Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

415 ILCS 151/1-3

    (415 ILCS 151/1-3)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)
    Sec. 1-3. Findings; purpose.
    (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
        (1) Many older and obsolete consumer electronic
    
products contain materials which may pose environmental and health risks that should be managed.
        (2) Consumer electronic products contain metals,
    
plastics, glass, and other potentially valuable materials. The reuse and recycling of these materials can conserve natural resources and energy.
        (3) The recycling and reuse of the covered electronic
    
devices defined under this Act falls within the State of Illinois' interest in the proper management of such products.
        (4) Illinois counties and municipalities may face
    
significant cost burdens in collecting and processing obsolete electronic products for reuse and recycling.
        (5) Manufacturers of electronic products should share
    
responsibility for the proper management of obsolete consumer electronic products.
        (6) Illinois counties and municipalities, and the
    
citizens of Illinois, will benefit from the implementation of a program or programs for the proper management of obsolete consumer electronic products operated by manufacturers that are actively overseen by the State.
        (7) It is the intent of the State to allow
    
manufacturers to coordinate their activities and programs related to the proper management of obsolete covered electronic devices as defined under this Act under strict State supervision regardless of the effect the manufacturers' actions or such coordination will have on competition.
        (8) It is in the best interest of the State to
    
promote the coordination of manufacturer activities and programs related to the proper management of obsolete covered electronic devices through participation in a manufacturer clearinghouse as set forth in the Act.
    (b) The purpose of this Act is to further the interest of the State of Illinois in the proper management of obsolete consumer electronic products by setting forth procedures by which the recycling and processing for reuse of covered electronic devices will be accomplished by manufacturers for those counties and municipalities that wish to opt-in to electronic product manufacturer-run recycling and processing programs that are approved and overseen by the State of Illinois.
