Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

at any distance or direction from the product or lamp.

produce the expected results. The timing device shall not provide a timing
interval in excess of the product's recommended maximum exposure time, or
10 minutes. This requirement does not preclude the ability of the user to

label. "DANGER - Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. As with
natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye injury and sunburn, repeated
exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Medications
or cosmetics applied to the skin may increase your sensitivity to
