Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 2008. Comparable quality standards.

(a) For the purposes of
implementing and enforcing this Act, the Agency shall set comparable
quality standards for each of the grades of newsprint available from all
suppliers of newsprint to determine the comparable quality of recycled
content newsprint to virgin material.  The standards shall be based on the
average numerical standards of printing opacity, brightness level, and
cross machine tear strength.

(b) The Agency shall review its standards at least once every 2
years and determine whether they should be adjusted to reflect changes in
industry standards and practices, and if so, the Agency shall set new standards.
