HB5211

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to include new civil rights violations in employment.

The bill amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to add several new civil rights violations in employment. It prohibits employers from requiring a driver's license unless driving is a job function and alternatives are impractical. It also bans discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, and mandates reasonable accommodations unless they cause undue hardship. Additionally, it prohibits harassment of nonemployees, use of artificial intelligence that discriminates, and zip code proxies for protected classes.
