Not enacted. Illinois has no active packaging EPR program. No producer registration, reporting, or fees apply today. This page tracks the bill's status so producers can plan ahead.
In Illinois, House bill HB 4064 carries substantive packaging EPR text and creates the Extended Producer Responsibility and Recycling Refund Act. Rep. Maurice A. West II filed it on May 21, 2025 and it was referred to the Rules Committee the same day, with no action since. The Senate companion, SB 1817, contains only a short title provision and no substantive text. Both are stalled pending the state's Statewide Recycling Needs Assessment (SRNA), whose report is due December 2026. In EPR Atlas's editorial read, Illinois is a likely mover after the assessment, with two bills already filed. Illinois packaging EPR is not enacted, so no producer obligations or fees apply today. If a bill passes in 2027, fees would likely begin in 2027 or 2028, with the Illinois EPA as the oversight agency.
