(DART-LYONS,EILEEN-KLINGLER-ZICKUS) New Act Deletes everything. Creates the Halal Food Act. Contains only a short title provision. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Adds reference to: 815 ILCS 505/2KK new Deletes everything. Creates the Halal Food Act. ("Halal" food is defined to mean food that is prepared under and maintained in strict compliance with the laws of the Islamic religion.) Makes it a Class B misdemeanor for any person to: make a statement that tends to deceive or otherwise lead a reasonable individual to believe that a non-halal food product is halal; falsely represent any food sold, prepared, served, or offered for sale to be halal; remove or destroy the original identification affixed to food commodities to indicate they are halal; or engage in certain other conduct. Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that a dealer who prepares, distributes, sells, or exposes for sale any food represented to be halal shall disclose the basis upon which that representation is made by posting the information required by the Director of Agriculture in a conspicuous place upon the premises at which the food is sold or exposed for sale. Provides that a violation is an unlawful practice. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2. In the definition of "advertise", includes advertising in Internet and electronic media. In the definition of "food", includes "any beverage" (rather than "any alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage"). SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 3. Replaces everything with provisions substantially similar to those of S-am 1 and S-am 2, creating the Halal Food Act and amending the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Changes from S-am 1 and S-am 2 include the following: (1) In the definition of "halal", adds a reference to laws and customs as expressed by recognized Islamic entities and scholars; (2) adds references to farms on which animals are raised and references to the growing of animals represented to be grown in a halal way; (3) makes it a Class B misdemeanor to falsely represent any animal sold, grown, or offered for sale to be grown in a halal way to become food for human consumption; and (4) in the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, provides that neither an animal represented to be grown in a halal way to become food for human consumption, nor a food commodity represented as halal, may be offered for sale until the dealer has registered documenting information of the certifying Islamic entity. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. In the Halal Food Act, in the definition of "food" and related terms, adds references to inspections of food and food products as required by law and to approval of food preparation sources by the Department of Agriculture. Provides that nothing in the Halal Food Act shall be construed to exempt halal food from any provisions of the federal Humane Methods of Slaughter Act of 1978 that may be applicable. In the amendatory changes to the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, requires that documenting information concerning halal food be registered with the Director of Agriculture. FISCAL NOTE (Department of Agriculture) SB 750 would not impose any additional cost on the Department to implement. The Department could comply with the increased number of inspections with its current existing staff and resources.
