IL HB3555

Establishes the Illinois Junk Mail Opt-Out List Act, allowing Illinois residents to register addresses to opt out of receiving unsolicited bulk mail ("junk mail").

Requires the Attorney General to establish and operate the opt-out list by July 1, 2020, through a designated agent, with registration available online and by toll-free phone at no cost to postal patrons.

Prohibits any person from sending junk mail to addresses registered on the opt-out list; junk mailers must consult and update their copy of the list every calendar quarter within 30 days of each quarter's start.

Exempts from junk mail restrictions: communications with prior express consent, established business relationships, small businesses (3 or fewer employees), 501(c)(3) charities, political entities, and certain licensed professionals setting appointments.

Creates the Junk Mail Opt-Out Fund to collect registration fees (up to $500 annually on sliding scale, with no fees for entities under 5 employees, nonprofits, and conforming list brokers) and civil penalties ($1,000 first violation, $2,500 subsequent) for enforcement and administration.
