Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Makes the provisions in the Act governing court actions arising out of civil rights violations applicable to those actions that arise out of civil rights violations in employment. Provides that no civil action based on a civil rights violation in connection with employment shall commence prior to 180 days after the filing of a charge with the Department of Human Rights. Provides that an action arising out of a civil rights violation in a real estate transaction may be filed irrespective of the filing of a charge with the Department. Prohibits the aggrieved party from filing an action based on a civil rights violation in employment or a real estate transaction when the hearing officer commences a hearing with respect to a complaint issued by the Department that forms the basis of the alleged civil rights violation. Prohibits the aggrieved party from filing an action arising out of a civil rights violation in employment or a real estate transaction when the Department or local agency obtains a conciliation or settlement agreement with the aggrieved party's consent. Upon the finding of a civil rights violation, authorizes the court or jury (now the court) to award actual and punitive damages to the plaintiff. Prohibits any punitive damage awards against the State. Authorizes the court to grant such injunctive relief as it deems appropriate; including, in the case of actions arising out of civil rights violations in employment, reinstatement or hiring of employees, with or without backpay, or any other equitable relief.
