Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (775 ILCS 5/6-101.5)
    Sec. 6-101.5. Additional civil rights violations under Article 3. It is a civil rights violation for a person, or for 2 or more persons, to conspire, to:
        (A) retaliate against a person because the person has

opposed that which he or she reasonably and in good faith believes to be unlawful discrimination or discrimination based on familial status or arrest record in a real estate transaction under Article 3, because the person has made a charge, filed a complaint, testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this Act, or because the person has requested, attempted to request, used, or attempted to use a reasonable accommodation as allowed by this Act;

(B) aid, abet, compel, or coerce a person to commit

any violation of this Act; or

(C) willfully interfere with the performance of a

duty or the exercise of a power by the Commission or one of its members or representatives or the Department or one of its officers or employees.

For the purposes of this Section, "familial status" has the same meaning as defined in Section 3-101.
