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.
Illinois is advancing packaging EPR along two tracks, House bill HB 4064 and Senate bill SB 702, both currently stalled pending the state's Statewide Recycling Needs Assessment (SRNA), whose report is due December 2026. Given the Democratic trifecta, observers give Illinois a medium-to-high likelihood of moving after the assessment. 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.
