Summary

Illinois HB 3773, enacted as Public Act 103-0804, amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to make it a civil rights violation for an employer to use artificial intelligence that has the effect of subjecting employees or applicants to discrimination on the basis of protected classes. The covered employment decisions include recruitment, hiring, promotion, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeship, discharge, discipline, tenure, and terms, privileges, or conditions of employment.

The official Public Act text also prohibits using zip codes as a proxy for protected classes and requires employers to provide notice when AI is used for the covered employment purposes. The Illinois Department of Human Rights is directed to adopt implementation and enforcement rules, including the circumstances requiring notice, the timing of notice, and the means for providing notice. Effective January 1, 2026 (official Public Act text retrieved 2026-05-06).

Enforcement is via the Illinois Department of Human Rights complaint process. Remedies follow standard IHRA procedures and may include actual damages, civil penalties, attorney's fees, and injunctive relief — there is no fixed per-violation cap.
