Peoria — Ch. 17 Human Relations, Housing and Employment § 17-74
The provisions contained in this division shall not apply to persons or transactions exempted by section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-106).
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 17-74 of Peoria's Chapter 17 establishes that the fair housing rules in this division do not cover every situation — certain persons and transactions that are already carved out under Section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-106) are likewise exempt from Peoria's local requirements. In effect, the local ordinance tracks the state law's exemptions rather than creating an independent, broader scope of coverage. Understanding which transactions or parties qualify for that exemption requires looking at the state statute's specific criteria.

For Property Managers

Under § 17-74, property owners and managers whose situations fall within the exemptions defined by Section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act may not be subject to this division's fair housing obligations. Operators who believe they qualify for a state-law exemption typically document the factual basis for that exemption carefully, since the burden of demonstrating eligibility generally rests with the party claiming it. Consulting the Illinois Human Rights Act directly — or seeking guidance from a qualified legal professional — is a common step for operators assessing whether § 17-74's carve-out applies to their properties or transactions.

For Tenants

Section 17-74 limits the reach of Peoria's local fair housing division by incorporating the exemptions found in Section 3-106 of the Illinois Human Rights Act, which means some housing situations may fall outside the local ordinance's protections. Tenants who believe they have experienced discriminatory treatment should consider whether their situation involves an exempt transaction under state law before determining which avenue to pursue. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or reviewing the Illinois Human Rights Act to understand how the exemptions are defined.
