	775 ILCS 5/1-102	from Ch. 68, par. 1-102

775 ILCS 5/1-103

from Ch. 68, par. 1-103

Makes a technical change in the Bill of Rights for the Homeless Act. Provides that the Department of Human Rights shall enforce the rights of homeless persons set forth in the Bill of Rights for the Homeless Act, in accordance with the Illinois Human Rights Act (instead of monitoring and enforcing those rights or designating a local health department or officer to monitor and enforce those rights). Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act; prohibits unlawful discrimination based on a person's housing status.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
In connection with the right of a homeless person to vote, which may not be denied solely because the person does not have a permanent residence, adds a provision that this right is notwithstanding any provision of the Election Code.
