RX TAKE-BACK DAY
This House Resolution designates June 10, 2026, as "Prescription Drug Take-Back Day" in Illinois. It is a ceremonial declaration recognizing the success of existing community drug take-back programs, which allow residents to safely dispose of unused or expired medications. The resolution references Illinois' existing Drug Take-Back Act (Public Act 102-1055) and past collection efforts, such as Cook County's 5,443 pounds and DuPage County's 13,470 pounds of medication collected in 2024-2025. It does not create new laws or requirements but formally designates a date to highlight ongoing overdose prevention efforts.
