Illinois HB5474 regulates outdoor lighting to minimize light pollution and protect natural habitats.
HB5474 amends the Responsible Outdoor Lighting Control Act to set strict standards for outdoor lighting. It mandates that all new luminaires purchased or installed after June 30, 2032, must have a color temperature of 2,700 Kelvin or lower. The act prohibits artificial lighting from trespassing onto designated natural areas, reserves, and open spaces. Exceptions include cases where federal law preempts the act, safety or security needs exist, or lighting is necessary for navigational purposes.
