Illinois bars discriminatory AI and zip-code proxies in employment decisions

See how this story connects

Source: Morgan LewisAlso reported by Jones Day

Governor J.B. Pritzker signed HB 3773 on 9 August 2024, amending the Illinois Human Rights Act from 1 January 2026. Employers may not use AI that has the effect of discriminating against protected classes in hiring, promotion, discipline or discharge, may not use zip codes as a proxy, and must tell employees when AI is used in those decisions.

Why it matters

Illinois employers must give notice of AI use in employment decisions and face civil-rights liability for discriminatory effects, whatever the vendor’s design.
