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.
Not a single “No” vote from the State House or Senate on Senate Bill 75 (SB 75), signed into law as Public Act 101-0221 (PA 101-0221) on August 9, 2019. One has to scan through 195 pages to determine how the Workplace Transparency Act changes existing law. The Daily Herald article included this sentence. “As the Illinois law calls for training programs that are approved by the Illinois Department of Human Rights, Huspen feels that the law has proper focus.” However a search on the Illinois Department of Human Rights (DHR) website for “Workplace Transparency” and “Public Act 101-0221” returns… Read more »
Gosh.

Good job Illinois. Add yet one more reason for business to leave. Congrats liberals. You win once again. Illinois is all yours….enjoy.

I just finished a 1 hour corporate mandatory harassment module on the HR site.
A lot on quid pro quo.
There must be over 15 protected classes.
The only group not protected are non disabled white cis males under the age of 65.
And for you, it’s guilt by accusation. “We believe you, [insert accuser’s name].”
the article said going forward you won’t be able to just do a computer module… lmao
you’re going to have to waste even more time having a “meeting” or something like that
Just like the biometeric law, this will be big time $bling$ for illinois law firms,,who im sure were behinde lobbying for law implementation. And sure most of cases will be filed by state, city & municiple workers on the backs of chump taxpayers
This is great for businesses! Just another reason not to hire more in Illinois! It’s like, are they purposely trying to drive small businesses out of Illinois? Small businesses owners are often middle class and Republican…..maybe that’s the goal? They really are trying to make our life miserable.
You have to move out of Illinois and take your money with you to make them miserable.This is all the start of what you will endure and it will be a lot worse as time goes on
