Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

to paragraph (C) of Section 8-111 or remand for any type of hearing as it
may deem necessary pursuant to paragraph (D) of Section 8A-103.
(C) Dismissal for Refusal to Accept Settlement Offer. The Commission
shall dismiss a complaint and the underlying charge or charges of

|
|
2. the respondent offers and the complainant declines
| | to accept the terms of settlement that the Commission determines are sufficient to eliminate the effect of the civil rights violation charged and to prevent repetition of the violation.

In determining whether the respondent has eliminated the effects
of the civil rights violation charged, or has offered terms of settlement
sufficient to eliminate same, the Commission shall consider the extent to
which the respondent has either fully provided, or reasonably offered by

repetition of the violation. Respondent's motion and complainant's reply, if
any, shall
comply with the requirements for summary decision set forth in Section
8-106.1 of this Act.
