Full Legal Analysis
HB1811 introduces significant amendments to the Illinois Human Rights Act and the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act regarding predictive data analytics. The bill clarifies that it does not prevent the use of predictive data analytics to support the inclusion of diverse candidates in employment decisions, while also defining 'predictive data analytics' as the use of automated machine learning algorithms for analyzing a person's behavior. Importantly, it prohibits the use of race or zip code as risk factors resulting in rejection of credit or other adverse actions, mandating that entities using predictive analytics for over 50 consumers annually must implement procedures to prevent such biases.
