IL HB3103

Creates the Preferred Terminology in Government Documents Act to establish "Asian" as the required term for referring to persons of Asian descent in all state and local government documents.

Prohibits the use of the term "Oriental" in state and local government statutes, codes, rules, regulations, and other official documents enacted after the effective date of the Act.

Finds that "Oriental" is outdated and pejorative terminology that must be replaced with the more modern and non-pejorative term "Asian."

Urges all state and local entities to review existing statutes, codes, rules, regulations, and official documents and revise them to remove use of the term "Oriental" when referring to persons of Asian descent.
