1    AN ACT concerning safety.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Drug
5Take-Back Act.
 
6    Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
7        (1) A safe system for the collection and disposal of
8    unused, unwanted, and expired medicines is a key element
9    of a comprehensive strategy to prevent prescription drug
10    abuse and pharmaceutical pollution. Home medicine cabinets
11    are full of unused and expired prescription drugs, only a
12    fraction of which get disposed of properly.
13        (2) Storing unused, unwanted, or expired medicines can
14    lead to accidental poisoning, drug abuse, and even drug
15    trafficking, but disposing of medicines by flushing them
16    down the toilet or placing them in the garbage can
17    contaminate groundwater and other bodies of water,
18    contributing to long-term harm to the environment and
19    animal life.
20        (3) Manufacturers of these drugs hold the ultimate
21    responsibility for the lasting impacts of the drugs they
22    produce.
23        (4) The General Assembly therefore finds that it is in

 

 

HB1780 Enrolled- 2 -LRB102 13555 CPF 18902 b

4fraudulent material statement, orally or in writing, to the
5Agency, related to or required by this Act or any rule adopted
6under this Act commits a Class 4 felony, and each such
7statement or writing shall be considered a separate Class 4
8felony. A person who, after being convicted under this
9subsection (f), violates this subsection (f) a second or
10subsequent time, commits a Class 3 felony.
 
11    Section 70. Antitrust immunity. The activities authorized
12by this Act require collaboration among covered manufacturers
13and among authorized collectors. These activities will enable
14safe and secure collection and disposal of covered drugs in
15Illinois and are therefore in the best interest of the public.
16The benefits of collaboration, together with active State
17supervision, outweigh potential adverse impacts. Therefore,
18the General Assembly intends to exempt from State antitrust
19laws, and provide immunity through the state action doctrine
20from federal antitrust laws, activities that are undertaken
21pursuant to this Act that might otherwise be constrained by
22such laws. The General Assembly does not intend and does not
23authorize any person or entity to engage in activities not
24provided for by this Act, and the General Assembly neither
25exempts nor provides immunity for such activities.

11        or disclose internal documents of correctional
12        agencies related to detection, observation or
