| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |

|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by |
| 5 |
| changing Section 11-1 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (305 ILCS 5/11-1) (from Ch. 23, par. 11-1)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 11-1. No discrimination). There shall be no |
| 8 |
| discrimination or denial
of financial aid and
and social |
| 9 |
| services on account of the race, religion, color,
national |
| 10 |
| origin, sex, marital status, or political affiliation of any
|
| 11 |
| applicant or recipient. This paragraph shall not prevent the |
| 12 |
| Department from
treating individuals differently as a result of |
| 13 |
| the rights and responsibilities
that arise under law from |
| 14 |
| marital status. |
| 15 |
| Participation in any marriage promotion or family |
| 16 |
| formation activity is
voluntary.
Non-participation shall not |
| 17 |
| affect any person's eligibility for or receipt of
financial aid |
| 18 |
| or
social services in any program under this Code.
|
| 19 |
| Where financial aid or social services are granted to |
| 20 |
| certain classes of
persons under a program for which federal |
| 21 |
| funds are available, nothing in
this Section shall require |
| 22 |
| granting of financial aid or social services
to other persons |
| 23 |
| where federal funds would not be available as to those other
|
| 24 |
| persons.
