Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB4743

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Equal Pay Act of 2003.

Sets forth exceptions,

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends prohibiting pay and wage discrimination against any employee who belongs to a protected class that is based on race, color, national origin, or ancestry and against whom such practices would constitute "unlawful discrimination" under the Illinois Human Rights Act (rather than prohibiting pay and wage discrimination against African-American employees).
