• Prohibits employers from asking applicants whether records have been expunged or sealed.

• Creates new Section 500-76 of the Illinois Insurance Code establishing categories of criminal history that insurance producer applicants do not need to report, including juvenile adjudications, sealed/expunged records, and arrests without conviction.

• Requires the Insurance Director to consider rehabilitation evidence and mitigating factors when reviewing felony convictions of insurance producer applicants, with affirmative obligation to demonstrate how a conviction would impair job performance.
