Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act.   Provides  that  it  is  a      
   civil  rights  violation  for  any  person to restrict an individual's      
   access or admission to, or usage of, a place of  public  accommodation      
   solely because the individual operates a motorcycle. Does not prohibit      
   a  person  from restricting an individual's access or admission to, or      
   usage of, a place of public  accommodation  because  the  individual's      
   conduct poses a risk to the health, safety, or property of another.         
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Human Rights)                             
          The Department anticipates no fiscal impact to its operation         
          if HB 1039 passes.                                                   
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          775 ILCS 5/5-102                                                     
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          New Act                                                              
        Deletes   everything.    Creates    the    Motorcyclist    Public      
   Accommodation   Act.   Prohibits   any   person  from  restricting  an      
   individual's access to, admission to, or use  of  a  place  of  public      
   accommodation  solely  because  the  individual operates a motorcycle.      
   Provides that a violation is a petty offense  and  also  provides  for      
   civil  penalties.   Provides  that  the Act does not prohibit a person      
   from restricting an individual's access to, admission to, or use of  a      
   place of public accommodation because the individual's conduct poses a      
   risk to the health, safety, or property of another.                         
        GOVERNOR'S AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE                                     
        Recommends that the short title of the Act be changed from the         
   Motorcyclist Public Accommodation Act to the Public Accommodation Act.      
   In addition to prohibiting discrimination solely because an individual      
   operates a motorcycle, further recommends that the Act should also          
   prohibit discrimination solely because of an individual's sexual            
   orientation. Defines "sexual orientation". Provides that the Act            
   should not be construed to give any preferential treatment or special       
   rights. Eliminates the criminal penalty.
