Amid a Moody's report describing Illinois as a below average performer in job and income growth, the governor is set to sign legislation opponents say will open business owners up to frivolous lawsuits. House Bill 2161 is now on the governor's desk. The bill seeks to prevent discrimination by an employer based on an employee’s family responsibilities.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
So this bill is designed to discriminate against those who are single and have no family responsibilities?
How big is the problem they are trying to solve? Are there long lines of people in the unemployed line who were fired for being caregivers?
