 certificate until such time as the eligible offender is
17 discharged from parole or mandatory supervised release, and,
18 while temporary, the certificate may be revoked by the Board
19 for violation of the conditions of parole or mandatory
20 supervised release. Revocation shall be upon notice to the
21 parolee or releasee, who shall be accorded an opportunity to
22 explain the violation prior to a decision on the revocation
23 of the certificate. If the certificate is not so revoked, it
24 shall become a permanent certificate upon expiration or
25 termination of the offender's parole or mandatory supervised
26 release term.
27 (e) In granting or revoking a certificate of relief from
28 disabilities, the action of the Prisoner Review Board shall
29 be by unanimous vote of the members authorized to grant or
30 revoke parole or mandatory supervised release.
31 (f) The certificate may be limited to one or more
32 enumerated disabilities or bars, or may relieve the
33 individual of all disabilities and bars.

2 Sec. 5-5.5-25. Certificate of good conduct.
3 (a) A certificate of good conduct may be granted as
4 provided in this Section to relieve an individual of any
5 disability, or to remove any bar to his or her employment,
6 automatically imposed by law by reason of his or her
7 conviction of the crime or of the offense specified in the
8 certificate. The certificate may be limited to one or more
9 enumerated disabilities or bars or may relieve the individual
10 of all disabilities and bars.
11 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a
12 conviction of a crime or of an offense specified in a
13 certificate of good conduct may not be deemed to be a
14 conviction within the meaning of any provision of law that
15 imposes, by reason of a conviction, a bar to any employment,
16 a disability to exercise any right or a disability to apply
17 for or to receive any license, permit or other authority or
18 privilege covered by the certificate.
19 (c) A certificate of good conduct may not, however, in
20 any way prevent any judicial administrative, licensing, or
21 other body, board, or authority from considering the
22 conviction specified in the certificate in accordance with
23 the provisions of this Article.
24 (730 ILCS 5/5-5.5-30 new)
25 Sec. 5-5.5-30. Issuance of certificate of good conduct.
26 (a) The Prisoner Review Board, or any 3 members of the
27 Board by unanimous vote, shall have the power to issue a
28 certificate of good conduct to any person previously
29 convicted of a crime in this State, when the Board is
30 satisfied that:
31 (1) the applicant has conducted himself or herself
32 in a manner warranting the issuance for a minimum period
33 in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of
-14- LRB093 10340 RLC 10594 b
1 this Section;
2 (2) the relief to be granted by the certificate is
3 consistent with the rehabilitation of the applicant; and
4 (3) the relief to be granted is consistent with the
5 public interest.
6 (b) The Prisoner Review Board, or any 3 members of the
7 Board by unanimous vote, shall have the power to issue a
8 certificate of good conduct to any person previously
9 convicted of a crime in any other jurisdiction, when the
10 Board is satisfied that:
11 (1) the applicant has demonstrated that there exist
12 specific facts and circumstances and specific Sections of
13 Illinois State law that have an adverse impact on the
14 applicant and warrant the application for relief to be
15 made in Illinois; and
16 (2) the provisions of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3)
17 of subsection (a) of this Section have been met.
18 (c) The minimum period of good conduct by the individual
19 referred to in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this

21 which the individual was convicted is a misdemeanor, the
22 minimum period of good conduct shall be one year; if the most
23 serious crime of which the individual was convicted is a
24 Class 1, 2, 3, or 4 felony, the minimum period of good
25 conduct shall be 3 years; and, if the most serious crime of
26 which the individual was convicted is first degree murder or

30 maximum sentence that could have been imposed based upon the
31 conviction under the laws of the foreign jurisdiction. The
32 minimum period of good conduct by the individual shall be
33 measured either from the date of the payment of any fine
34 imposed upon him or her, or from the date of his or her
-15- LRB093 10340 RLC 10594 b
1 release from custody by parole, mandatory supervised release
2 or commutation or termination of his or her sentence. The
3 Board shall have power and it shall be its duty to

5 grant or deny the same within a reasonable time after the
6 making of the application.
7 (d) If the Prisoner Review Board has issued a certificate
8 of good conduct, the Board may at any time issue a new
9 certificate enlarging the relief previously granted.
10 (e) Any certificate of good conduct by the Prisoner
11 Review Board to an individual who at the time of the issuance
12 of the certificate is under the conditions of parole or
13 mandatory supervised release imposed by the Board, shall be
14 deemed to be a temporary certificate until the time as the
15 individual is discharged from the terms of parole or
16 mandatory supervised release, and, while temporary, the
17 certificate may be revoked by the Board for violation of the
18 conditions of parole or mandatory supervised release.
19 Revocation shall be upon notice to the parolee or releasee,
