AI controls
Illinois: the date, and the controls that answer it
House Bill 3773 has been in force since 1 January 2026.
The dates
Illinois House Bill 3773 has been in force since 1 January 2026. It amends the Illinois Human Rights Act so that an employer may not use artificial intelligence in a way that discriminates in recruitment, hiring, promotion, discipline, discharge or any other term of employment, and must notify applicants and employees when AI is used in those decisions.
The control test
The control test: an inventory of every AI tool that touches an employment decision, including the ones inside the applicant tracking and HR systems that nobody calls AI; the notice control, tested against a sample of real applicants and employees; a review of what each tool sees and decides, with the human review documented; and the record that shows the decisions were made the way the policy says. You receive the inventory, the control matrix, the test workpapers and a gap list with an owner and a date on every line.
