Bill Summary · SB 114

Legislative bill overview

SB 114, the Fragrance Safety Act, is a newly introduced Illinois bill that addresses safety standards and labeling requirements for fragrance products. The bill was filed on January 17, 2025, and is currently in the early legislative stage following its first reading and referral to committee assignments.

Why is this important

Fragrance products are widely used in consumer goods including perfumes, colognes, personal care items, and household products. Current federal regulations allow fragrance ingredients to be listed generically as "fragrance" or "parfum" without disclosing specific chemical components, raising concerns about consumer awareness of potential allergens and irritants. This bill could increase transparency and consumer protection in a largely unregulated product category.

Potential points of contention

  • Industry compliance costs: Manufacturers may argue that detailed disclosure requirements increase production costs and create competitive disadvantages, particularly for small businesses
  • Trade secret protection: The fragrance industry relies heavily on proprietary formulations; mandatory ingredient disclosure could conflict with protecting intellectual property
  • Scope ambiguity: Without seeing the full bill text, it's unclear whether regulations would apply equally to all fragrance products or target specific categories, which could create implementation challenges
