AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2363

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2363 by replacing
3everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4    "Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by
5adding Section 21.8 as follows:
 
6    (415 ILCS 5/21.8 new)
7    Sec. 21.8. Fluorescent lamp bans.
8    (a) The General Assembly finds that:
9        (1) Mercury is a persistent and toxic pollutant that
10    bioaccumulates in the environment and poses a serious
11    threat to humans, particularly young children, and
12    wildlife.
13        (2) Human exposure to mercury can result in nervous
14    system, kidney, and liver damage and impaired childhood
15    development.
16        (3) Removal of mercury and mercury-containing products

1    from the waste stream prior to combustion or disposal is
2    an effective way to reduce mercury pollution.
3        (4) All fluorescent lamps contain mercury and can
4    create an immediate public health and environmental hazard
5    when they accidentally break during installation, use,
6    transportation, storage, recycling, or disposal.
7        (5) Light-emitting diode (LED) replacements for
8    fluorescent lamps do not contain any mercury.
9    (b) In this Section:
10    "Compact fluorescent lamp" means a compact low-pressure,
11mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a
12fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy
13generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and
14includes all of the following characteristics:
15        (1) One base (end cap) of any type, including, but not
16    limited to, screw, bayonet, 2 pins, and 4 pins.
17        (2) Integrally ballasted or non-integrally ballasted.
18        (3) Light emission between a correlated color
19    temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024
20    and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination
21    (CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS).
22        (4) All tube diameters and all tube lengths.
23        (5) All lamp sizes and shapes for directional and
24    nondirectional installations, including, but not limited
25    to, PL, spiral, twin tube, triple twin, 2D, U-bend, and
26    circular.

 

 

10300HB2363ham001- 3 -LRB103 04761 BDA 71623 a

1    "Linear fluorescent lamp" means a low-pressure,
2mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a
3fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy
4generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and
5includes all of the following characteristics:
6        (1) Two bases (end caps) of any type, including, but
7    not limited to, single-pin, two-pin, and recessed double
8    contact.
9        (2) Light emission between a correlated color
10    temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024
11    and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination
12    (CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS).
13        (3) All tube diameters, including, but not limited to
14    T5, T8, T10, and T12.
15        (4) All tube lengths from 0.5 to 8.0 feet, inclusive.
16        (5) All lamp shapes, including, but not limited to,
17    linear, U-bend, and circular.
18    "Sunlamp product" has the meaning given in 21 CFR
191040.20(b)(9).
20    (c) Beginning January 1, 2026, no person shall sell, offer
21to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured
22product a screw-base or bayonet-base type compact fluorescent
23lamp.
24    (d) beginning January 1, 2027, no person shall sell, offer
25to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured
26product a pin-base type compact fluorescent lamp or a linear

1fluorescent lamp.
2    (e) The prohibitions in this Section do not apply to the
3following:
4        (1) A lamp designed and marketed exclusively for image
5    capture and projection, including:
6            (A) photocopying;
7            (B) printing, directly or in preprocessing;
8            (C) lithography;
9            (D) film or video projection; or
10            (E) holography.
11        (2) A lamp that has a high proportion of ultraviolet
12    light emission and is one of the following:
13            (A) a lamp with high ultraviolet content that has
14        ultraviolet power greater than 2 milliwatts per
15        kilolumen (mW/klm);
16            (B) a lamp for germicidal use, such as the
17        destruction of DNA, that emits a peak radiation of
18        approximately 253.7 nanometers;
19            (C) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for
20        disinfection or fly trapping from which either the
21        radiation power emitted between 250 and 315 nanometers
