Report Link Illinois Prohibition on Sexual Orientation Discrimination Takes Effect.Jackson Lewis LLP - January 27, 2006 On January 1, 2006, it became illegal for employers doing business in Illinois to discriminate against individuals on the basis of sexual orientation. An amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act, signed into law almost a year ago but not effective until January 1, added "sexual orientation" to the list of protected categories in hiring and employment. Under current Illinois law, employers with fifteen or more employees may not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, citizenship status, age (over 40), martial status, military service or unfavorable discharge, and sexual orientation. Employers with as few as one employee can be liable for discriminating based on physical or mental handicap or for sexual harassment.
