AN ACT concerning safety.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Environmental Protection Act is amended by |
adding Section 21.8 as follows:
|
(415 ILCS 5/21.8 new) |
Sec. 21.8. Fluorescent lamp bans. |
(a) The General Assembly finds that: |
(1) Mercury is a persistent and toxic pollutant that |
bioaccumulates in the environment and poses a serious |
threat to humans, particularly young children, and |
wildlife. |
(2) Human exposure to mercury can result in nervous |
system, kidney, and liver damage and impaired childhood |
development. |
(3) Removal of mercury and mercury-containing products |
from the waste stream prior to combustion or disposal is |
an effective way to reduce mercury pollution. |
(4) All fluorescent lamps contain mercury and can |
create an immediate public health and environmental hazard |
when they accidentally break during installation, use, |
transportation, storage, recycling, or disposal. |
(5) Light-emitting diode (LED) replacements for |
|
fluorescent lamps do not contain any mercury. |
(b) In this Section: |
"Compact fluorescent lamp" means a compact low-pressure, |
mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a |
fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy |
generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and |
includes all of the following characteristics: |
(1) One base (end cap) of any type, including, but not |
limited to, screw, bayonet, 2 pins, and 4 pins. |
(2) Integrally ballasted or non-integrally ballasted. |
(3) Light emission between a correlated color |
temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024 |
and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination |
(CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS). |
(4) All tube diameters and all tube lengths. |
(5) All lamp sizes and shapes for directional and |
nondirectional installations, including, but not limited |
to, PL, spiral, twin tube, triple twin, 2D, U-bend, and |
circular. |
"Linear fluorescent lamp" means a low-pressure, |
mercury-containing, electric-discharge light source in which a |
fluorescent coating transforms some of the ultraviolet energy |
generated by the mercury discharge into visible light, and |
includes all of the following characteristics: |
(1) Two bases (end caps) of any type, including, but |
not limited to, single-pin, two-pin, and recessed double |
|
contact. |
(2) Light emission between a correlated color |
temperature of 1700K and 24000K and a Delta u, v of +0.024 |
and -0.024 in the International Commission on Illumination |
(CIE) Uniform Color Space (CAM02-UCS). |
(3) All tube diameters, including, but not limited to, |
T5, T8, T10, and T12. |
(4) All tube lengths from 0.5 to 8.0 feet, inclusive. |
(5) All lamp shapes, including, but not limited to, |
linear, U-bend, and circular. |
"Sunlamp product" has the meaning given in 21 CFR |
1040.20(b)(9). |
(c) Beginning January 1, 2026, no person shall sell, offer |
to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured |
product a screw-base or bayonet-base type compact fluorescent |
lamp. |
(d) beginning January 1, 2027, no person shall sell, offer |
to sell, or distribute in the State as a new manufactured |
product a pin-base type compact fluorescent lamp or a linear |
fluorescent lamp. |
(e) The prohibitions in this Section do not apply to the |
following: |
(1) A lamp designed and marketed exclusively for image |
capture and projection, including: |
(A) photocopying; |
(B) printing, directly or in preprocessing; |
|
(C) lithography; |
(D) film or video projection; or |
(E) holography. |
(2) A lamp that has a high proportion of ultraviolet |
light emission and is one of the following: |
(A) a lamp with high ultraviolet content that has |
ultraviolet power greater than 2 milliwatts per |
kilolumen (mW/klm); |
(B) a lamp for germicidal use, such as the |
destruction of DNA, that emits a peak radiation of |
approximately 253.7 nanometers; |
(C) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for |
disinfection or fly trapping from which either the |
radiation power emitted between 250 and 315 nanometers |
represents at least 5% of, or the radiation power |
emitted between 315 and 400 nanometers represents at |
least 20% of, the total radiation power emitted |
between 250 and 800 nanometers; |
(D) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for |
the generation of ozone where the primary purpose is |
to emit radiation at approximately 185.1 nanometers; |
(E) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for |
coral zooxanthellae symbiosis from which the radiation |
power emitted between 400 and 480 nanometers |
represents at least 40% of the total radiation power |
emitted between 250 and 800 nanometers; and |
|
(F) a lamp designed and marketed exclusively for |
use in a sunlamp product. |
(3) A lamp designed and marketed exclusively for use |
in medical or veterinary diagnosis or treatment or in a |
medical device. |
(4) A lamp designed and marketed exclusively for use |
in the manufacturing or quality control of pharmaceutical |
