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. 20.
Labeling.
(a) On and after July 1, 1992, the following information shall appear on
the face or display side in a readable and conspicuous form on every soil
amendment product container or shall accompany each bulk order of a soil
amendment product distributed in this State and shall be considered the label:
(1) Net weight.
(2) Brand (or product) name.
(3) Guaranteed analysis, which shall include the name |
| of all soil amending and other ingredients and the percentage of the whole product each ingredient constitutes.
|
|
(4) Purpose of the product.
(5) Directions for use.
(6) Name and address of registrant or person
|
| distributing the product in this State.

(b) The Director may require proof of claims made or usefulness or value
of any soil amendment product. The Director may rely on experimental data,
evaluations, or advice from sources such as the Agricultural Experiment
Station and other professionally trained scientists for the required proof.
(c) No soil amending ingredient may be listed or guaranteed on the label
without the permission of the Director. The Director shall allow
ingredients to be listed if satisfactory proof of value and usefulness is
provided that substantiates the usefulness and value of the ingredient and
supports the claims made. When a soil amending ingredient is allowed to be
listed or guaranteed, it must be determinable by laboratory methods and is
subject to inspection and official sample analysis.
(d) The Director shall require the listing on the label of all
substances included as other ingredients in each soil amendment product.
(e) The Director may allow labeling by volume rather than by weight.
(f) If the Director finds that a registered soil amendment product
contains plant nutrient ingredients, regardless of amount, he or she may
require the label to so state.
