CD CORR-GOOD CONDUCT&RELIEF

Summary
Amends the Unified Code of Corrections concerning certificates of good conduct and certificates of relief from disabilities. Provides that the certificate may be granted to an eligible offender who has demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence (rather than by clear and convincing evidence) that he or she has been a law-abiding citizen and is fully rehabilitated. Provides that the applicant has conducted himself or herself in a manner warranting the issuance of the certificate of good conduct for a minimum period of one year (rather than 3 years if the person was convicted of a felony and one year if the person was convicted of a misdemeanor).
