1    AN ACT concerning safety.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
5adding 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,
4mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a
5fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy
6generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and
7includes 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,
21mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a
22fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy
23generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and
24includes 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

1    contact.
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
121040.20(b)(9).
13    (c) Beginning January 1, 2026, no person shall sell, offer
14to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured
15product a screw-base or bayonet-base type compact fluorescent
16lamp.
17    (d) beginning January 1, 2027, no person shall sell, offer
18to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured
19product a pin-base type compact fluorescent lamp or a linear
20fluorescent lamp.
21    (e) The prohibitions in this Section do not apply to the
22following:
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;
