Illinois Commonsense Consumption Act

The act governs civil liability for claims that weight gain, obesity, or associated health conditions resulted from the long-term consumption of food. It generally exempts claims of that kind from civil actions while identifying categories of claims that may still be brought, and for those permitted suits it imposes heightened pleading requirements and a stay of discovery. It also defines the terms it uses and sets out how it is to be construed and which actions fall within its reach.
