(b) Notwithstanding any other law, it is unlawful for a
manufacturer to import for profit, sell, or offer for sale in
this State any cosmetic, if the cosmetic was developed or
manufactured using an animal test that was conducted or
contracted by the manufacturer, or any supplier of the
manufacturer, on or after January 1, 2020.
(c) The prohibitions in subsection (b) do not apply to the
following:
(1) An animal test of any cosmetic that is required by
a federal or State regulatory authority, if each of the
following apply:
(A) an ingredient is in wide use and cannot be
replaced by another ingredient capable of performing a
similar function;
(B) a specific human health problem is
substantiated and the need to conduct animal tests is
justified and supported by a detailed research
protocol proposed as the basis for the evaluation; and
(C) there is not a nonanimal alternative method
accepted for the relevant endpoint by the relevant
federal or State regulatory authority.
(2) An animal test that was conducted to comply with a

substantiate the safety of the cosmetic being sold in
Illinois by the manufacturer.

(3) An animal test that was conducted on any product or
ingredient subject to the requirements of Subchapter V of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
(4) An animal test that was conducted for noncosmetic
purposes in response to a requirement of a federal, State,
or foreign regulatory authority, if no evidence derived
from the test was relied upon to substantiate the safety of
the cosmetic sold in Illinois by the manufacturer. A
manufacturer is not prohibited from reviewing, assessing,
or retaining evidence from an animal test conducted under
this paragraph.

initial civil penalty of $5,000 for the first day of each
violation and an additional civil penalty of $1,000 for each

determination that there is a reasonable likelihood of a
violation of this Section, review the testing data upon which a
cosmetic manufacturer has relied in the development or
manufacturing of the relevant cosmetic product sold in this
State. Information provided under this Section shall be

SB0241 - 4 - LRB101 06224 CPF 51249 b
protected as a trade secret as defined in Section 2 of the
Illinois Trade Secrets Act. In an action under this Section, a
court shall preserve the secrecy of an alleged trade secret by
reasonable means, which may include granting protective orders
in connection with discovery proceedings, holding in-camera
hearings, sealing the records of the action, and ordering any
person involved in the litigation not to disclose an alleged
trade secret without prior court approval. Consistent with the
procedures described in this subsection, a State's Attorney or
municipal attorney shall enter a protective order with a
manufacturer before receipt of information from a manufacturer
under this Section, and shall take other appropriate measures
necessary to preserve the confidentiality of information
provided under this Section.
(g) This Section does not apply to either of the following:
(1) A cosmetic, if the cosmetic in its final form was
sold in Illinois or tested on animals prior to January 1,
2020, even if the cosmetic is manufactured after that date.
(2) An ingredient, if the ingredient was sold in
Illinois or tested on animals prior to January 1, 2020,
even if the ingredient is manufactured after that date.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
cosmetic inventory in violation of this Section may be sold for
a period of 180 days.

cosmetics on animals in a manner inconsistent with the

regulation by the State of the testing of cosmetics on animals
under this Section. This subsection is a limitation under
subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of
powers and functions exercised by the State.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
