Illinois HB 3773 (AI in Employment Decisions)
Complete compliance reference
Summary
Illinois HB 3773 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, including with respect to recruitment, hiring, promotion, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeship, discharge, discipline, tenure, or terms, privileges, or conditions of employment. The law also requires employers to provide notice to employees and applicants when AI is used for these purposes. Effective January 1, 2026. 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.
