Summary

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Provides that with respect to employment, it is a civil rights violation for an employer to refuse to provide reasonable accommodations for an employee for conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, if she so requests, with the advice of her health care provider. Provides that the term "reasonable accommodations" means actions which would permit such an employee to perform in a reasonable manner the activities involved in the job or occupation including an accessible worksite, acquisition or modification of equipment, job restructuring, and modified work schedule. Provides that the reasonable accommodations shall be undertaken provided that those actions do not impose an undue hardship on the business, program, or enterprise of the entity from which the actions are requested.

Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of HB 8, the language regarding reasonable accommodations in the workplace has been clarified. The bill now specifies that these accommodations should be provided not only for people with disabilities but also for employees injured on the job and those with medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. This change is important because it strengthens protections for pregnant employees and ensures they receive the support they need, especially during a vulnerable time.
