(TROTTER) 20 ILCS 2630/5 from Ch. 38, par. 206-5 Amends the Criminal Identification Act. Provides for the automatic expungement and sealing of arrest and conviction records of a person convicted of a crime if the conviction is reversed because of actual innocence. Effective immediately. JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of the Illinois Courts) The bill would neither decrease nor increase the number of judges needed in the State. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes provision that the court must make a finding that the person was actually innocent of the crime for which he or she was convicted in order for the defendant's record to be expunged. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Office of the Illinois Courts) Although the duty to expunge would appear to conflict with the need to conduct further proceedings in a case that is reversed and remanded, it is not anticipated that the amended bill would have a significant fiscal impact on the judicial branch. JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Office of the Illinois Courts) This bill would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State. CORRECTIONS NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Corrections) There is no corrections population or fiscal impact on the Department. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.

Effective immediately. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 3. Adds reference to: 725 ILCS 105/10.6 new Amends the State Appellate Defender Act.
