IL HB5338

Requires the Department of Public Health to generate a list of chemicals of high concern by July 1, 2010, in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency, based on credible scientific evidence of harm to fetal/child development, cancer risk, reproductive harm, endocrine disruption, or toxicity.

Allows the Department to designate chemicals of high concern as priority chemicals if they are high-production volume chemicals identified by EPA and have been found in human biomonitoring samples, household environments, or wildlife.

Requires the Department to publish a priority chemicals list in the Illinois Register and online by February 1, 2011, and update it whenever new priority chemicals are designated.

Exempts from the Act's requirements: chemicals not in children's products, agricultural chemicals, motor vehicles (except car seats), pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food and beverage packaging (except baby food/formula containers), consumer electronics, and outdoor sports equipment.

Authorizes the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency to accept donations and grants to implement the Act and allows Illinois to participate in an interstate chemicals clearinghouse to share data on chemical hazards and safer alternatives.
