Below I summarize each distinct measure that appears in the document, with the most relevant provisions and status information for each.
Summary — HB 1893 (Illinois) — “Household Hazardous Waste Stewardship Act”
- Purpose: Create a manufacturer‑led statewide stewardship program to collect and ensure environmentally sound management of household hazardous products sold for residential use.

- Manufacturers and stewardship organizations must register with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) by April 1, 2026, and annually thereafter.
- Defines “covered products” broadly to include many household hazardous items (examples: aerosol products, cleaners, fertilizers, pesticides, fluorescent lamps, pool chemicals, automotive fluids including do‑it‑yourself used oil and antifreeze). It excludes certain items (e.g., batteries covered by other laws, drugs, medical waste, paint covered under an existing Paint Stewardship Act, some agricultural products, electronic devices, e‑cigarettes, etc.).
- Stewardship plans must describe roles of manufacturers, retailers, and collection sites; collection, transportation and disposal processes; outreach and marketing; and reporting.

- Stewardship organization(s) must pay an annual IEPA fee of $200,000 (split if more than one organization).
- Includes reporting requirements, rulemaking authority for the Agency, civil and criminal penalties, and an antitrust immunity provision for cooperative stewardship activities.
