Naperville Title 12 Human Rights and Fair Housing § 12-3-2 establishes that anyone who owns, operates, manages, or otherwise controls a place of public accommodation within Naperville is prohibited from denying or limiting a person's full use of that space on the basis of unlawful discrimination. The rule applies broadly to any form of control over a public accommodation, not just ownership. It is designed to ensure equal access to covered spaces for all individuals regardless of protected characteristics.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-3-2, property owners and managers who operate spaces that qualify as public accommodations in Naperville are generally expected to provide equal access and service to all individuals without distinction based on protected characteristics. Compliant operators typically review their admission, service, and operational policies to ensure no practice—whether formal or informal—results in curtailed or unequal use of the facility. Maintaining staff training and clear nondiscrimination policies are common practices associated with meeting this standard.
