The Illinois Environmental Council (IEC) released its annual Legislative Environmental Scorecard this week, scoring state legislators based on their voting record on legislation affecting the environment during 2025 legislative business. Senate President Don Harmon has been honored with a perfect voting record on the environment.

The 2025 Legislative Environmental Scorecard includes 16 legislative measures. Specific priorities from this year’s Scorecard include:

• PFAS Product Phase-Out – HB2516 (Rep. Rashid / Sen. Morrison)
  • Phases out the use of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), aka “forever chemicals," in the manufacturing of children’s products, cosmetics, intimate apparel such as sleepwear or underwear, menstrual products, and dental floss by 2032.

• Climate Displacement Act – SB1859 (Sen. Guzmán / Rep. Guzzardi)
  • In a bold commitment to proactive, people-centered climate policy, this bill establishes Illinois’ first Climate Displacement Task Force.
• Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) Funding – SB2466 (Sen. Aquino / Rep. Evans)
  • Boosts grant funding for acquiring open space lands and supporting conservation projects in distressed communities and locations.
• Mahomet Aquifer Drinking Water Protections – SB1723 (Rep. Ammons / Sen. Faraci)
  • In 2024, Illinois passed nation-leading legislation to regulate Carbon Capture and Sequestration, but the Mahomet Aquifer, which supplies clean water to nearly one million people throughout Central Illinois, was originally left unprotected. This bill extended that legislation to protect the sole-source aquifer and public drinking water from proposed carbon injection well projects.

A total of 64 state legislators received recognition for their 100% voting record during the legislative session in 2025. IEC releases its scorecard annually.
