HB4758

Illinois HB4758 prohibits employers from requiring a driver's license unless driving is essential for the job.

Illinois HB4758 amends the Job Opportunities for Qualified Applicants Act to ensure that employers and employment agencies cannot refuse to hire, segregate, or discriminate against applicants or employees based on the lack of a driver's license unless driving is an essential job function or related to a legitimate business purpose. The Act also prohibits job postings from requiring a valid driver's license unless necessary for the position. This change aims to protect job applicants and employees from unnecessary barriers to employment. Effective January 1, 2027.
