COLLINS-BURKE-FEIGENHOLTZ. (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.
