Illinois Clean Slate Act fails to pass General Assembly for third time

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — The Illinois Clean Slate Act, designed to seal criminal records of nonviolent felons automatically, failed to pass the General Assembly.

The bill, which has been debated in the statehouse for years, would automatically seal the records for offenders only if they served their punishment and were not convicted of another crime within the three years following their release.

Currently, convicted criminals are barred from many careers and certifications due to their felony convictions.

The Illinois House passed the legislation in May, but it failed to advance out of the Senate, due to a May 31st deadline.
