| 1 | | AN ACT concerning safety. | 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly: | 4 | | Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by | 5 | | adding 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 | 17 | | from the waste stream prior to combustion or disposal is | 18 | | an effective way to reduce mercury pollution. | 19 | | (4) All fluorescent lamps contain mercury and can | 20 | | create an immediate public health and environmental hazard | 21 | | when they accidentally break during installation, use, | 22 | | transportation, storage, recycling, or disposal. | 23 | | (5) Light-emitting diode (LED) replacements for |

| 1 | | fluorescent lamps do not contain any mercury. | 2 | | (b) In this Section: | 3 | | "Compact fluorescent lamp" means a compact low-pressure, | 4 | | mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a | 5 | | fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy | 6 | | generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and | 7 | | includes all of the following characteristics: | 8 | | (1) One base (end cap) of any type, including, but not | 9 | | limited to, screw, bayonet, 2 pins, and 4 pins. | 10 | | (2) Integrally ballasted or non-integrally ballasted. | 11 | | (3) Light emission between a correlated color | 12 | | temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024 | 13 | | and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination | 14 | | (CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS). | 15 | | (4) All tube diameters and all tube lengths. | 16 | | (5) All lamp sizes and shapes for directional and | 17 | | nondirectional installations, including, but not limited | 18 | | to, PL, spiral, twin tube, triple twin, 2D, U-bend, and | 19 | | circular. | 20 | | "Linear fluorescent lamp" means a low-pressure, | 21 | | mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a | 22 | | fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy | 23 | | generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and | 24 | | includes all of the following characteristics: | 25 | | (1) Two bases (end caps) of any type, including, but | 26 | | not limited to, single-pin, two-pin, and recessed double |

| 1 | | contact. | 2 | | (2) Light emission between a correlated color | 3 | | temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024 | 4 | | and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination | 5 | | (CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS). | 6 | | (3) All tube diameters, including, but not limited to, | 7 | | T5, T8, T10, and T12. | 8 | | (4) All tube lengths from 0.5 to 8.0 feet, inclusive. | 9 | | (5) All lamp shapes, including, but not limited to, | 10 | | linear, U-bend, and circular. | 11 | | "Sunlamp product" has the meaning given in 21 CFR | 12 | | 1040.20(b)(9). | 13 | | (c) Beginning January 1, 2026, no person shall sell, offer | 14 | | to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured | 15 | | product a screw-base or bayonet-base type compact fluorescent | 16 | | lamp. | 17 | | (d) beginning January 1, 2027, no person shall sell, offer | 18 | | to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured | 19 | | product a pin-base type compact fluorescent lamp or a linear | 20 | | fluorescent lamp. | 21 | | (e) The prohibitions in this Section do not apply to the | 22 | | following: | 23 | | (1) A lamp designed and marketed exclusively for image | 24 | | capture and projection, including: | 25 | | (A) photocopying; | 26 | | (B) printing, directly or in preprocessing; |

| 1 | | (C) lithography; | 2 | | (D) film or video projection; or | 3 | | (E) holography. | 4 | | (2) A lamp that has a high proportion of ultraviolet | 5 | | light emission and is one of the following: | 6 | | (A) a lamp with high ultraviolet content that has | 7 | | ultraviolet power greater than 2 milliwatts per | 8 | | kilolumen (mW/klm); | 9 | | (B) a lamp for germicidal use, such as the | 10 | | destruction of DNA, that emits a peak radiation of | 11 | | approximately 253.7 nanometers; | 12 | | (C) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for | 13 | | disinfection or fly trapping from which either the | 14 | | radiation power emitted between 250 and 315 nanometers | 15 | | represents at least 5% of, or the radiation power | 16 | | emitted between 315 and 400 nanometers represents at | 17 | | least 20% of, the total radiation power emitted | 18 | | between 250 and 800 nanometers; | 19 | | (D) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for | 20 | | the generation of ozone where the primary purpose is | 21 | | to emit radiation at approximately 185.1 nanometers; | 22 | | (E) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for | 23 | | coral zooxanthellae symbiosis from which the radiation | 24 | | power emitted between 400 and 480 nanometers | 25 | | represents at least 40% of the total radiation power | 26 | | emitted between 250 and 800 nanometers; and |
