        Amends the 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 other affirmative      
   action 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  4  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".                                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (Human Rights Commission)                                
          There would be no fiscal impact on the Commission in FY98. If        
          there is a 5% increase (as in Chicago/Cook County), the Comm.        
          anticipates approximately 26 more complaints. For every 80 to        
          90 additional complaints, the Commission would need an addi-         
          tional adminstrative law judge (ALJ), and for every 5 ALJs, one      
          Assistant General Counsel, and for every 3 ALJs, a clerical          
          support person. Total estimated for all additional staff would       
          be between $89,000 and $92,000.                                      
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB1241 fails to create a State mandate       
          under the State Mandates Act.                                        
          FISCAL NOTE (Dpt. Human Services)                                    
          Charges are expected to increase by $250,000 annually.               
          JUDICIAL NOTE                                                        
          It has been determined that the bill would neither decrease nor      
          increase the need for the number of judges in the state.             
          HOME RULE NOTE                                                       
          HB 1241 does not preempt home rule authority.                        
          HOUSING AFFORDABILITY NOTE                                           
          No fiscal effect on a single-family residence.
