Provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed as requiring any employer, employment agency, or labor organization to give preferential treatment or other affirmative action based on sexual orientation. Provides that discrimination against a person because of his or her sexual orientation constitutes unlawful discrimination under the Act. Provides that it is a civil rights violation to engage in blockbusting in real estate because of the present or prospective entry of persons with a particular sexual orientation into the vicinity. Provides that the owner of an owner-occupied residential building with 4 or fewer units is not prohibited from making decisions regarding whether to rent to a person based upon that person's sexual orientation. Defines "sexual orientation". FISCAL NOTE (Human Rights Commission) There would be no fiscal impact on the Commission in FY98. If there is a 5% increase (as in Chicago/Cook County), the Comm. anticipates approximately 26 more complaints. For every 80 to 90 additional complaints, the Commission would need an addi- tional adminstrative law judge (ALJ), and for every 5 ALJs, one Assistant General Counsel, and for every 3 ALJs, a clerical support person. Total estimated for all additional staff would be between $89,000 and $92,000. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE In the opinion of DCCA, HB1241 fails to create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act. FISCAL NOTE (Dpt. Human Services) Charges are expected to increase by $250,000 annually. JUDICIAL NOTE It has been determined that the bill would neither decrease nor increase the need for the number of judges in the state. HOME RULE NOTE HB 1241 does not preempt home rule authority. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY NOTE No fiscal effect on a single-family residence. 97-02-28 H FIRST READING 97-02-28 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR HOWARD 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SCOTT 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FANTIN 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR ACEVEDO 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BOLAND 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BUGIELSKI 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BURKE 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR CURRIE 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR DART 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR DAVIS,MONIQUE 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR ERWIN 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FEIGENHOLTZ 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FLOWERS 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FRITCHEY 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR JONES,LOU 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR JONES,SHIRLEY 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR KENNER 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR KOTLARZ 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR LANG 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR LOPEZ 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR RONEN 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SANTIAGO 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SCHAKOWSKY 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SCHOENBERG 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR SILVA 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR STROGER 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR TURNER,ART 97-02-28 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR YOUNGE 97-03-05 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE HUMAN SERVS 97-03-05 H JOINT-SPONSOR CHANGED TO MADIGAN,MJ 97-03-12 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED ZICKUS 97-03-12 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED ZICKUS 97-03-12 H JUDICIAL NOTE REQUESTED ZICKUS 97-03-12 H COMMITTEE HUMAN SERVS 97-03-13 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 007-004-000 HHSV 97-03-13 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-13 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-13 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-14 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-14 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-18 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-18 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-19 H JUDICIAL NOTE FILED 97-03-19 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-19 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-20 H HOME RULE NOTE FILED 97-03-20 H CALENDAR ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-21 H HOUSING AFORDABILITY IMPCT NOTE FILED 97-03-21 H CALENDAR ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-14 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BRADLEY 97-04-24 H THIRD READING - CONSIDERATION POSTPONED 97-04-24 H PLACED CALENDAR-CONSIDERATION POSTPONED 97-04-25 H RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 19(A) RULES HRUL 99-01-12 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
