A City Council committee on Monday put teeth into a groundbreaking ordinance aimed at preventing out-of-state residents coming to Chicago for abortions or gender-affirming care outlawed in their home states from becoming targets of investigation.
Four months after the Bodily Autonomy Sanctuary City Ordinance passed the Council, the Committee on Health and Human Relations voted to empower Chicago’s Commission on Human Relations to “investigate and adjudicate complaints” of “discrimination and retaliation related to housing and job discrimination.”
