  1/21/2005SenatePublic Act . . . . . . . . . 93-1078

Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
775 ILCS 5/1-103from Ch. 68, par. 1-103


Synopsis As Introduced
Amends provisions of the Illinois Human Rights Act. Provides that, for purposes of the Act, discrimination based on national origin includes discrimination based on the language spoken in the place in which a person or one of his or her ancestors was born. Effective January 1, 2005.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Human Rights)
 Minimal fiscal impact expected.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
775 ILCS 5/7A-102from Ch. 68, par. 7A-102

Amends provisions concerning the investigation of charges by the Department of Human Rights. Eliminates language providing that questions of credibility shall be considered in determining whether there is substantial evidence that an alleged civil rights violation has been committed. The provisions added by this amendment are effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
In the definition of "sex", provides that the terms "because of sex" or "on the basis of sex" include, but are not limited to, because of pregnancy, the perception of pregnancy, childbirth, or pregnancy-related conditions. Provides that persons with those conditions shall be treated the same for all employment-related purposes, including receipt of benefits under fringe benefit programs, as other persons not so affected by those conditions who are similar in their ability or inability to work.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Human Rights)
 As amended by HA1, no fiscal impact.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Human Rights)
 As amended by HA2, minimal fiscal impact, as the Department already takes pregnancy cases under the basis of "sex" discrimination.

 Judicial Note (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 As amended by House Amendment 1 and 2, Senate Bill 3186 may increase judicial workloads. However, the bill would not increase the number of judges needed in the State.

 Housing Affordability Impact Note (Housing Development Authority)
 This legislation will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence.

 State Debt Impact Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission)
 As amended by HA1 & 2, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and therefore would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Pension Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission)
 As amended by HA1, does not amend the Pension Code and would not affect employees covered by any Illinois public pension fund or retirement system.

Conference Committee No. 1
Adds reference to:
775 ILCS 5/Art. 1 heading
775 ILCS 5/1-101.1 new

775 ILCS 5/1-103from Ch. 68, par. 1-103
775 ILCS 5/3-103from Ch. 68, par. 3-103
775 ILCS 5/3-106from Ch. 68, par. 3-106

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed as requiring any employer, employment agency, or labor organization to give preferential treatment or special rights or implement affirmative action policies or programs 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 5 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".
