Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 16. Public awareness campaign.

The Department shall, in consultation with appropriate agencies and organizations, establish a public awareness campaign to assist the public in understanding the threat of mold in indoor environments and the importance of removing mold. As part of the campaign, the Department shall:

(1) establish, in accordance with rules adopted under

this Act, a public awareness campaign on the dangers of mold, as well as the potential toxic compounds that they can emit and produce, and, as part of the campaign, disseminate information via brochures and the Department's website;

(2) provide reference to and contact information for

organizations or government agencies that can provide the public with information pertaining to the health effects of mold, mold testing methods, or accredited industry standards for the remediation of mold; and

(3) perform every 5 years, in accordance with rules

adopted under this Act, a review of the technology or treatment techniques for mold identification and remediation that provide additional protections to public health and safety and include, as part of that review, an examination of any new scientific evidence that indicates that mold may present a greater health risk to the public than previously determined.
