April 21, 2026 – A measure aimed at improving access to medication recall information is moving forward in the Illinois legislature.
State Sen. Doris Turner says the proposal would help patients more easily determine whether their prescriptions have been recalled. The legislation would require licensed pharmacies across the state to post a visible sign near counters and drive-thru windows featuring a QR code linking to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website, where users can sign up for recall alerts.
Turner says the goal is to provide quicker access to safety information without placing additional responsibilities on pharmacists.
Senate Bill 3223 passed the Illinois Senate with bipartisan support and now moves to the House for consideration.
