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.

    Sec. 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Powdered Caffeine Control and Education Act.

410 ILCS 647/5
    (410 ILCS 647/5)
    Sec. 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a warning concerning powdered pure caffeine that companies market to consumers. The powder, often sold in bulk, is nearly 100% pure caffeine. Caffeine powder is easily purchased online, including on websites that sell vitamins and supplements. Because the product is unregulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration, health experts indicate that it is nearly impossible to know what dose of caffeine an individual is consuming, even if the powder is measured carefully. While caffeine in small quantities is generally not dangerous for human consumption, large quantities of caffeine can be extremely dangerous, even fatal. The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the consumption of caffeine and related stimulants by children and adolescents.
