Discrimination Bill Dies

On March 8th SB3447, written by Bill Brady, was relieved of its burden to disciminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and religion. The Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) would have lost some of its effectiveness and power if SB3447 had passed; SB3447 would have allowed discrimination to be applied in the employment practices of religious organizations, associations, societies and non-profits like United Way of Metropolitan Chicago.
