HUMAN RTS-EMPLOYMENT DISCRIM
Summary
Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Provides that it is a civil rights violation for any employer, employment agency, or labor organization to inquire into or use the fact of an arrest that did not result in a conviction, the fact of a criminal charge that did not result in a conviction, or criminal history record information ordered expunged, sealed or impounded under the Criminal Identification Act 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 (rather than the fact of an arrest or criminal history record information). Also provides that the prohibition against the use of the fact of an arrest or the fact of a criminal charge shall not be construed to prohibit an employer, employment agency, or labor organization from obtaining or using other information which indicates that a person actually engaged in the conduct for which he or she was arrested.
