HB2548

Illinois HB2548 prohibits the sale and distribution of self-administered sexual assault evidence collection kits.

Illinois HB2548 amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to make it unlawful for any person to sell, market, promote, advertise, or distribute self-administered sexual assault evidence collection kits to consumers. The bill defines a "self-administered sexual assault evidence collection kit" as materials marketed for individuals, not medical professionals, to collect physical evidence of sexual assault. This law aims to prevent the misuse of such kits, ensuring that only trained professionals handle the collection of evidence in sexual assault cases.
