Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

At a minimum, promotion, education, and public outreach must include the following: (1) Promoting the proper management of drugs by | | residents and the collection of covered drugs through a drug take-back program.
|
| (2) Discouraging residents from disposing of drugs in
| | household waste, sewers, or septic systems.
|
| (3) Promoting the use of the drug take-back program
| | so that where and how to return covered drugs is readily understandable to residents.
|
| (4) Maintaining a toll-free telephone number and
| | website publicizing collection options and collection sites, and discouraging improper disposal practices for covered drugs, such as disposal in household waste, sewers, or septic systems.
|
| (5) Preparing and distributing to program collection
| | sites, for dissemination to consumers, the educational and outreach materials. The materials must use plain language and explanatory images to make collection services and discouraged disposal practices readily understandable by residents, including residents with limited English proficiency.
|
| (6) Promotional materials prepared and distributed in
| | conjunction with an approved drug take-back program under this Section may not be used to promote in-home disposal products of any kind, including, but not limited to, in-home disposal products of authorized collectors participating in a drug take-back program.
|
| The program promotion requirements under this Section do not apply to any drug take-back program established prior to the effective date of this Act that provides promotional or educational materials to the public about the proper collection and management of covered drugs.
