Summary
Creates the Prevention of Gender-Based Discrimination in Service Industries Act. Prohibits a service business from discriminating on the basis of gender. Defines "service business" as a commercial enterprise that focuses on providing various services to customers and has no tangible, physical characteristics or products. This includes, but is not limited to, hairstylists, barbers, tailors, dry cleaners, and laundries. Provides that nothing in the Act prohibits price differences based specifically upon the amount of time, difficulty, or cost of providing the services. Requires these service businesses (tailors or businesses providing aftermarket clothing alterations, barbershops or hair salons, dry cleaners and laundries providing services to individuals) to post a notice that states they don't discriminate on prices charged for services of similar or like kind on the basis of the person's gender and that a complete price list is available upon request. Amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to provide that a person who violates the Prevention of Gender-Based Discrimination in Service Industries Act commits a civil rights violation within the meaning of the Illinois Human Rights Act, except as otherwise specified.
