On August 9, 2024, Governor Pritzker signed into law SB3310, amending the statute of limitations for filing charges with the Illinois Department of Human Rights. Under the current version of the Illinois Human Rights Act, claims based upon employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation must be brought within 300 calendar days of the last alleged unlawful action. The amendment, which goes into effect on January 1, 2025, extends the filing period to two years after the date the last alleged discrimination occurred. Importantly, any equivalent claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 must still be filed within 300 calendar days after the last discriminatory act occurs.
