Provides that the court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all claims against the State for time unjustly served in a county jail, on parole, on intensive supervision probation, or on the sex offender registry, when the unjustly convicted person received a pardon from the Governor stating that such pardon is issued on the ground of innocence of the crime for which he or she was convicted or he or she received a certificate of innocence from the Circuit Court.

Provides that neither a guilty plea nor a confession constitutes conduct causing or bringing about one's conviction or delinquency adjudication. Requires, if the court finds that the petitioner is entitled to a judgment, the court to make a determination of the reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the certificate of innocence. Provides that any person seeking a certificate of innocence based on the dismissal of a juvenile delinquency petition or an acquittal on such petition that occurred before the effective date of the amendatory Act, including a petitioner whose petition was denied solely on the basis that this Section did not formerly apply to juvenile delinquency adjudications, shall file his or her petition within 4 years after the effective date of the amendatory Act. Provides that any person seeking a certificate of innocence based on the dismissal of a juvenile delinquency petition or an acquittal on such petition that occurred on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act shall file his or her petition within 2 years after the dismissal or acquittal.
