MINOR
The bill was finalized as an Enrolled version, expanding its scope to amend two separate sections of the Illinois Human Rights Act instead of just one. This change ensures that the rules regarding how the Department reviews Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) findings apply consistently across different parts of the law. Additionally, minor formatting adjustments were made to the text to ensure clarity and consistency in the final legal document.
Scope change
The bill's scope of amendment was broadened to include both Section 7A-102 and Section 8A-104 of the Illinois Human Rights Act, whereas the previous version only referenced Section 7A-102.
SCOPE
The list of amended sections was updated to include Section 8A-104 in addition to Section 7A-102, extending the bill's application to a broader range of the Human Rights Act.
TECHNICAL
Minor spacing and formatting adjustments were made throughout the text to align the Enrolled version with standard legislative formatting requirements.
