HUM RTS-CREDIT SCORES

Sponsored By: Kevin John Olickal (Democratic)

Passed

Summary

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Provides that it is a civil rights violation under the Act to refuse to lease or rent real property or otherwise discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of a real estate transaction by using an applicant's credit score or credit history as a disqualifying factor if that applicant's source of income includes a local, State, or federal housing subsidy. "Housing subsidy" includes, but is not limited to, housing choice vouchers, permanent supportive housing program placements, or rapid rehousing subsidies. Provides that use of credit scores or history to deny a rental application to a person with a housing subsidy is a violation of the Act as it constitutes a practice that subjects individuals to discrimination based on source of income without a legitimate, nondiscriminatory necessity.
