Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

775 ILCS 5/2-103

from Ch. 68, par. 2-103

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Makes it a civil rights violation for an employer, employment agency, or labor organization to inquire into or to use the fact of a felony conviction as a basis to refuse to hire, to segregate, or to act with respect to recruitment, hiring, promotion, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeship, discharge, discipline, tenure or terms, privileges or conditions of employment if more than 10 years have elapsed since the person was convicted of the felony (if the person was sentenced to probation or conditional discharge rather than a term of imprisonment) or the person was released from incarceration for the felony (without regard to any period of parole or mandatory supervised release). Provides that the new provisions do not prohibit a State agency, unit of local government or school district, or private organization from requesting or using unsealed felony conviction information under State or federal laws or regulations that require criminal background checks in evaluating the qualifications and character of an employee or a prospective employee, nor do the new provisions prohibit an employer, employment agency, or labor organization from obtaining or using other information indicating that a person actually engaged in the conduct for which he or she was convicted.
