Lakeshore Compliance Partners

Illinois HB 3773 Compliance  ·  Effective January 1, 2026

Illinois made AI discrimination in hiring illegal on January 1. Most employers still aren't compliant — and now employees can sue.

Lakeshore Compliance Partners builds your HB 3773 compliance file end-to-end — the AI inventory, the required notices, the policy, and the training — in 90 days, for a fixed fee. Built with audit-grade rigor, so it holds up if anyone ever asks to see it.

  • Fixed-price engagements — no hourly surprises, no billable-hour roulette
  • A complete, dated, defensible compliance file in 90 days
  • Built by a 15-year audit professional, not a memo from a law firm

Serving Illinois employers with 100–2,000 employees. Lakeshore is a compliance consultancy, not a law firm.

You knew the law was coming. You probably even have a memo about it. So why does this still feel exposed?

Here's what we hear from HR Directors and General Counsel across Illinois:

"Our employment attorney sent us a 14-page memo. Nobody's actually done anything with it."

A memo tells you what the law says. It doesn't inventory your systems, write your notices, or build the file you'd hand over if a charge gets filed. That work falls to your already-buried HR team — and it never quite gets to the top of the list.

"I honestly don't know everywhere we're using AI."

Your ATS added AI matching last year. Your video interview tool scores candidates. Someone in HR is using Copilot to summarize interview notes. LinkedIn Recruiter ranks applicants. Under HB 3773, every one of those may trigger obligations — and most companies have never mapped them.

"If we got a demand letter tomorrow, I don't know what I'd pull."

HB 3773 carries a private right of action. That means a plaintiff's attorney — not just the IDHR — can bring a claim. The first thing they'll ask for is your documentation. If your answer is a half-finished policy and a memo nobody implemented, you're negotiating from weakness.

"Our broker just added an AI exclusion to our EPLI renewal."

Carriers are quietly pulling back from AI-related employment claims. Which means the exposure that used to sit with your insurer increasingly sits with you.

You don't need another memo. You need someone to actually build the thing.

We build your complete HB 3773 compliance file — and hand you the evidence.

Lakeshore runs a structured, audit-style engagement that turns "we know about the law" into "here is our dated, defensible compliance file." Fixed fee. Fixed timeline. No billable-hour roulette.

It starts with the one thing nobody else does well: the AI inventory.

Most firms hand you a policy template and call it compliance. But you can't write defensible notices or a real policy until you know exactly where AI touches employment decisions in your company. So that's where we start — a complete inventory of every system, vendor, and workflow that uses AI to screen, rank, score, assess, or decide. It's the foundation everything else is built on, and it's the single most valuable thing we deliver.

What you get in 90 days

  1. 1.

    AI Inventory & Risk Map — every AI-touched employment decision in your company, mapped, classified, and risk-rated.

  2. 2.

    Candidate & Employee Notices — the disclosures HB 3773 requires, drafted and ready to deploy.

  3. 3.

    AI Use Policy — a board-ready internal policy governing how AI is used in employment decisions.

  4. 4.

    Vendor Due Diligence File — a documented review of your AI-touching HR vendors, so the file shows you checked.

  5. 5.

    HR Team Training — a focused 1-hour session so your team knows the new rules and the new workflow.

  6. 6.

    The Compliance File Itself — everything dated, organized, and assembled the way an auditor would build it to survive examination.

How we work

A three-step engagement designed for documentation discipline.

Every artifact builds on the one before it. Inventory grounds the notices; notices feed the policy; policy guides the training.

01 Inventory

Map where AI touches employment decisions across systems, vendors, and informal workflows.

02 Build

Draft the notices, the AI use policy, and the vendor-diligence file the law requires.

03 Train

Train your HR team on the workflow, then hand over the assembled, dated compliance file.

Transparent, fixed-price engagements. No hourly surprises.
