Bill Information
Introduced by Illinois Representatives Janet Yang Rohr and Theresa Mah in the 2025-2026 legislative session, the Ban on Harmful Supplements for Minors Act (HB3027) seeks to protect youth from underregulated diet pills and muscle-building supplements. This bill would prohibit the sale of these products to individuals under 18 unless prescribed by a healthcare provider. It also establishes enforcement measures, including civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, and grants authority to the Attorney General and the Department of Public Health to regulate additional supplements as needed.
