IL SB3458

Department of State Police must furnish conviction information to financial institutions (banks, credit unions, and subsidiaries) upon request to determine if employees, applicants, or affiliated parties have felony or dishonesty-related convictions.

Expands Criminal Identification Act to include requesting institutions as defined in the new section among entities authorized to receive conviction information from the Department of State Police.

Prisoner Review Board gains authority to issue certificates of eligibility for sealing Class 3 and Class 4 felony convictions for eligible applicants, with unanimous vote of 3-member panel required.

Establishes eligibility requirements for certificate of sealing including 5-year waiting period after sentence expiration, no arrests for 5 years (excluding minor offenses), drug program completion for drug convictions, and exclusions for sex offenses, violent crimes, and DUI convictions.

Creates new sealing process under Criminal Identification Act allowing individuals with Prisoner Review Board certificates to petition courts to seal arrest and conviction records while maintaining access for law enforcement and sentencing purposes.
