Bill > SB2092

This bill amends the Stalking No Contact Order Act to create a new process for expungement of stalking no contact orders. Specifically, the bill allows for an order to be expunged if both the petitioner (the person who originally sought the protective order) and the court agree that the order was issued due to a mistake in fact. When such an expungement occurs, the clerk of the court must immediately file a certified copy of the expungement order with the Illinois State Police (ISP). Additionally, all records related to the emergency order must be expunged no later than 3 business days after the court issues the expungement order. This provision provides a mechanism for individuals to clear their records if a stalking no contact order was issued erroneously, ensuring that mistaken protective orders do not unnecessarily remain on a person's record and potentially impact their future opportunities.
