Bill > SB0117

This bill amends the PFAS Reduction Act to prohibit the sale, offering for sale, or distribution of certain products containing intentionally added PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) in Illinois starting January 1, 2026. The banned products include cookware (such as pots, pans, and cooking utensils), cosmetics (items applied to the human body for cleansing or beautifying), dental floss, juvenile products (items for children under 12, like cribs, strollers, and car seats), menstrual products (tampons, pads, menstrual cups), intimate apparel (bras, underwear, socks), and food packaging or food contact products (containers, wrappers, trays). PFAS are a class of fluorinated chemicals known for their water and stain-resistant properties, but also associated with potential health risks. The bill defines "intentionally added PFAS" as chemicals deliberately added during manufacturing or reasonably anticipated to be present in the final product. Violators can be subject to civil penalties of up to $5,000 for a first offense and $10,000 for subsequent violations, with collected penalties deposited into the Environmental Protection Trust Fund.
