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 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Paint
5 Stewardship Act.
6 Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
7 (1) Leftover architectural paints present significant
8 waste management issues for counties and municipalities and
9 create costly environmental, health, and safety risks if not
10 properly managed.
11 (2) Nationally, an estimated 10% of architectural paint
12 purchased by consumers is leftover. Current governmental
13 programs collect only a fraction of the potential leftover
14 paint for proper reuse, recycling, or disposal. In northern
15 Illinois, there are only 4 permanent household hazardous waste
16 facilities, and these facilities do not typically accept latex
17 paint, which is the most common paint purchased by consumers.
18 (3) It is in the best interest of this State for paint
19 manufacturers to assume responsibility for the development and
20 implementation of a cost-effective paint stewardship program
21 that will educate consumers on strategies to reduce the
22 generation of leftover paint; provide opportunities to reuse
23 leftover paint; and collect, transport, and process leftover

SB0836 Engrossed- 2 -LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b SB0836 Engrossed - 2 - LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b
SB0836 Engrossed - 2 - LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b
1 paint for end-of-life management, including reuse, recycling,
2 and disposal. Requiring paint manufacturers to assume
3 responsibility for the collection, recycling, reuse,
4 transportation, and disposal of leftover paint will provide
5 more opportunities for consumers to properly manage their
6 leftover paint, provide fiscal relief for this State and local
7 governments in managing leftover paint, keep paint out of the
8 waste stream, and conserve natural resources.
9 (4) Similar architectural paint stewardship programs
10 currently operate in 11 jurisdictions and successfully divert
11 a significant portion of the collected paint waste from
12 landfills. These paint stewardship programs are saving
13 counties and municipalities the cost of managing paint waste
14 and have been successful at recycling leftover paint into
15 recycled paint products as well as other products. For
16 instance, in the State of Oregon, 64% of the latex paint
17 collected in the 2019-2020 fiscal year was recycled into paint
18 products, and in Minnesota, 48% of the latex paint collected
19 during the same period was reused or recycled into paint
20 products. Given the lack of access to architectural paint
21 collection programs in Illinois, especially for leftover latex
22 architectural paint, and the demonstrated ability of the paint
23 industry to collect and recycle a substantial portion of
24 leftover architectural paint, this legislation is necessary.
25 It will create a statewide program that diverts a significant
26 portion of paint waste from landfills and facilitates the

SB0836 Engrossed - 3 - LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b
1 recycling of leftover paint into paint and other products.
2 (5) Establishing a paint stewardship program in Illinois
3 will create jobs as the marketplace adjusts to the needs of a
4 robust program that requires transporters and processors.
5 Certain infrastructure already exists in the State, and the
6 program may attract additional resources.
7 (6) Legislation is needed to establish this program in
8 part because of the risk of antitrust lawsuits. The program
9 involves activities by competitors in the paint industry and
10 may affect the costs or prices of those competitors. As
11 construed by the courts, the antitrust laws impose severe
12 constraints on concerted action by competitors that affect
13 costs or prices. Absent State legislation, participation in
14 this program would entail an unacceptable risk of class action
15 lawsuits. These risks can be mitigated by legislation that
16 would bar application of federal antitrust law under the
17 "state action" doctrine. Under that doctrine, federal
18 antitrust law does not apply to conduct that is (1) undertaken
19 pursuant to a clearly expressed and affirmatively articulated
20 state policy to displace or limit competition and (2) actively
21 supervised by the state.
22 (7) To ensure that this defense will be available to
23 protect participants in the program, it is important for this
24 State's legislation to be specific about the conduct it is
25 authorizing and to express clearly that the State is
26 authorizing that conduct pursuant to a conscious policy
SB0836 Engrossed - 3 - LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b
SB0836 Engrossed- 4 -LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b SB0836 Engrossed - 4 - LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b
SB0836 Engrossed - 4 - LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b
1 decision to limit the unfettered operation of market forces.
2 It is also critical for the legislation to provide for active
3 supervision of the conduct that might otherwise be subject to
4 antitrust attack. In particular, the legislation must provide
5 for active supervision of the decisions concerning the
6 assessments that will fund the program. A clear articulation
7 of the State's purposes and policies and provisions for active
8 State supervision of the program will ensure that industry
9 participation in the program will not trigger litigation.
10 (8) To ensure that the costs of the program are
11 distributed in an equitable and competitively neutral manner,
12 the program will be funded through an assessment on each
13 container of paint sold in this State. That assessment will be
14 sufficient to recover, but not exceed, the costs of sustaining
15 the program and will be reviewed and approved by the
16 Environmental Protection Agency. Funds collected through the
17 assessment will be used by the representative organization to
18 operate and sustain the program.

13 disapproved, the manufacturer or representative organization
14 shall resubmit a plan within 45 calendar days of receipt of the
15 notice of disapproval.
16 (e) If a manufacturer or representative organization
17 determines that the paint stewardship fee should be adjusted
18 because the independent audit reveals that the cost of
19 administering the program exceeds the revenues generated by
20 the paint stewardship fee, the manufacturer or representative
21 organization shall submit to the Agency a justification for
22 the adjustment as well as financial reports to support the
23 adjustment, including a 5-year projection of the financial
24 status of the organization. The submission shall include a

16 organization is implementing the plan for a manufacturer, the
17 manufacturer is responsible for filing, reporting, and
18 remitting the paint stewardship fee assessment for each
19 container of architectural paint to the representative
20 organization. A retailer or distributor shall not deduct the
21 amount of the fee from the purchase price of any paint it
