Under current law, Illinois prosecutors can file objections to people seeking name changes who have any previous convictions, from felonies to low-level misdemeanors. The policy can create major barriers for trans people with criminal records.
In Illinois, Trans People With Criminal Records Still Face Hurdles to Changing Their Names
