Summary of HB 3075 — Illinois Health and Safety in Cosmetology and Barbering Products Disclosure Act

What the bill aims to do

HB 3075 creates the Illinois Health and Safety in Cosmetology and Barbering Products Disclosure Act. Its core purpose is to ensure customers are informed about potential health risks of chemical beauty products sold or used in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, hair braiding, and nail technology settings. The act requires explicit posting of health risk information and distribution of an informational pamphlet at points of sale or service.

Key provisions

  • Postings of health risk information (Section 10):

    • Cosmetologists, barbers, and beauty supply retailers must display a visible, readable notice in a prominent location.
    • The notice must indicate that some products may contain chemicals known to harm health, list common chemicals (e.g., formaldehyde, phthalates, parabens, toluene) and their associated health risks, and reference resources for more information.
    • The posted notice must be at least 11 inches by 14 inches and legible from a reasonable distance.
    • The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) must develop a compliant notice and make a printable download available online.

  • Pamphlet distribution (Section 15):

    • At the point of sale or service, customers must receive a pamphlet containing the same information as the posting, plus descriptions of health risks and a list of ingredients with known or suspected health effects.
    • The pamphlet must include contact information for IDPH and other trusted resources.
    • The pamphlet must also be downloadable from IDPH’s website.

  • Definitions (Section 5):

    • Clarifies terms such as “Barber,” “Cosmetologist,” “Beauty supply retailer,” and “Chemical beauty products.”
    • Defines “Health risks” broadly to include cancer, birth defects, reproductive harm, endocrine disruption, skin irritation, and other health effects, referencing recognized health authorities.

  • Compliance and enforcement (Section 20):

    • IDPH is responsible for monitoring compliance and conducting inspections of beauty supply retailers and salons to ensure postings and pamphlets are provided.
    • Violations constitute a petty offense.
    • The requirements do not apply to individuals or businesses that do not sell or use chemical products.

Who is affected

  • Licensed beauty professionals (cosmetologists, barbers, estheticians, nail technicians) and beauty supply retailers operating in Illinois.
  • Businesses that sell or use chemical beauty products at or from salons, barber shops, or retail outlets.
  • Exempts those not selling or using chemical products from the requirements.

Procedural/timeline notes

  • Introduced: February 20, 2025; filed February 6, 2025.
  • Status indicates Rule 19(a) consideration and re-referral to Rules Committee (most recently noted April 11, 2025).
  • Sponsors include primary Rep. Sonya M. Harper and several cosponsors.

Practical impact

If enacted, businesses must allocate space for a standardized health risk notice, ensure staff provide pamphlets, and maintain compliance through IDPH inspections. Penalties are minor (petty offense), reflecting a consumer-information focus rather than heavy regulatory enforcement.
