HUMN RTS-PRIOR CONVICTIONS

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Provides that it is the policy of this State to prevent discrimination based on prior criminal conviction in employment. Establishes that it is a civil rights violation for an employer, employment agency, or labor organization to inquire into or to use the fact of a prior criminal conviction, or an arrest or criminal history record information (rather than an arrest or criminal history record information) as a basis to refuse to hire, to segregate, or to act with respect to recruitment, hiring, promotion, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeship, discharge, discipline, tenure or terms, privileges or conditions of employment, unless otherwise required by federal or State law.
