1 AN ACT to amend the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business
2 Practices Act by adding Section 2JJ.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business
6 Practices Act is amended by adding Section 2JJ as follows:
7 (815 ILCS 505/2JJ new)
8 Sec. 2JJ. Advertising; rebates. It is an unlawful
9 practice under this Act for a retailer to advertise the
10 availability of a manufacturer's rebate by displaying the net
11 price of the advertised item in the advertisement unless the
12 amount of the manufacturer's rebate is discounted from the
13 purchase price of the advertised item at the time of sale to
14 the consumer. A retailer is not required to provide the
15 purchaser of an advertised item with the amount of the
16 manufacturer's rebate if the retailer advertises that a
17 manufacturer's rebate is available without stating the net
18 price of the item in the advertisement. In this Section,
19 "net price" means the ultimate price paid by a consumer after
20 he or she redeems the manufacturer's rebate offered for the
21 advertised item. In this Section, "retailer" has the meaning
22 ascribed to that term in the Use Tax Act.
