Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 20 simplifies the process for handling discrimination charges under the Illinois Human Rights Act. Specifically, if a person has already started a court case related to their charge, the state will stop its investigation and inform the person about their right to continue seeking justice in court. This change is important because it helps avoid overlapping legal efforts and ensures that individuals can focus on their court proceedings without unnecessary delays from the state's process.
