| | SB0836 Engrossed | | LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b |
|
| 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 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Paint | 5 | | Stewardship Act. | 6 | | Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that: | 7 | | (1) Leftover architectural paints present significant | 8 | | waste management issues for counties and municipalities and | 9 | | create costly environmental, health, and safety risks if not | 10 | | properly managed. | 11 | | (2) Nationally, an estimated 10% of architectural paint | 12 | | purchased by consumers is leftover. Current governmental | 13 | | programs collect only a fraction of the potential leftover | 14 | | paint for proper reuse, recycling, or disposal. In northern | 15 | | Illinois, there are only 4 permanent household hazardous waste | 16 | | facilities, and these facilities do not typically accept latex | 17 | | paint, which is the most common paint purchased by consumers. | 18 | | (3) It is in the best interest of this State for paint | 19 | | manufacturers to assume responsibility for the development and | 20 | | implementation of a cost-effective paint stewardship program | 21 | | that will educate consumers on strategies to reduce the | 22 | | generation of leftover paint; provide opportunities to reuse | 23 | | leftover paint; and collect, transport, and process leftover |

|
| 1 | | paint for end-of-life management, including reuse, recycling, | 2 | | and disposal. Requiring paint manufacturers to assume | 3 | | responsibility for the collection, recycling, reuse, | 4 | | transportation, and disposal of leftover paint will provide | 5 | | more opportunities for consumers to properly manage their | 6 | | leftover paint, provide fiscal relief for this State and local | 7 | | governments in managing leftover paint, keep paint out of the | 8 | | waste stream, and conserve natural resources. | 9 | | (4) Similar architectural paint stewardship programs | 10 | | currently operate in 11 jurisdictions and successfully divert | 11 | | a significant portion of the collected paint waste from | 12 | | landfills. These paint stewardship programs are saving | 13 | | counties and municipalities the cost of managing paint waste | 14 | | and have been successful at recycling leftover paint into | 15 | | recycled paint products as well as other products. For | 16 | | instance, in the State of Oregon, 64% of the latex paint | 17 | | collected in the 2019-2020 fiscal year was recycled into paint | 18 | | products, and in Minnesota, 48% of the latex paint collected | 19 | | during the same period was reused or recycled into paint | 20 | | products. Given the lack of access to architectural paint | 21 | | collection programs in Illinois, especially for leftover latex | 22 | | architectural paint, and the demonstrated ability of the paint | 23 | | industry to collect and recycle a substantial portion of | 24 | | leftover architectural paint, this legislation is necessary. | 25 | | It will create a statewide program that diverts a significant | 26 | | portion of paint waste from landfills and facilitates the |
| | | SB0836 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b |
|
| 1 | | recycling of leftover paint into paint and other products. | 2 | | (5) Establishing a paint stewardship program in Illinois | 3 | | will create jobs as the marketplace adjusts to the needs of a | 4 | | robust program that requires transporters and processors. | 5 | | Certain infrastructure already exists in the State, and the | 6 | | program may attract additional resources. | 7 | | (6) Legislation is needed to establish this program in | 8 | | part because of the risk of antitrust lawsuits. The program | 9 | | involves activities by competitors in the paint industry and | 10 | | may affect the costs or prices of those competitors. As | 11 | | construed by the courts, the antitrust laws impose severe | 12 | | constraints on concerted action by competitors that affect | 13 | | costs or prices. Absent State legislation, participation in | 14 | | this program would entail an unacceptable risk of class action | 15 | | lawsuits. These risks can be mitigated by legislation that | 16 | | would bar application of federal antitrust law under the | 17 | | "state action" doctrine. Under that doctrine, federal | 18 | | antitrust law does not apply to conduct that is (1) undertaken | 19 | | pursuant to a clearly expressed and affirmatively articulated | 20 | | state policy to displace or limit competition and (2) actively | 21 | | supervised by the state.
| 22 | | (7) To ensure that this defense will be available to | 23 | | protect participants in the program, it is important for this | 24 | | State's legislation to be specific about the conduct it is | 25 | | authorizing and to express clearly that the State is | 26 | | authorizing that conduct pursuant to a conscious policy |
| | | SB0836 Engrossed | - 4 - | LRB103 03291 CPF 48297 b |
|
| 1 | | decision to limit the unfettered operation of market forces. | 2 | | It is also critical for the legislation to provide for active | 3 | | supervision of the conduct that might otherwise be subject to | 4 | | antitrust attack. In particular, the legislation must provide | 5 | | for active supervision of the decisions concerning the | 6 | | assessments that will fund the program. A clear articulation | 7 | | of the State's purposes and policies and provisions for active | 8 | | State supervision of the program will ensure that industry | 9 | | participation in the program will not trigger litigation. | 10 | | (8) To ensure that the costs of the program are | 11 | | distributed in an equitable and competitively neutral manner, | 12 | | the program will be funded through an assessment on each | 13 | | container of paint sold in this State. That assessment will be | 14 | | sufficient to recover, but not exceed, the costs of sustaining | 15 | | the program and will be reviewed and approved by the | 16 | | Environmental Protection Agency. Funds collected through the | 17 | | assessment will be used by the representative organization to | 18 | | operate and sustain the program.
