It could soon be illegal to release “a large amount of balloons” outside in Illinois. House Bill 418 is looking to create a $500 fine for balloons that are released at birthday parties, weddings, and other social gatherings. The bill would act as an amendment in the current Environmental Protection Act, but it does raise a few questions, mainly what is a large amount of balloons and how would they enforce this?
