Synopsis As Introduced
Amends provisions of the Illinois Human Rights Act concerning preliminary investigations by the Attorney General before the initiation of civil actions in circuit court.

Contains provisions regarding: venue; petitions to modify or set aside a subpoena; hearings; orders; and enforcement. Deletes language providing that if a person fails or refuses to file a statement or report or obey a subpoena, the Attorney General is deemed to have met the requirement of conducting a preliminary investigation and may commence a civil action to enforce the provisions of the Act.
