This presentation from the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) provides a “Know Your Rights” overview of protections related to arrest and conviction records. Participants will learn how the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) safeguards individuals from discrimination in employment and housing, what legally constitutes discrimination, and the narrow exceptions employers may consider. The session also highlights the role of local ordinances that can expand protections and offers step‑by‑step guidance on how to file a discrimination complaint with IDHR.
