Illinois’s proposed ban on the sale of
animal-tested cosmetics, SB 241, passed the Senate on March 21; on May 1 it received unanimous approval from the House Labor
& Commerce Committee and now is being considered by the full House.
This legislation would prohibit manufacturers from selling,
importing or offering for sale in Illinois any cosmetic for which an animal
test was conducted by or on behalf of the manufacturer after January 2020.
Cosmetics are broadly defined as any article used for personal hygiene or
beautification.
Urgent Call to Action:
- Please call
your Illinois state Representative and ask them to vote “yes” on ending
the manufacture, marketing and sale of animal-tested cosmetics in Illinois.
- Spread the word! Forward this email and share this page with your social
network.
While
the fight to pass a federal Humane Cosmetics Act continues, state-level bills
are making big strides toward making our country cruelty-free—and Illinois is
on its way to becoming the next state to take a stand for animals.
But
this can’t happen without people like you who are willing to make their voices
heard.
The
deadline for making a difference in Illinois is quickly approaching. Thank you
for your urgent action to help get this legislation passed into law.
