Found the background links: https://isp.illinois.gov/BureauOfIdentification/BackgroundChecks Check out the quicklinks to the right. Quote from the link: "On January 1, 1991, the Uniform Conviction Information Act (UCIA) became law in Illinois. This act mandates that all criminal history record conviction information collected and maintained by the Illinois State Police, Bureau of Identification, be made available to the public pursuant to 20 ILCS 2635/1 et seq. This law permits only conviction information to be disseminated to the public." Good luck.
