Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 7B-103. Settlement.
    (A) Circumstances. A settlement of any charge prior to the filing of a complaint may be effectuated at any time upon agreement of the parties and the approval of the Department. A settlement of any charge after the filing of complaint shall be effectuated as specified in Section 8-105(A)(2) of this Act.
    (B) Form. Settlements of charges prior to the filing of complaints shall be reduced to writing by the Department, signed by the parties, and submitted by the Department to the Commission for approval. Settlements of charges after the filing of complaints shall be effectuated as specified in Section 8-105(A)(2) of this Act.
    (C) Violation.
        (1) When either party alleges that a settlement order
    
has been violated, the Department shall conduct an investigation into the matter.
        (2) Upon finding substantial evidence to demonstrate
    
that a settlement has been violated, the Department shall refer the matter to the Attorney General for enforcement in the circuit court in which the respondent or complainant resides or transacts business or in which the alleged violation took place.
    (D) Dismissal For Refusal To Accept Settlement Offer. The Department may dismiss a charge if it is satisfied that:
        (1) the respondent has eliminated the effects of the
    
civil rights violation charged and taken steps to prevent its repetition; or
        (2) the respondent offers and the aggrieved party
    
declines to accept terms of settlement which the Department finds are sufficient to eliminate the effects of the civil rights violation charged and prevent its repetition.
        (3) When the Department dismisses a charge under this
    
Section it shall notify the complainant that he or she may seek review of the dismissal order before the Commission. The aggrieved party shall have 30 days from receipt of notice to file a request for review by the Commission.
        (4) In determining whether the respondent has
    
eliminated the effects of the civil rights violation charged, or has offered terms of settlement sufficient to eliminate same, the Department shall consider the extent to which the respondent has either fully provided, or reasonably offered by way of terms of settlement, as the case may be, the relevant relief available to the aggrieved party under Section 8B-104 of this Act with the exception of civil penalties.
    (E) This amendatory Act of 1995 applies to causes of action filed on or after January 1, 1996.
    (F) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly apply to charges filed on or after the effective date of those changes.
