Illinois HB 3773
Illinois HB 3773 amended the Illinois Human Rights Act with effect from 1 January 2026. Using artificial intelligence that has the effect of discriminating on a protected characteristic in recruitment, hiring, promotion, discipline or discharge is a civil rights violation, and employers must notify people when AI is used in those decisions. The statute sets no testing standard, so the work is a review of the tools in use and of the notice practice around them, not an audit against published criteria.
Readiness assessment Certification is issued by an accredited certification body, not by iDharma. We assess your readiness against the standard and prepare the evidence and gap list that body will ask you for.What a readiness assessment covers
Scope is agreed before you are charged. For Illinois HB 3773 an engagement typically works through the areas below, evidencing each against what your systems actually do rather than what the documentation says they do.

Data & provenance
Where training and inference data came from, what it permits, and how representative it is.
Testing & performance
How the system is evaluated, on which populations, and what the failure modes look like.
Transparency & oversight
What users and affected people are told, and whether a person can meaningfully intervene.
Security & robustness
Resilience to misuse and adversarial input, and the controls around model and tool access.
Records & evidence
The logs and documentation you would need if a regulator, customer or insurer asked.
