Section 336.90
Confidentiality During the Expungement Process
a)         The Department has an affirmative duty to protect the
confidentiality of personal information, in accordance with 89 Ill. Adm. Code
431 (Confidentiality of Personal Information of Persons Served by the
Department of Children and Family Services) and the Adoption Assistance and
Child Welfare Act of 1980 (42 USC 671(a)(8)). Confidentiality shall be

decision. All parties shall be advised of the Department's duty to protect
confidentiality during the administrative appeal.
b)         The ALJ has the right to exclude any individual or agency that
does not have the right of access to the information being presented in

the Children and Family Services Act, ANCRA, and any other pertinent Act.
c)         The ALJ has the authority to bifurcate the hearing into
separate segments that deal with issues of other parties in order to preserve
confidentiality as mandated under applicable statutes and rules and to prohibit
discussion or introduction of evidence that is outside of the scope of the
issues being presented in that segment.
