Governor Pritzker has signed several bills into law in the last couple of weeks that significantly change the Illinois Human Rights Act. Jane May of IFMK Law has prepared a memo for ICRMT members that describes the changes. The new laws create protected classes for family responsibilities and reproductive health decisions, place certain limitations on the use of AI in employment, and extend the time by which a charge of discrimination must be filed to two years.
