(Chicago, IL) — Illinois is expanding protections for residents with disabilities. Governor Pritzker yesterday signed a bill into law that amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to ban discrimination in housing selection based on source of income. That includes non-employment income such as Section eight vouchers or disability payments. Another measure seeks to expand accommodations for people with disabilities seeking to attend legislative meetings, hearings, and other government events at the Illinois Capitol Complex through formation of an Accessibility Task Force.
