(SULLIVAN)

   New Act                                                                     

        Creates the Mercury Fever Thermometer Prohibition Act.  Makes  it      
   unlawful for a person to knowingly sell or give away, or offer to sell      
   or  give  away,  a mercury fever thermometer to a consumer or patient.      
   Makes it unlawful to manufacture a mercury fever thermometer.  Makes a      
   violation of the Act a petty offense punishable by a fine of not  less      
   than  $50  nor more than $200.  Limits the concurrent exercise of home      
   rule powers in a manner inconsistent with the Act.                          
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 3 (Environmental Protection Agency)                
          HB 3637, as amended by H-am 3, could impose some minor costs         
          upon Illinois EPA in responding to reported violations; how-         
          ever, the level of such costs would be wholly dependent upon         
          the number of complaints received by the Agency as a result          
          of the bill.                                                         
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 3.                                                 
        Deletes  everything.  Creates  the  Mercury   Fever   Thermometer      
   Prohibition Act. Sets forth legislative findings. Provides that (1) on      
   or  after  July 1, 2003, no person shall sell, distribute, or give for      
   promotional  purposes  (including   online   retail)   mercury   fever      
   thermometers  in  this  State  and  (2)  on  or after July 1, 2003, no      
   hospital shall distribute mercury fever thermometers in  maternity  or      
   new  baby gift packs to patients.  Provides that these prohibitions do      
   not apply to mercury fever thermometers sold or provided to be used in      
   a health care facility. Provides that on or after  July  1,  2003,  no      
   person  shall  manufacture  a mercury fever thermometer in this State.      
   Provides that a person who violates the  Act  is  guilty  of  a  petty      
   offense  and upon conviction is subject to a fine of not less than $50      
   and not more than $200 for each violation.
