Gov. Pritzker Statement on Passage of Cannabis Legislation

Press Release

Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement after the General Assembly passed legislation to strengthen the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.

"As Illinois prepares to launch legal adult-use cannabis, this legislation will strengthen the most equity- cannabis law in the nation, especially with stronger provisions to prevent conflicts of interest among elected officials and provide more information to people whose records will be expunged," said Governor JB Pritzker. "Illinois has done more to put justice and equity at the forefront than any other state in the nation, and we're ensuring that communities that have been hurt by the war on drugs have the opportunity to participate."
