Illinois Human Rights Commission asks Senate for $25,000 as HUD payments stall Vic Hartman, executive director and general counsel of the Illinois Human Rights Commission, told the Senate Appropriations panel on Jan. 15 the agency needs a $25,000 budget adjustment after expected HUD payments for last year’s fair-housing work have not arrived; Hartman warned proposed HUD rules could limit the Commission’s ability to enforce gender-identity protections and disparate-impact claims.
