IL HB0765

Amends the Criminal Identification Act to prohibit private and public entities from considering expunged or sealed records, or arrests/charges that did not result in convictions, in employment decisions, certification, licensing, or registration matters.

Requires employment applications to include specific language stating applicants are not obligated to disclose sealed or expunged records or arrests/charges that did not result in convictions.

Prohibits employers from asking applicants whether they have had records expunged or sealed, or been subject to arrests or charges that did not result in convictions.

Creates a presumption that an employer who obtains such information through non-compliant inquiries or application forms has based hiring decisions on that disclosure, rebuttable only by clear and convincing evidence.

Clarifies that sealing or expungement does not affect victims' rights to pursue civil litigation or remit fines and costs paid as consequences of the original charges.
