HB4185

Illinois HB4185 prohibits the sale and distribution of counterfeit official insignia and uniforms.

Illinois HB4185, the Official Insignia and Uniform Sales Act, prohibits the manufacture, sale, marketing, promotion, advertising, or distribution of counterfeit official insignia or uniforms. It defines "counterfeit official insignia or uniform" as an item that resembles an official insignia or uniform of a public employee to the extent that it would deceive an ordinary individual. The Act allows for certain defenses, such as using the items for dramatic presentations, legitimate law enforcement purposes, or law enforcement retirement.
