Summary
The bill changes the Illinois Human Rights Act so that when the EEOC issues a right‑to‑sue, the state Department of Human Rights also issues its own right‑to‑sue notice. It creates a 35‑day window for complainants to request a departmental review and a 60‑day opt‑out period to move directly to court, giving claimants clearer timelines and choices.
