Starting July 1, hotel guests in Illinois will no longer find single-use personal care products readily available in their rooms.
Signed into law last year, the Small Single-Use Plastic Act prohibits hotels from stocking hotel rooms with small, single-use plastic bottles containing personal care products.
The law will first apply to hotels with 50 or more rooms and will extend to hotels with fewer than 50 rooms beginning January 1, 2026. Hotels found in violation will receive a written warning for a first offense and face fines of up to $1,500 for second and subsequent offenses.
However, hotels may still provide personal care bottles to guests upon request.
