HB 4194

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act. Prohibits an employer from requiring an employee to solicit customers to apply for issuance of a credit card, or other credit confirmation or identification, that is intended primarily for the purpose of purchasing or leasing goods or services from the employer, a person related to the employer, or others licensed or franchised to do business under the employer's business or trade name or designation. Provides that it is a civil rights violation for an employer to discharge or discriminate against an employee in promotion, compensation, or the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment for failing or refusing to solicit customers to apply for issuance of a credit card or other credit confirmation or identification. Contains applicability provisions regarding employees affected by a collective bargaining or other employment agreement that is inconsistent with the new provisions.
