AI Summary
This bill amends the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act to establish a new type of licensed facility called a consolidated transport center, which is an independent, secure facility used for temporarily storing and transferring cannabis products between licensed transportation vehicles. The bill provides detailed requirements for these centers, including mandatory security plans, access controls, surveillance systems, and strict tracking of all cannabis products through the state's cannabis plant monitoring system. Only licensed transportation organizations will be permitted to move cannabis to and from these centers, and the centers must be owned by independent social equity transporting organizations. The bill also allows cannabis businesses like craft growers and infusers to contract with transportation organizations to move their products through these consolidated transport centers. Additionally, the legislation permits entities awarded transporting licenses to defer paying their license fees for up to three years and requires all cannabis business entities to follow traceability and consumer protection guidelines established by the Department of Agriculture when using the plant monitoring or transport GPS tracking systems. The bill is designed to create a more regulated and traceable system for cannabis transportation in Illinois, with a particular focus on supporting social equity in the cannabis industry.
