Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act and the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act. Authorizes a person who is at least 18 years of age to purchase up to 20 sterile hypodermic syringes or needles at a pharmacy without a prescription. Authorizes a pharmacist to sell up to 20 sterile hypodermic syringes or needles to a person who is at least 18 years of age. Provides that the Illinois Department of Public Health must develop educational materials regarding safer injection, HIV prevention, syringe disposal, and drug treatment and make copies of those materials available to pharmacists. Provides that pharmacists must make those educational materials available to persons who purchase syringes. Repeals the Section in the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act requiring a person who sells a syringe, needle, or instrument to keep a record of the sale. Effective immediately.

 Correctional Note (Department of Corrections)
 The fiscal impact of House Bill 1253 will be minimal (reduction).

 Judicial Note (Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts)
 House Bill 1253 would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the state.

 State Debt Impact Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission)
 HB 1253 would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Balanced Budget Note (Bureau of the Budget)
 Section 10 of the Balanced Budget Note Act requires the preparation of a Balanced Budget Note for supplemental appropriation bills. Since this House Bill is not a supplemental appropriation bill, it is not possible to complete this Note as requested.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Public Health)
 The Department estimates the cost of developing, printing, and distributing education materials to pharmacists to provide to persons purchasing sterile syringes during the first year the bill is in effect to be $93,800. Annual costs thereafter are estimated at $83,800.

 Fiscal Note (Corrected) (Department of Public Health)
 The Department estimates the cost of developing, printing, and distributing education materials to pharmacists and developing guidelines to advise local health departments on disposal of used syringes and needles during the first year the law is enacted at $61,634. Annual costs thereafter are estimated at $18,200.

 Home Rule Note (Dept of Commerce and Community Affairs)
 House Bill 1253 does not contain language indicating a pre-emption of home rule powers and functions. Therefore, in the opinion of DCCA, HB 1253 does not pre-empt home rule authority.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (Dept of Commerce and Community Affairs)
 HB 1253 creates a service mandate for which reimbursement of 50%-100% of the increased costs to units of local government is required under the States Mandate Act. An estimated of the increased costs to local governments is not available.
