2029 is a long time to wait when a record is holding you back right now.

While Illinois prepares to roll out automatic sealing through the Clean Slate Act, many people may already be eligible to seal their records today.

Don’t wait for the system to catch up if help is available now. Click “Legal Help” in our bio or click “Get Help” on our website (CGLA.net)

The passage of the Clean Slate Act reflects years of collaboration among directly impacted leaders, community organizations, advocates, legislators, and coalition partners committed to expanding opportunity across Illinois.

This victory belongs to the people who shared their stories, challenged the status quo, and fought to ensure that a past record does not become a lifelong barrier.

We’re proud to have contributed to this work alongside so many dedicated partners and remain committed to helping individuals navigate record relief and access new opportunities.
