1  AN ACT concerning safety.
2  Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3  represented in the General Assembly:
4  Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
5  adding Section 21.8 as follows:
6  (415 ILCS 5/21.8 new)
7  Sec. 21.8. Fluorescent lamp bans.
8  (a) The General Assembly finds that:
9  (1) Mercury is a persistent and toxic pollutant that
10  bioaccumulates in the environment and poses a serious
11  threat to humans, particularly young children, and
12  wildlife.
13  (2) Human exposure to mercury can result in nervous
14  system, kidney, and liver damage and impaired childhood
15  development.
16  (3) Removal of mercury and mercury-containing products
17  from the waste stream prior to combustion or disposal is
18  an effective way to reduce mercury pollution.
19  (4) All fluorescent lamps contain mercury and can
20  create an immediate public health and environmental hazard
21  when they accidentally break during installation, use,
22  transportation, storage, recycling, or disposal.
23  (5) Light-emitting diode (LED) replacements for

1  fluorescent lamps do not contain any mercury.
2  (b) In this Section:
3  "Compact fluorescent lamp" means a compact low-pressure,
4  mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a
5  fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy
6  generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and
7  includes all of the following characteristics:
8  (1) One base (end cap) of any type, including, but not
9  limited to, screw, bayonet, 2 pins, and 4 pins.
10  (2) Integrally ballasted or non-integrally ballasted.
11  (3) Light emission between a correlated color
12  temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024
13  and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination
14  (CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS).
15  (4) All tube diameters and all tube lengths.
16  (5) All lamp sizes and shapes for directional and
17  nondirectional installations, including, but not limited
18  to, PL, spiral, twin tube, triple twin, 2D, U-bend, and
19  circular.
20  "Linear fluorescent lamp" means a low-pressure,
21  mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a
22  fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy
23  generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and
24  includes all of the following characteristics:
25  (1) Two bases (end caps) of any type, including, but
26  not limited to, single-pin, two-pin, and recessed double

2  (2) Light emission between a correlated color
3  temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024
4  and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination
5  (CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS).
6  (3) All tube diameters, including, but not limited to,
7  T5, T8, T10, and T12.
8  (4) All tube lengths from 0.5 to 8.0 feet, inclusive.
9  (5) All lamp shapes, including, but not limited to,
10  linear, U-bend, and circular.
11  "Sunlamp product" has the meaning given in 21 CFR
12  1040.20(b)(9).
13  (c) Beginning January 1, 2026, no person shall sell, offer
14  to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured
15  product a screw-base or bayonet-base type compact fluorescent
16  lamp.
17  (d) beginning January 1, 2027, no person shall sell, offer
18  to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured
19  product a pin-base type compact fluorescent lamp or a linear
20  fluorescent lamp.
21  (e) The prohibitions in this Section do not apply to the
22  following:
23  (1) A lamp designed and marketed exclusively for image
24  capture and projection, including:
25  (A) photocopying;
26  (B) printing, directly or in preprocessing;
