SB2790

Illinois SB2790 mandates lung cancer screening information and counseling through the tobacco quitline and requires educational materials for tobacco.

Illinois SB2790, known as the Expanded Access to Lung Cancer Screening Act, requires the Department of Public Health to provide information and counseling about lung cancer screening to individuals accessing the tobacco quitline. The bill mandates the development of signage and educational inserts for retailers of tobacco products and nicotine replacement therapies, including eligibility criteria and referral information for lung cancer screening. Retailers who intentionally violate these provisions are guilty of a petty offense.
