LRB104 19979 WRO 33430 b

A BILL FOR

HB5366
LRB104 19979 WRO 33430 b
1

AN ACT concerning safety.

2

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3
represented in the General Assembly:

4

Section 1.
Short title.
This Act may be cited as the
5
Illinois Appliance Standards Act.

6

Section 5.
Findings.
The General Assembly finds that:
7

(1) Efficiency standards for certain products sold or
8

installed in the State assure consumers and businesses
9

that the products meet minimum efficiency performance
10

levels, thus reducing energy and water waste and saving
11

consumers and businesses money on utility bills.
12

(2) Efficiency standards save energy and reduce
13

climate-changing emissions and other environmental impacts
14

associated with the production, distribution, and use of
15

electricity, natural gas, and related fuels.
16

(3) Efficiency standards also save water, mitigating
17

the effects of short-term and long-term droughts and
18

helping to conserve fresh water supplies.
19

(4) Utility savings resulting from more efficient
20

products benefit all consumers but are especially
21

important to low-income families, who spend a
22

disproportionate share of their income on utilities.
23

Efficiency standards also help the State and local

HB5366
- 2 -
LRB104 19979 WRO 33430 b
1

economies because bill savings can be spent on local goods
2

and services.
3

(5) Energy and water savings help reduce or delay the
4

need for expensive investments in new power plants,
5

transmission lines, and distribution system upgrades, new
6

and expanded gas pipelines, and water and sewer
7

infrastructure improvements.

products as may be designated by the Director. In considering
16
such new or amended standards, the Director shall set

standards, flexible demand appliance standards, or test
2
procedures established under this Section. Manufacturers,
3
retailers, distributors, or installers of covered products and
4
potentially covered products may petition the Agency for a
5
waiver. The Agency must make details publicly available of any
6
such petition and final ruling. The Agency may grant a waiver
7
only if doing so will support the objectives of this Act and
8
will not result in a significant erosion of consumer or
9
environmental benefits from this Act.

Testing, certification, labeling, and
14
enforcement.
15

(a) The manufacturers of covered products shall test

20

(b) Manufacturers of covered products shall certify to the
21
Agency, or to an approved third party as determined by the
22
Director, that such products are in compliance with the
23
provisions of this Act. Such certifications shall be based on

sale or installation or other similar means as determined by
8
the Agency. The Agency shall adopt rules governing the
9
identification of such products and packaging, which shall be
10
coordinated to the greatest practical extent with the labeling
11
programs of other states and federal agencies with equivalent
12
efficiency standards. The Agency shall allow the use of
13
existing marks, labels, or tags, which connote compliance with
14
the efficiency requirements of this Act.
15

(d) The Agency shall support compliance with the
16
provisions of this Act through outreach and education to
17
manufacturers and affected parties who sell or install covered

20
through collaboration with investor-owned utilities or other
21
interested parties such as trade associations or technical or
22
trade schools.
23

(e) Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to limit

and the public on products found not to be in compliance
10

with the standards.
11

(g) The Agency may cause periodic inspections to be made
12
of distributors or retailers of new covered products in order
13
to determine compliance with the provisions of this Act. The
14
Agency shall investigate complaints received concerning
15
violations of this Act.
16

(h) If the Agency finds that any person has committed a
17
violation of any provision of this Act, the Agency shall issue

a warning to such person. Any person who commits a violation
19
after the issuance of such warning shall, following notice and
20
an opportunity to be heard, be subject to a civil penalty
21
issued by the Agency of up to $100 for each violation. Any
22
further violations committed by such person after this second
23
violation shall be subject to a civil penalty issued by the
24
Agency of not more than $500 for each violation. Each product
25
offered, sold, or distributed in violation of this Act shall
26
constitute a separate violation, and each day that a violation

HB5366
- 26 -
LRB104 19979 WRO 33430 b

occurs shall constitute a separate violation. Penalties
2
assessed under this subsection are in addition to costs
3
assessed under subsection (f) of this Section. The Agency
4
shall adopt rules that establish procedures under this
5
subsection comporting with due process and that provide for
6
the review of final decisions under the Administrative Review
7
Law.
8

(i) If the Agency finds repeated violations have occurred,
9
it shall refer the matter to the Attorney General. The
10
Attorney General may institute proceedings to seek an

injunction in circuit court to enforce the provisions of this
12
Act, in addition to any other remedies under this Act or in law
13
or equity.
